although it hasn't been 100% clear to me who they're trying to satisfy with these changes -- their own needs or somebody elses.
It has been stated that the Eastern Division has been loosing money on the past few shows, and that they are looking to increase attendance so the show makes expenses, and to satisfy the big dealers who want an open show.
I think they should have raised prices for admission and for member tables. When compared to public shows in my area, the York show is way underpriced. (Don't know anything about dealer space pricing)
As an aside, I recently went to visit the web site of one of my favorite suppliers, Miniature Lamp Works. Jill has posted that she will no longer be attending the York show, but her internet business will continue.
