I think the competition is good for club members. I also think both LFS in Poulsbo do support each other when club meetings take place. Mario lost a lot of money when he did raffle. I am hoping Eric does not lose money. I am hoping we can shut our eyes to them bickering if they do. If we say anything we will probably lose both of them. I think we could use them as sponsors and will put my best foot forward to show them both support equally. I am hoping we can discuss this at meeting.
 
I think that that type of competition wrecks the footing for other sponsors. Many hobbyists will not spend any money till these meetings, and other sponsors suffer, as they cannot afford to give those discounts. It really takes out the future of the hobby, by removing the true LFS... Just my opinion, I'll be sure to keep shut while there, as always.

Josh,
I hope you do not keep quiet. We all need to be able to talk freely, without worry of someone getting upset.
You want me to pick you up in the morning for the meeting?
Ed:)
 
Ermm.. Don't think they can Mark...

Regular members cannot see that the BOD forum is there mark, it's only there because of the usergroup you are in. Go register another account and check. :D
 
But then with everyone in good spirits, its hard to be upset.

So I chose to act like it never happened and smile because of people like this .....Mark, your Awesome! Can I post this in Forum for everyone to see?
 
thumbs up for Tim at Barrier Reef

I really liked Seeing other Store owners show up at events also. Tim from Barrier Reef visited the Meeting like I hope other stores would. I could only hope other store owners were as suportive to all.:) I do not See Tim or Cy changing thier prices in the future, I do see a a few smart people (Tim and Cy)investing time into himself and a willingness to work together. I hope other Store owners learn from this.
 
Yeah I'm with you Ed. I thought it was great he spent two hours on a ferry to come to another store. If only all the sponsors could be so grown up.

Another thing Ed, I'd appreciate you forwarding Chuck's PM, as I think it is inappropriate for all the board members to not see it and not be on the same page. I appreciate and welcome input, and am very interested in what he has to say.

Additionally, I do want to proceed with setting up a board chat since we couldn't meet yesterday (I hate ferries) and we MUST iron out a couple things we have been talking about.

The show goes on folks and we will do what feels right for the club now.

Colleen
