I think it is also a good idea to encourage other train hobby organizations to participate in the York Meet as well. LCCA's presence at York is a good example of this presence.
EDTCA does provide the venue space for operating layouts in the white, purple and black halls and that will attract the kids to see the trains operate. As for LCCA's presence in the Orange hall lobby, I question why they are being set up in the lobby. With the added space in that hall at this show and perhaps the upcoming ones there, why can't EDTCA place their layout inside the hall and give them the additional space to expand their layout and show their trains to interested folks. There was enough space where Lionel and Atlas would have been that we could have an inside football game there. But instead, it was empty looking.
WAKE UP EDTCA. YOU MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY TO FILL THAT VOID IN THAT AREA OF THAT HALL. LCCA has a mission to bring younger folks into the hobby. 
Just my 2 cents.
