Thank you for visiting!
These web pages provide general information about the 2013 O Scale West / S West 8 meet. They are designed to give you a high level view of the meet; subsidiary pages that are linked to below will give you more detailed information about the meet.
Below "O Scale West / S West 8" is abbreviated to "OSW".
At the time this page was updated (April 2012) the 2013 meet is less than a year away.
As information about the meet becomes available it is added to these web pages, so take note of the date above when these pages were updated, and only spend time looking for new information if the pages have been updated since then.
The meet dates are January 24 - 26, 2013. The days for those dates are Thursday through Saturday.
$25 for individual registrations, $30 after December 31. $20 Saturday-only walk up rate. 30" x 72" tables are $35 each, $40 after December 31. More information on what your money gets you is HERE.
OSW 2013 will be held at the Hyatt Regency Santa Clara in Santa Clara, CA (San Francisco Bay Area). The Hyatt is located at 5101 Great American Parkway in Santa Clara. OSW has obtained a special room rate of $TBD plus tax per night; the rate is fixed for any occupancy 1 up to 4. When the Hyatt has provided an event code to us we will give it here along with contact information so you can make reservations for lodging during your attendance at OSW.
Note: OSW contracts with the hotel for the facilities it uses. The contract amount is a sliding scale based upon the number of hotel rooms OSW attendees use. The more rooms used the lower the cost of the facilities to OSW and as a direct result, the lower the cost of admission and tables to the OSW attendees and vendors.
Pre-registration is not required; you can walk up during the meet and register. The advantage to pre-registration is that badges for you and your party will be pre-printed, and if you specify the O or S scale on your registration, you will be categorized appropriately enabling us to track registrants by scale. If you rent tables you must pre-register. Pre-registration closes as of mail received on January 17, 2013.
