I had a few ideas about increasing the scope of the fests, and remember
discussing some of the points at Tony's house with a few of you.
If we were to get larger premises we could do several things:
A Kids area/creche
Meeting point for our wives (This could be a REALLY BAD, BAD idea
Run over a whole weekend
Have closed sessions for ourselves, but sell tickets for admission to the
public to see old models and to buy from those who wish to sell.
This will obviously mean a greater financial input from the people attending,
if only for B&B fees, and put a greater onus on the organiser, to the extent
that I would suggest a small committee (2 or 3 would do)to share the load.
If my local area is anything to go by, there are a lot of non-online AFOL's
who would attend if they knew it was on.
Anyway that's my groat's worth
Cheers
