I was thinking that maybe the announcement on the AGA website should mention a couple more things. These are things that always seem to come up early on when a local club entertains the notion of hosting a convention: -- the convention doesn't have to be in November but should avoid conflicts with other hobby conventions and holidays, -- specify a deadline for proposals for a 2006 convention. Given that the first point affects the second. I suggest a specifying a "floating" deadline of 9 months prior to the event. Thus, to propose hosting a November convention, the deadline would be February 2006, to propose, for example, a September convention, the deadline would be December 2005. Any thoughts? Btw, we did have expressions of interest regarding a 2005 convention from a couple other clubs, they just didn't carry it into a work effort like SFBAAPS -- partly out of lack of anticipated resources and partly because they figured another club was already being considered. Phil's group comes to mind and there was a midwestern club too, iirc. sh _______________________________________________ AGA-mcm mailing list AGA-mcm@thekrib.com http://lists.thekrib.com/mailman/listinfo/aga-mcm
