Conventions
RinkWorks holds what will hopefully turn out to be annual
RinkWorks Conventions, casually called RinkUnions. The purpose for
these conventions is for RinkWorks readers to be able to get
together in person, get to know each other, and have some fun. The activities
at the conventions are reflective of the content on the RinkWorks
web site. Typically, the conventions will span a weekend; on Saturday, we'll
be in a function hall or another room suitable for the occasion, and on Sunday
we'll do something together in the local area.
