James: Jack and David make very valid points, which, of course, would be just what you would anticipate from loyal AGA MC members. However, as you pointed out in your response to them, we considered this as a possibility, but eventually rejected it as being too expensive. By the way, I don't think the event would ever become "a fully members-only event" if their entry fees were waved. Since we would accept only the first 300 entries and then stop, I would hope that the order of arrival would be completely random and AGA members would not be given a chance to enter once applications were no longer accepted. Other than that, I agree with your response.
