That’s right, only 58 days until the show as of February 17. This is a reminder to everyone to plan on attending the 2009 AMPS International Show (April 17-18) in Havre De Grace, MD. Head on over to the AMPS website show registration page (http://www.amps-armor.org/ampssite/conventions/showReg.aspx?ShowID=24) and pre-register. Pre-registration (and/or volunteering to be a judge) will allow you enter your models on Thursday night. On Friday and Saturday there will be a special line for pre-registrants to receive their admission badge, after which you can walk right to the pass-through table and hand off your model. No waiting in line is required.

Remember, you only have until March 15 to pre-register.

All current members of AMPS will receive a discount on the price for entry into the show. If your membership is about to expire, please renew your membership.
