Whats the goal here? none of your 4 survey questions will help the banquet. 1) restaurant or catered.. IMO this is irrelevant, we have had good and bad restaurants and good and bad caterers.. 2) What type of food would we like? IMO this is not worded to get a reasonable response.. Chineese? Hot dogs? Steak? Niko Nikos?? IMO the date gathered from this question really wont help us. 3) What day of the week? Com on no one will ever agree on this ... WHY ASK??? 4) What price range? This is a better question, but it should be worded something like As a BVARC member what price per person do you think is appropriate for a nice dinner and a nice meeting place? (this will get a variety of prices), so the club can choose .. With the way you worded it I would be inclined to just choose the lowest number... This rewording is more like how much would you pay MAX... then it would be easier for BVARC to choose a better value for the member since the banquet is (traditionally) partially subsidized by the club for club members... Means club member is getting a good deal... As is $35 a person, geez I can eat all the catfish I can stuff in for less than $15 at many places.. Unless we are doing something very elegant, the prices this year and last year are WAY TOO MUCH.. its supposed to be partially subsidized by the club for club members And $50 for non members?? A guy can get in and out of some of the fanciest restaurants .. you can get a pretty good rib eye for $50... not catfish and dry chicken.. this is the opinion of Eddie Runner BVARC Life Member NU5K ps: think about the results that make a difference before carefully choosing questions for a survey..

So at this time the banquet on the 18th is cancelled. For those members that paid via PayPal, their money will be refunded. Those that paid by check, the check will be mailed back to you. If you have not received your refund by the end of January, please send me an e-mail at n5...@att.net It is unfortunate about the cancellation but the banquet is not going away. Over the next few days a survey will be e-mailed to all members to see just what everyone would like to do for an awards banquet. The survey will only a few questions: 1. Would you like to have the banquet at a restaurant or have it catered? 2. What type of food would you like to have? 3. What day of the week would you like the banquet held? 4. What kind of price range would be acceptable for you for the banquet - $15 to $20, $20 to $25, $25 to $30 or $30 to $35? Hopefully we can get enough responses in over the next few weeks so a new banquet can be held sometime in the last half of March. When you get the survey, please consider your answers carefully and constructively.
