Hope they are at the Raleigh NAC in December. | Hmmm.....if F.Net's goign to have a booth they should be.
The checking for holes at Vet Worlds may be a reaction to teh injuries through the glove at Jr Worlds. FIE's starting to think about manufacturiung standards now, as well...due to those same injuries.
Did you ever fidn the brand name on those gloves with the 2 part fingers?? (see previous page....your last post) | |

(see previous page....your last post) | Yeah, I sent you a private message a week or so ago. The name was "GRIPS". I looked as recently as yesterday at a Home Depot and they did not have them. I asked the associate in the department where the gloves are and he knew exactly what I was talking about but, they did not have them, nor did they know if they were getting more. Also, I tried to do an internet search but was overwhelmed by the number of hits. Sorry.

Craig | Some database wierdness - I think the hosting machine was about 12 hours off this morning - hence the funky timestamps. | |
