Re: [AGA-sc] SFBAAPS bid -- half an hour a day

["S. Hieber" <shieber@yahoo.com>]

After wrting my previous post, as well as Larry's and
Erik's. . .Well, I simply don't know what would be best. 

On the one hand I think SF and GWAPA are more the norm and
DFWAPC was a special case. It's not a question of lead
time, or documents, or sharing financial liabilities.
Irrespective of those things, the problems are fundamental
and still present -- lack of leadership skills, personnel
resources, or relevent experience or all three. So this is
what local-hosting is like and either we get used to it or
. . .  or maybe we might be better off doing it ourselves
each year or every other year.

Otoh, what about the reasons we had for want a local club
to host and not do it ourselves year after year? Uh, this
predates my AGA existence, but I was around a bit of this.
Do we have the personel to do this every or every other
year? Also, wasn't local-hosting supposed to be part of AGA
reaching out and getting others in involved? If so, is that
working, or not?

Maybe we could get a local club or clubs to cohost with
AGA, for some portion net revenues, if any, or a fixed fee
for a specific piece or pieces of the labor?

Maybe we need to shop around to clubs with convention
experience. Or maybe we need to start believing more in the
current process.

"Alice laughed, "There's no use trying," she said, "one
can't believe impossible things." 

"I daresay you haven't had much practice," said the Queen.
"When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a
day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible
things before breakfast."
