MessageWhat the Regina sector is doing is making an original booking of 50
rooms (am I correct with the number Ian?), which we can pare back later once
we know numbers. I think, though, that we will need a commitment by the
beginning of the new year, on the number of rooms we need to hold. The 5 to
9 rooms seems light, unless we really drop the ball on promotion. We might
be optimistic here at 50, but say we get half that number which shouldn't be
too hard even if we press only the locals - and we're pretty sparse on the
ground up here - so I would hope that 5 to 10 times the number you indicated
might be a good "target". Keep in mind this higher target means some active
promotion is involved.
Have some of you other guys thought of some numbers for your sectors?

This is indeed a good thing for us. Unfortunately it only brings to the
forefront once again, that we do not know how many participants are actually
going to be in any given Sector. It makes it rather hard to commit to
anything as far as reserving anything.
How shall we handle this? Pick a "reasonable" number and go with it? At
this time we only have 2 people from AZ signed up and pulling from several
surrounding states I've come up with 14 other possibilities from the
participant's listing. Do we go with committing to a group of say 5 or 9
rooms required? Or do we go for all 14 or maybe 20 and hope that last
minute folks, which haven't even signed up, will show up and fill the rooms?
I need some discussion and feedback in short order so we can set a direction
on this. I do not want all of Dick's work to go for naught.
As an aside? Hazel, there is only one person signed up from San Diego at
this time. I know it's a bad time right now, but please keep this in the
back of your mind that we need folks wishing to partake in the Tour to
register. This information is only used internally to help all of us make
appropriate plans for the event.
Thanks all, please get busy with your thoughts on the AZ overnight stay
commitment for room reservation expectations. Mind you, we at JONAT are NOT
actually making the reservations. But we do need to give Julie and Waylund
some idea I'm sure.
