I asked my XYL if the Repeater-Builder group would qualify for one of Hamvention's reduced-price Club spaces?? ($100 for 4 spaces)
My kids will be old enough next year to allow for my wife and I to tend some tables. If we do get a few club spaces, we can all have a central location to meet other board members, plus sell a few items on the "club" table without having to pay $70 per space!!! As we have done in the past, we can bring our canopy that will cover 3 spaces, so we would have shelter. I already have a banner that says Repeater-Builder on it. We'll just need to be sure to make it look like a club booth and not a commercial tailgating spot. We have tried the dinner thing in the past with not real good results, but maybe a meeting tent would be a good idea. I will try to get 4 club spaces next year and see how that goes. I will let everyone know how I make out early next spring. Comments?
