I like flyer 1. It would be better to have prices etc on the flyer if we can nail that down soon.

The pricing won't be determined until the BOD meeting that is happening at the cfm.

 

[Coral reefer]

We could decide right now. What do people think? I don't go to any other swaps...$20 pre register?

Is that a BAR Member price?

 

[sfsuphysics]

Look at historical pricing (find those old posts), and then figure out a cost to the club.

I think it's been something like $10 pre-register for "local" clubs (BAR, NVR, CVR, etc), $15 day of for event, $20 for no club affiliation.

 

[Coral reefer]

If I had to put a price on a flyer right. Ow I'd say $20. We can certainly decide to offer special pricing at the cfm tomorrow and or for club members/pre registration.

 

[sfsuphysics]

You're the president, you can do whatever you want

But historically there's been lower prices for pre-registering and/or club affiliation.

It's probably just me being a cheapass but $20 seems like a rather steep entry fee unless there are extras that make it worth it, i.e. lunch included, a goody bag with various things in it. If you don't get many people coming, it's something that can backfire in a hurry.

I never heard back from Your Reef ( Im guessing someone else has ). Also Mike ( Fish Doc ) has said yes to being a vendor

I think keeping it cheaper will bring more out.

 

[Coral reefer]

So two votes by people that won't be at the meeting for charging...how much exactly? Not talking shit, appreciate the input. Just make it count. How much?

 

[Flagg37]

Last year was $15 for pre registering and you got 5 raffle tickets. Then it was also $15 at the door for supporting members but no raffle tickets and $20 for non members.

 

[tankguy]

Agree with john

@Flagg37 Reef Kingdom from Utah expressed interest in being a vendor at the swap while we were at the coral farmers market today.

Thanks. @Corallus, can you check them out and see if they would be a good fit to add to our sponsors?

 

[sfsuphysics]

They do know what our swaps are like right? Where people happily (or not so happily) give away corals to be picked by everyone for free, maybe they're confused with how frag swaps work in many other places where it's literally like a swap meet in that corals get traded for money. Would suck to have them call all the way out from Utah only to be disappointed in the vast majority of people not buying corals.
