Not a problem my friend.

This is one of my favorite classes each year, no question about it. I always look forward to it.

This class has always been held in South Hill, VA, but LAV needs to stay closer to home more often in 2010 so the class got moved to Fayetteville.

FYI: I've still got a small number of open seats for this class. If you own an AK you owe it to yourself to take this class. LAV is the undisputed king of the AK.
