Re: [AGA-sc] Convention fri nite



It does seem a little unfair that locals, who don't have other costs, can get in without paying the $20 membership, but if you're coming from outside the area, and spend a lot of money to get there, you do.

In the past we've always let host club membership suffice. Is that no so?

If you remember, we had a bit of an issue with the GWAPA members because they were significantly cheaper than AGA membership, and we had to insist that prior GWAPA members were grandfathered in but new GWAPA memberships didn't count. Or was that DFWAPC? Naw, I think it was GWAPA.

SFBAAPS membership is FREE. You just have to be a Bay Area resident. They currently have 200 of these free members. So basically if one went by that rule, all local residents would get in without additional membership fees. But in typical SFBAAPS fashion, I suspect they are not aware of this tradition.

I just don't know how gracious we're feeling right now.

1. We could not tell them, and let the bomb explode when all the free-loadin' locals figure out they not only have to pay registration, but an additional $20, or

2. We could formalize the agreement to include SFBAAPS memberships, meaning that all locals would get in at $59.

If it were just up to me, I don't have the energy for that particular fight, so I'd go for #2, knowing it's our last time having to make this arrangement.
