Chris Hollinshead replies:
It does sound like a wonderful idea, but scary!!! The AIS convention has
already been held here once before, in 1955. This was the one and only
time it has ever been held outside the USA. Yes, we do have the gardens
as you mention, plus a few more, plus the gardens and people of Western New
York state which is only 40 miles away, plus Niagara Falls.
Hmmmmmmm...
