[NoVa-Corvairs] Action Needed - Electronic Vote for Vair Fair Location by Monday 07 August

[Darrin Hartzler]

Gents,

The set-up sounds great.   In reading the feedback on the national, it 
seems that the hotel did not have everything in one place and many were 
miffed....why not go with the $99 room rate (including full breakfast 
which will doubtlessly excite the frugal a bit) and give the rest a map to 
the nearest motel 6?    Meeting rooms are likely somewhat negotiable as 
perhaps the banquet room fee may be.

I am around this weekend as well if you decide to get together and crunch 
the numbers.

Ron, thanks for doing the legwork.  I did a quick check of events on 
the CORSA calendar, and the hotel costs range from $45 to $85, so I 
have some concern there.  It's a nice hotel, but we may be priced a 
little too high.  There are, however, several pluses to this place - 
the free breakfast, dedicated lot, etc.  I don't know that it adds up 
to a significantly better event than we had at Manassas - there is 
something to be said for the hotel being the backdrop and once you're 
above a certain point it doesn't matter enough.

I think my bottom line is no with this pricing - if we can get them to 
move down somewhat in a few areas then I would change my mind.

Room rate - $89
Hospitality/Meeting room - right now it's $1700 for both.  I'd like to 
see < $1000.
Banquet - $54 for two is too much.  If they have a decent buffet option 
for under $20/person that might work.

We should review the numbers from the previous events to see how many 
registrants we're looking at.

Curt's point is well taken that we have some money in the bank so we 
can be a bit flexible given that several folks want to have the Vair 
Fair "somewhere besides Manassas".
