If the meet is going to require advertising , then there should be an assessment applied to every table in the dealer halls. I think $100.00 per table would be a good number to start with . That way , the bigger dealers or the manufacturers ( who are behind the request that it be opened up to the public ) would be paying their fair share towards the costs to really advertise this heavily. If some one dose not want to pay , then they can move into the members hall. Most of the big dealers and manufacturers already have a advertising budget built into their business model . If not ,they should . The E.D. already does a magnificent job with putting this meet together . You can not expect them to carry the entire load by themselves. Jim
