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

[Erik Olson <erik@thekrib.com>]

I'm a little confused by your reply, please clarify.

You're saying you think we should drop the late fee entirely -- but do you 
mean online reg late fee after October 12, or walk-in fee?

What about the idea of charging an extra $20 for walk-ins but dropping the 
membership requirement on the walk-ins?  i.e., it's basically the same 
deal, but it doesn't look like it from the walk-in's perspective.
