Reaction: 1) in Canada there are two "l"s in "travelling", so it was correct.
2) What exactly are the registrants paying for???? this may seem late in the game to be asking, but It has just occurred to me that if we eliminated the fee and just registered electronically, things would be SO much simpler. We could then get on to the real business: there would be a list of registrants generated; the SC's will have the dates and routes finalized; any "handouts"m would be prepared for each sector; we simply wait for people to arrive in our sectors so that we can DRIVE.
Isn't that what the tour is about? In the last few weeks there seems to have been an inertia developing (despite the very valiant efforts of Bob and Fazal and a few others); I am afraid that if we do not MOVE on this, the whole thing will get mired in mud.

My thoughts on your feedback (and thanks very much for testing it out ! :
"One question, do the SCs and ASCs get a free pass?" - I think this is a good idea provided it works budget wise. For all the effort you are all putting in, seems link a very cheap reimbursement.
"Very minor: Only 1 "l" in traveling (at least in the US)." - as I've said before, guid speln an litrarie talint aint a priem reckwizit !
"Way more important: IMO, skip the sector fee part. It seems that at
least half of us won't be collecting them. That is going to make it
really confusing for people to try to calculate what they owe. If some
SCs are going to collect fees in exchange for some local goodies, then
the money should exchange hands when the goodies are passed out, at the
beginning of the sector. Each of us should have that information
prominently available on the website along with the "almost-must-do"
items on our sectors."
I think we are coming around to "No Sector Fee" as I have not heard any objections to this yet, so all and any costs at the Sector level would have to be covered by donation, except for user pay events.
And you have some great thoughts on making the user pay sector items as visible as possible. I'll start working on this shortly.
