UPDATE:
This is just to answer some of the questions from either PMs or in the club forums.
In cases where members wished to participate but did not have frags to include in the swap, the sponsoring club would then charge a fee. This being a non-sponsored event, the ‘buy in’ would be inappropriate.
From past experience, I know most prefer that participants should contribute frags, but I realize there instances where you’re not able to, because of a tank crash, for example. Perhaps, if we could get more opinions on this, it would help me decide. We could either require the contribution of frags, or maybe have a ‘prepaid buy in’ that would allow me to put together some raffle prizes.
There were some inquiries about swap rules or outline. I don’t really want to delve too much into that yet until we determine whether or not this swap will take place. As of this evening, I’ve only received 4 paid lunches, which is far short of the 50 minimum we need. Again, the restaurant has given me until this Thursday (Sept. 28th) to submit the deposit for the banquet hall. If we’re not close to the minimum by Thursday, I’ll need to cancel or postpone the swap and send refunds to everyone that did pay.
The planning committee has been me, myself, and I (fortunately, I get along great with myself). If we do get to the point where we know this is going to happen, I’ll reach out to those that have expressed interest in helping me out (which I greatly appreciate).
This is ‘our’ swap. I want this to be a wonderful experience for the grizzled, battle-scared swapper and the new, never knew what hit ‘em newbie. Keep the ideas and suggestions coming.
Regards,
Karl
