Two final points. First, Dan indicated that the Eastern Division's principal concern is attracting more members of the public to the York Meets and then converting them to become members, as the membership in the TCA ages and continues to decline, and will not be replenished from within. They figure that the best way to get the public there is on the weekends. Second, the Eastern Division recognizes that they have to advertise the Meets better than they have in the past, and in that regard they will be working with the Worlds Greatest Hobby Show principals to develop a marketing plan. This is very encouraging, as the Eastern Division has been unwilling to engage in such efforts in the past.  

If attracting the public truly is the goal, then Saturday should be a full day (9-5) for the dealer halls.  These are already open to the public, dealers are paying their employees, etc. - that should be used to full advantage.  Advertising to the public is also less than adequate. 

I am glad to see the Eastern Division addressing these issues.  I love going to York and will continue to attend regardless of format.
