Why? Twice a year is a great thing, and why October? I know more who go in the spring than go in October. I grew up in that area, and weather wise April is normally better than October. I feel the way they have it now is actually the best. the only thing I might change is maybe longer hours for Saturday but that would have to be a test thing for a few shows to see if it drew enough to see if it made it worth it. I also say don't make it mandatory during the test period for sellers to stay past noon as it is now, until you see if it works. If it does then you can consider that.
The reason that I say to keep the October meet is that in the spring people are heading into summer and are not doing much with there trains, where as in October people are heading into the winter months and are starting to do stuff with their trains again. I also think that extending the hours on Saturday is a terrible idea. I went through the Orange hall on Saturday morning this last York just after the show opened and one dealer was about 90% packed up. So if the dealers are already doing that on Saturday that early, what good is extending the hours going to do? These are just the thoughts though of some 20 year old who wants to see York continue successfully.
