Plant tours are now handled through the plant.  The NCM can not arrange for any tours.  Seems dumb to me, but that's the way it is.

I could arrange for a Group tour (or two) through C3VR.  I was thinking of doing it for Thursday during C3X. 

Outside of this group tour, people are able to go own their own to a public tour.  Advance reservations are recommended.  Walk-ins are not guaranteed to get in.  There is no difference between the private tour and public tour other than the fact that you won't be with total strangers on the private tour.

So my question is this... should I schedule a private group plant tour for C3VR members on Thursday afternoon?  Would you come?  I have to put a $5/person (refundable) deposit to make the reservation.  You'd then pay me if you go.

A private tour on Thursday would definitely be good as long as it didn't compete with something that the Museum would be planning for us. If the tour was from 9 to 10 AM, that would probably work.

Well, part of the reason I'm thinking about setting this up is that right now the unofficial incomplete agenda is light for Thursday.  There are a couple of road tours planned, so I was thinking for those that don't want to go on either or both of the road tours, they could go to the plant tour.

Sounds good to me.
When we get towards the end of the line, I've got dibbs on starting the engine
