<VV> HERE'S HOW TO FIX CORSA

[gswiatowy at rochester.rr.com]

I have never, at least at the conventions I have attended ever seen guards
at the door of the hospitality room restricting non-registered people from
coming in.
Yeah, you are supposed to be registered. But more than anything else, I am
sure it is a manpower issue. One more worker tied up to play guard duty. Or
more if there are multiple enterances.
And in the case of the Buffalo convention hospitality area, it was in the
same huge room as the indoor vendors, and if memory serves, there were at
least 6 entry areas.

Bing! Bing! Bing! Bing!

You just rang my bell.

At National (and hopefully Regional) conventions - You must first be a
CORSA 
member in order to be eligible to register for the convention.  ID badges 
are given out - with your name, and sometimes "local" club affiliation.

Some of the "indoor" vendors offer a discount to CORSA members.  The 
hospitality (aka - jokingly, hostility) room is for CORSA members only. 
Why 
do we allow non-CORSA members access to the indoor vendors and/or to the 
hospitality room?  Actually, I think you need to pay the convention 
registration AND wear your convention tag to get in there.

Perhaps the CORSA "tent" - whatever the heck the thing is called - should
be 
located at the entrance to either the hospitality or the indoor vendor
room. 
Sometimes they are the same room - depending upon the layout of the 
particular host hotel facility.  So - the pitch is, "Yessir/mam, we'd love 
to have you join us as a club member in this room, and do you realize that 
if you sign up for a membership right now, you will get money off at the 
vendors?

My second membership/revenue idea this week.  The first was only revenue 
oriented - but did not draw a single comment.  Maybe we were too busy 
answering tech questions?  I don't THINK so.

Later, JR
