Ben,
no, there are no CP clubs around here..
there has been talk of forming one over the years, but nothing has developed..
the problem is that there are too few of us, and we are scattered too far apart.
some of the people here on PFT considered forming a "great lakes" region type club, similar to the actual CP club that exists for New England..
a club like that could include Western NY, Ohio, maybe into Indiana and Michigan..that kind of thing.
the problem with that is that maybe everyone could get together once a year or so..it certainly cant happen once a month! I cant drive 10 hours to Ohio once a month for a club meeting...
so I dont think its likely a local club would fly..although who knows! maybe there are more of us around than we think...
im in Rochester, but my CP collection is going to be in a holding pattern for the next year or so..
I just got married, and we got an apartment in the city, but I have no good outdoor space there for my collection next summer..so for the 2006 growing season, all my CPs are going to grow indoors at work...its not ideal, but its the best I can do right now.. (I can put them on the roof in the fall to prepare for dormancy!
then, once we buy a house, the collection can thrive outdoors again!
so look me up in 2007, and I can show you the collection then!
I wont be able to show anyone my CPs in 2006, because they will be indoors at a secure building at Kodak..I cant let anyone in...
