I hear you. That was a subject at the last planning meeting and
probably will be again. Right now everybody pays the entry fee,
Chairman and pukes like me included.
The practical issues are (1) how to deal with the guy who
"volunteers" and then hides out all weekend and (2) how to be fair to
someone like yourself who works all weekend (BTW, thank you) vs a guy
who works 2 hours (example: aircraft parking). We have kicked around a
system that refunds gate money when you show a chit signed by the
volunteer chairman in your area, perhaps at a buck for each hour
worked.
Sheer bad luck has handed us several years of poor weather weekends
(sometimes just the all-important Saturday morning arrival time slot),
so the budget is REALLY tight. In a perfect world everyone would
consider their $6 entry to be a donation, but hey, I understand.
