Re: [VAL] WBCCI dues, etc. and running at large

["Tom" <thomm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

We are not quitting WBCCI - I said we'd become members at large and not 
members of our local unit.  We do plan to become associate members of other 
units as I've also posted.

I am sure that the club could have provided 3-amp service areas in the same 
field as the 30-amp service was provided.

I'm not saying that the 3-amp and 30-amp would ever be provided side-by-side 
in rows of trailers.  What I was trying to say is that we should not be 
segregated into different fields with only the amount of available 
electricity as the difference between the two areas.

IF they had the 30-amp people in one area and 3-amp people in another area 
of the SAME field we wouldn't have been segregated.  True enough?

I find it hard to believe that there couldn't be rows of 30-amp hookups and 
rows of 3-amp hookups in the same fields.  Others feel the same as I've 
said.

In fact, it would be really great if those others who stayed in RV parks 
joined the masses in the field/s as it happened this year.  I can only 
imagine that some felt they saved money by paying an RV park fees but they 
also gave up the "right" to the seminars where you had to 'prove' that you 
paid the full registration cost with your ribbon. ;)

I may be naive, but I thought that *one* of the purposes of the Int'l rally 
was to meet and greet old friends and make new ones at the same time.  If 
the real pupose is to just have a convention and a bunch of meetings by the 
leaders - well, they can do that during the year instead of at our annual 
'party' of sorts. ;)  I think so anyway.
