My wife Cindy told me the same thing when we got home about passing down two sides for food. It would be nice to try and make something like that work.
Raffle table - It may just be me but did non-members get to draw off the table? I only ask because I was told last year that my wife could not set someting and enter the raffle because she was not "officially" a BYC member as I am. We had no problem with that. I think only BYC members, with screen names, should enter the raffle. That's part of the reason we are members. Also, there should be a reasonable limit on items. One item per person and try and keep a value between 5 and 10 dollars. I know some people don't have alot but I think that's reasonable. It's no different from Christmas swaps.
I liked the way Silly set up the task planning ahead. I signed up a year before as photag. Do the same thing and remind people through the year to volunteer.
Food was on par with years before. The food sign-up was good and should let people know who's bringing what. Towards the final push the food guru can remind people what is missing if it's really needed. Like, "Hey - nobody's bringing any meat" LOL! I would have brought burgers if I knew. we'll leave the smoked chicken to OPA though, it's great!
Seminars are a good idea. I do believe a loose agenda should be followed. Maybe a thread on that and other events with times? If you miss it oh well, ha ha. It's such a samll area I'm sure nobody will miss the food line or swap (unless they leave).
Try to encourage more members to come. It seems like a few that were there last year were MIA. I know - it's the busy season!
Should we nominate, and vote, on who will be 2014's Queen Hen and King Rooster? Just kidding.
No matter what it was a great time. Great people, great food, and lots to do in a short time.
