Our third email Update has been sent out to over 700 addresses. If you did not receive it, you can read all of the past Updates on our Updates page. A few emails bounced as invalid, and we will be checking to see if there were maybe simple typos. As a reminder, if you have not given us your or your spouse's email address, please send it to the Registrar and we will get you added to the list.

The second email Update has just been sent out to over 600 addresses! If you did not receive it, you can read all of the past Updates (both of them!) on our Updates page. A few emails bounced as invalid, and we will be checking to see if there were maybe simple typos. As a reminder, if you have not given us your or your spouse's email address, please send it to the Registrar and we will get you added to the list.

We have just sent out the first PDX 2015 Update email to all of the registrants that have provided us with an email address, plus some others that have signed up on the web site. You can see a copy of it at http://eepurl.com/YUeX1

These Updates will also be posted to our Facebook and Twitter pages.

If you would like to receive these Updates as the convention planning proceeds, just subscribe to the mailing list using the form at the bottom of the page. If you have already registered for the convention and given us an email address, then you should have received the first Update email. If you have registered, but did not give us an email address and you have one, please send it to the registrar and you will be added to our list.

We have updated the look of the web site and added some photos of some of the layouts, and other attractions in the Portland area. The menu has also been revamped a little. If you have any problems using the new site, please let the webmaster know.

Please note that the early registration rates have gone up a bit, but they are still at a discount from the full fare. This last early registration period will end on August 31, 2014, so please get your basic registration in early, if you'd like to save a bit of money.

This is the new home of the NMRA Portland convention. The content has been moved from the old site, and the URL remains the same. Please send any issues with the new web site to the webmaster, webmaster@nmra2015portland.org.

A simple online registration facility is available with credit card payments handled through PayPal. You don't need to be a PayPal member to use it. A full online registration is still to come from the NMRA.

And remember that the early discount expires at the end of August 2014!

Early registration is now open for the convention. For now, a downloadable PDF form is available to be completed and mailed in with your payment. Soon there will be an online option that will eventually allow you to purchase all of the tours, and other events online.

Please note that there is an Early Registration discount that will expire at the end of August, so if you want to get in at the cheapest rate, don't delay!
