 Topic: Frag meeting & paid members
Posted: August 26 2005 at 9:06am |
|
I have been to several frag meeting and it is a mad house. Tons & tons of people who come for a 5.00 frag but never make it to the rest of the meetings or pay their membership fees. My suggestion is this, since you are getting some very nice peices from Walt Smith, could you have the nicer corals available for members only??? Seperate tables that only members can shop at?? Who knows, this might be a great way to get people to pay their membership dues....

Connie- that is a superb idea in my mind. I'll throw to the presidency. I'll bet we could at least take our two "best" corals and make them members only. However I think you are underestimating our number of members. Keep in mind we have sold 180 memberships but will only have 120 people at the meeting.

Speaking of which, can I get a membership card at the meeting? I paid my dues online, so I'm not sure how I'll get it.

I like that idea Connie, a serperate table! I guess Adam will make you go to the $5.00 frag table. Maybe you can show him your membership card at the door. We will check it for forgery!

People who pay their dues at the frag meeting should get some "special" frags. I hate to say it but the comment to have only member frags makes non-members (at least me ) change their mind about comming to the meetings. I took 12 hours off of work to finaly get to come to a meeting and now I dont know. I want to come to learn not just get great deals on stuff. After I pay for gas and my membership $65 +20 I probably wont have any money left to buy frags.I wanted to come to support the cclub. Is it not a fund raiser ??

Like Adam said, I don't think member only frags would make a difference. Nearly everyone who comes is a member or pays for membership. Frag prices for members are half the price on the bag so if someone is going to buy a few frags they are better off paying their membership fee and getting the frags for a better deal.

Scott-
I don't think you realize how many coral frags we have. We're talking hundreds of frags already bagged up. To take 20 frags from one nice coral and set them aside won't make a difference to the non members. But it may make a difference to a couple people (like Connie) who just want that one frag.

It's true... I think anyone who goes to the meeting, and buys anything will
end up becoming a member to take advantage of the savings.
I became a member at the last Fragment Festival.

Although I don't see reason to turn down membership money, so what the heck send a check to Mark whenever you want.

Since I've never been to one of these Frag Fest's, what kind of corals are there going to be? About how much are the frags going to go for? I'm just wondering so I know how much $$$ to bring.

For what it is worth, 1) I joined to support what I have already received from the message board; 2) I am really looking forward to the fragfest - it may well be the one meeting I schedule my travel around to make sure I can/will be there; 3) I think it ois a great idea to have "members only" deals or better yet a discount for members-say 20%; and last - for anybody who drives all the way from Evanston to the meeting - I'll put up $20 for your first frag.

Frags general start at $5.00 for members (non-member has historically paid double, this will probably remain the same). Some rare frags go for more.
