GCCA swap 01/29/17

Yep, definitely missing some names from that vendor list. Are those guys not GCCA members and never had a chance at tables or skipping this one? Last time was the snow storm, time before that the Saturday disaster. The little room wasn't real cheery in December.

GCCA used to spend a little to promote their events didn't they? Sending out postcards, email reminders, etc? Facebook ads and event promotion are dirt cheap and actually work. Surely they have a little cash laying around for promotion?

...seen emails....never post cards, other stuff, yada yada...it doesn't need much promo...most folks know about it, or seek it....

...missing folks....yes, likely non members, and those come and go quite often...

..snow storm?....that one wasn't bad...and all the vendors will be in just one big room now....and as Bob said....6 foot tables

I just think a discount of $5.00 would have been a nice gesture.  It wouldn't even need to be permanent if they are going to stick with this venue.  $5.00 off this time with the knowledge that next time it will be full price.  I think most people were simply taken by surprise by this and I can't believe they did not know about the 6 foot tables when they signed on.  The club with the venue I mean, not the vendors.

Of course they sell out all the time so they don't really need to worry about nice gestures.  They sold out this time and most likely they will continue to sell out so what does it matter what a few disgruntled vendors say.  It means even less to them when those disgruntled vendors still pay the full price for a smaller table.

Good luck to All the vendors. I hope ya like it nice and cozy.

..yep, I'll be scoping out how well it works.....over crowding vendors isn't going to work well for me.....plenty of other swaps around now...

The names I mentioned are GCCA members. I guess they're skipping it.

Nice and cozy? More like tripping over each other.  Those four rows of 15 tables in the center will be 90 feet total length with no break for access.
