[MRCG] MRCG Meet 2022 Update (mark your calendars)

[Verne Anderson]

I am confused about the dates.  Maybe it is due to having issues at NCO Club renovations?

I would have thought Thursday 6th arrive afternoon with setup then and Friday setup/Presentations.
Sat - swap and wrap-up afternoon.  Depart afternoon Sat.  Similar to what we had in pass meets at SLO.
Also use of Mess Hall, Billeting and camping?

Base Passes needed for entrance - vehicle license & insurance required.

Personally having Catering done can be quite expensive as experienced when I was employed.

Personally pizza might be idea?  Who pays/cost?

Also I wonder how much funds are left from past swaps?  Biggest issue is people showing up for the swap and not contributing to cost for the event.  Won’t mention any names.

Anyway plenty of time to sort out event.
