[PVRCNC] March meeting

[Jim K4QPL]

Thanks for the input, Guy. Missed you, but you picked a good night to be 
away HI. Maybe we should discuss if a change of day would generally help our 
attendance or cause other conflicts. This is the only time we've had a 
problem with Manchester's and if it is unlikely to repeat we should be OK as 
far as that is concerned.

73,

Jim

One of the things that makes the crowding come up is that Thursday is the 
end of the week where there are more customers, parties, etc.

Monday is so bad for restaurants that many close. Tuesday is only a little 
better. Wednesday picks up nicely. Thursday is decent. Fri and Sat are the 
killer max-out nights. Sunday is decent for most places, though the crowds 
are earlier on Sunday.

One of the things we could do to improve our experience almost anywhere is 
move to Tuesday evening. If I recall correctly, NCWest has theirs on Monday, 
and pretty much own the tavern where they meet, and the owner is happy about 
it. E.g. a Monday night with a decent number of customers.

Again, regrets to all for the unacceptable arrangements at Manchester's last 
night. Having the very nice private room for our meetings always made up for 
any other shortfalls. But last night, having to put up with the smoke and 
the noise in the general bar area wasn't fun for anyone. I let the owner 
know in no uncertain terms that although we had previously agreed if he had 
a large private party we would yield the room (in exchange for getting it 
free the rest of the year), the fact that we had no advance notice was the 
major problem. David apologized to everyone and has promised it won't happen 
again.

We do have some good nearby alternatives available on short notice and if 
this happens again we'll be ready.

73,

Jim, K4QPL
