If the club has been there for many years, and now we're a contingency group
for the Fair, that's bad form on the part of the Fair. Should another
opportunity (or opportunities) occur for the club to run trains instead of at
the Fair, so be it. It's the Fair's loss in the long-term.
To paraphrase a line from a movie that's all the rage 30 years later, "Nobody
puts the RC3R in a corner".

Dexter,
As I read it, RC3R are the fall-back position for the Fair if the robotics
group does not accept. My guess is they won't be able to meet the insurance
requirements. As mentioned earlier, let them have a year without trains and see
how it goes.

What does Plan B entail, as far as our location at the Fair? Or does it
mean we would only participate
if the robotics group doesn't accept the Fair's invitation to participate?

If I said what I'm thinking, I would have to go to confession tomorrow.
I'm done with them.

I'm not going to miss this venue. After the downsizing, forced hike from the
parking lots which limits what we can bring to run, and restricted ticket
distribution I've lost all interest in the Fair. It's just a hassle anymore.
As far as being Plan B, if they do decide they want us back we need ask for
more, say $750 to $1000. If they don't want to, then we need to wish them
luck and walk away.

Ben called me today with an update on the Chesterfield County Fair for 2017.
The Fair is planning some changes for this year. The Fair has offered our
spot to a robotics group. The robotics group has a month to commit to the
fair. The RC3Rs are plan "B" for this year's Fair per their management.
If we do not participate, we will loose the $500.00 payment plus the raffle
money received from the event. The club is financially in good standing as a
reminder.
Certainly we will need to also reconsider our priority of expanding the
small layout in time for this year's Fair.
I believe we can find other places to share our passion of model trains with
the public and probably receive some type of donation at the same time.
What are your thoughts on participating in the Fair this year if given the
opportunity to do so ?
Let me know if you want to take a vote on participating in this year's Fair.
Thanks,
Bill
