If it were not for old farts organizing events this way, you might have a lot more new people in the hobby. Amazing how nearsighted some people become as they age and lose their memory...

Thanks Geoff! The Nearfest committee spent an enormous amount of effort and angst to be able to provide for this spring's gathering, at all. With the expectation that they will be back to the normal schedule in the fall.

Juan,
</div>
<div style="font-family:Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;">
I wonder if you are aware of the reasons for this scheduling. Do you know the options that they have? Did you think of the problem that begat this solution?
</div>
<div style="font-family:Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;">
</div>
<div style="font-family:Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;">
"Pander to retirees" was not the reason. Not even close.
</div>
<div style="font-family:Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;">
</div>
<div style="font-family:Aptos, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12pt;color:#000000;">
Now that you have offered that absurd speculation, go find out the reasons, the problems they had to solve and share that here so we know you actually did what you should have done before. Hopefully you will learn something from this. What was your input last time regarding Near Fest? Do you remember?
