[BARC-List] FD planning meeting?

Sat, 01 May 2004 21:24:19 -0400

>From what I understand, Paul announced this meeting at the April Business Meeting as well.

If there is to be a Field Day event there has to be a LOT more involvement of club members.

All too often all of the work falls on a few shoulders and this has to stop.  Some of the more prominent players at past Field Day events are unavailable to participate this year.  Is this becasue they've done a lot of work and watched people show up and bitch about the way things are set up?  Who knows.

I intend to discuss this at next week's business meeting.  I would strongly suggest that those interested in having a part in Field Day show up for this meeting and get involved.  Without a significant increase in people (BARC Members) willing to chip in and do some work for this year's Field Day, it may not happen.  That would be a shame and an embarrassment for BARC.

Thanks.
