I don't know if there is a checklist or not, but I was with the board when they were touring the Ogden site in April and I know that they were actively discussing all the points I've read on the list - from the location and layout for each venue, to location of stalls and RV parking, and convenience to the airport and restaurants. I'm sure when they tour the Longmont, CO site next month, they will be just as active in looking for the same things. The other site they're considering is Albany, and there is an advantage of already having had recent experience with that location. Every site is going to have some big advantages and disadvantages over any other site it's compared to. I'm sure the board will discuss all three sites in context and will make an educated decision. All three fairgrounds are good locations and I trust the board to consider the needs of the membership when they vote.

Replies have ranged from there is no checklist, to there is a checklist that the Board does not pay attention to, to there is an informal checklist. So clearly some confusion or miunderstanding on this point. Assuming this is an accurate cross-section of opinion on the subject. Fine No Worries! Let's move forward!!! Let's accentuate the postive here!!!!! NOT ONE PERSON THAT HAS REPLIED WITH THIS CROSS SECTION OF OPINIONS HAS SAID THIS IS A BAD IDEA. Hurray! i think we might have some consensus as to the concept atleast, whip me if i'm getting ahead of myself here. So if we assume this is an idea that we all think can be productive, let's make it a rallying cry for us to unite upon rather than a divisive element. Can we do this? Who on the present Board will pick this up and carry it to the very end, whatever that might be as a postive step in the right direction. Any takers???? Yo! Board Members in running Debbie H, Gary,Lew,Evan, Ed Hill, Kris, Jerry G.(if you are lurking) and anyone else i've missed who's running or any current Board Members , can you guys pick this up or not!!! Who'll step up and make this a mission for the Board??? Membership: Do you want to insist that this should be done!! or is it a crazy lame brain idea??? Thoughts????? I think your Board Members current and future would like your thoughts!!! One suggestion, let's talk about process and not personalities in this discussion so we can make this productive. respectfully, Bill ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2005.
