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

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

Got it; we don't want to disuade or surprise the locals from these other clubs.

I don't have a problem not charging extra and I don't even have a problem, in 
general, not requiring membership. Both will tend to reduce attendance some 
marginal amount and there isn't any clear boost in membership when we have the 
requirement -- membership hangs in there around 700-800, convention or no. 

As we've previously discussed, since we have been requiring membership for this 
convention, we can stop now. And since all regs have to be members, I don't see 
how treating some of them diff is fair. Imo, either everyone that is late (past 
the yet to be established cutoff date) is charged a late fee or no one is. 


We haven't had a late charge posted - we could just skip it this year -- or we 
could post it now and hope two or three weeks was enough for folks not to be 
unreasonably surprised.


I say forget the late charge -- it's too late, too complicated and we're hoping 
everyone avoids it anyhow.

My concern is that this convention will have a higher ratio of walk-ins 
from neighboring clubs than previous years.  I don't have THAT good a 
connection with these clubs.  So far, they're all probably thinking they 
can just walk in based on the info that has been relayed.

This is different from the SFBAAPS guys who have been TOLD about (and 
groused about) the requirements since day 1.

What about if we raise it by $20 for walk-ins off the street and $10 for 
walk-in AGA members?

This is different from the auction and other stuff, because we have not 
published ANYTHING about walk-in rates.  I'm also a little queasy about 
raising the rates spontaneously on the site on the 12th, because again, no 
warning.
