You want to see a group promoting the hobby go to the Worlds Greatest Hobby on Tour Show. The number of admissions blows away the York attendance numbers and you will see families, young children and the general public who want to know more about the hobby. Television news programs have reported on the event, its broadcast on radio, on billboards and its not a secretive exclusionary event like York. When York is for everyone I would say that's doing the job of promoting the hobby? ...
Dennis, while I agree the mission to promote the hobby is a noble one indeed, I think York and the TCA in general can do that WITHOUT becoming another WGHTS. Nor does York need to be another Greenberg Show. Were either of those directions to occur, I suspect York would lose its uniqueness and many of us here would no longer attend.
Surely there is a middle-of-the-road approach that would work. All that needs to happen is for York to regain financial stability and grow with the times. Nobody needs it to be anything more -- nor anything less.
