Re: [AGA-sc] proposal for walk-in rate

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

In the past, we have had a cutoof date, after which the reg fee was $10 higher 
and one still had to be an AGA member. I'd suggest a cutoof date of either Oct 
12, the last day to get the Hotel room rate and about 1 month before the 
convention or, if that seems too soon, then Oct 20 which is 3 week before.

If any of teh SF folks don't like paying the tax,  phllllllllbbtttt.

The deadline is Oct 12 for getting the special Convention room rate!

Subject: [AGA-sc] proposal for walk-in rate


Apparently (according to my virtual mole) there was some kind of question 
about people joining SFBAAPS since May having to pay the AGA membership 
"tax" for convention reg, and Jim's response was since the convention 
didn't seem to be breaking even, we should consider changing that rule.

Got me thinking that we should really have our walk-in rate worked out 
before the convention.  I know I haven't put anything on the site about 
it, but that's because I didn't really know what it was.

I was thinking we should have something that doesn't penalize anyone 
who signed up earlier, especially those who bought AGA memberships.  But 
at the same time, I want it to pre-deflect the litany of complaints from 
locals who didn't know anything about joining AGA when they show up.

I figure it would be a reasonable expectation that walk-ins pay a bit more 
than pre-reg, even if we didn't advertise it thus far.

So what if we advertise "$69 Walk-in registration" but if they're a 
paid-up AGA member, discount it to $59?
