Leaky,

Here are some details I got from Kiene's web site ( [url=http://www.kiene.com/events.htm:3e936]http://www.kiene.com/events.htm[/url:3e936] ). I have not gone to the Spey-O-Rama yet, but my understanding is that it is for anyone interested in spey casting, at all levels of expertise. You might want to contact the organizer for more details.
