We have seen quite a few members drop out of this fun event because of the Mother's Day date (May 11/12). The whole purpose for this event was to get as many SFBC Members from all over the places together for a big fun show and to raise some funds for good causes. If only few show then what is the point? Because most expressed concerns about the picked Mother's Day date, I want to throw out an idea here: The famous and well popular JDF Derby on Father's Day weekend is a NO GO. Who of you would participate in the SFBC Banana Challenge if it was moved to Father's Day weekend June 15/16? The organizers are prepared to go through the pain of reorganizing everything for the new date IF many more committed to join the event then.
Please gives us your feedback either here, or on the sticky thread "SFBC Banana Challenge" or send me a PM.
To clarify, the Pub Night at the Herman's Jazz Club would still go ahead on Sat May 11, it is already booked and deposits are made. I encourage you to come out for this and bring your spouses, wifes, moms or whatever along. It should be a lot of fun! Great opportunity to meet forum members in person in a fun atmosphere - not one of those depressing fishery politics meetings when we discuss more restrictions!
And I want to reemphasize that the Mother's Day date was not the organizer's idea and first choice but was rather dictated on us by others inconsiderately snatching our original date (April 20/21) after we had already made plans for this date.
Who would be in June 15/16???
