I think all of understand re the auction and thats fine . people are taking a risk and covering costs of hall hire and advertising so fine they have to have a auction
I hope that oneday the $5.00 fee and stalls will oneday cover this , but its still upto the people runing it to make money . they cant be expected to do it for free
as for the pins being sold outside yes most of us heard this and I was asked to be involved in that I declinded ( i still have the emails to prove it) i was later told it was a joke and never going to happen and it didnt.
I dont want a shit fight or to start one .
bring on the expo/auction . go if you want to . stay for the auction at the end or leave before it , its upto you . make your own minds up.
treat it like a AP meet go have a few games and catch up with other members .
as for moving it to melbourne or brisbane I cant see it , as why would those guys bring the pins to melbourne or brisbane to have a auction ??
once the expo can stand alone then maybe but still its those guys that have risked it to start it so shouldnt they have the right to decide ? to have a expo and auction
I would hope more commericals go , but sorry cant see it if the same as last year . I am sure we might go for the expo day and have a look , but we are open to discuss anything. ( I am not trying to sabotage it ) as i said treat it as a meet
