[Accrs] Good Guys and the Fair

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

All,

I received a couple e-mails from Candice at the Fair office today.  The 
subjects were the Good Guys show and Fair passes.

_First the Good Guys show the weekend after next._  She is pretty sure 
we will be able to open, but wants to confirm that visitors will be able 
to exit the back door and turn left.  Also, to quote her,

> Concerns have been expressed with having folks on grounds the Friday 
> before the event.  Vendors are setting up and there are a lot of items 
> out on grounds.  Many of the participants do not want anyone on 
> grounds after the vendors have started set up.  Can you reschedule or 
> skip your regularly scheduled Friday night meetings on the Friday 
> before GG shows to help alleviate these concerns? 
After telling her that is when we do our final clean up and set up, I 
suggested we might be able to do that on Thursday night.  That should 
work for most of us.  If not, there's always Wednesday.  She hasn't 
answered the question of how we get into the show.  Hopefully that will 
come with her confirmation that we can be open.  In the meantime, we 
should get the sign up sheets posted this Friday.

_On the subject of badges vs passes for the Fair, I quote her:_

> I have been asked to obtain a schedule for the Train Club.  We need to 
> know how many members will be working and how many days each of those 
> members will be working.  That info is needed to make the badge vs. 
> ticket decision.
She later added that it could be a combination of badges and passes with 
those working 10 or more shifts getting the badges. So, the scales need 
to get their sign up sheets posted and membership needs to sign up as 
early as possible.  We really need everyone to do their part.  The fair 
left this to the last minute, which makes this difficult.  The Fair 
starts on Friday the 14th. It would be good to pass out the 
badges/passes on the previous Friday, the 7th.  To do that, we will need 
our numbers by the previous Friday, May 31.  There has been a lot of 
effort expended by folks to improve our "act" this year.  Let's not drop 
the ball at fair time.  Thanks.

Gary
