[Killietalk] One AKAer if favor of a different time of year for the convention

Thanks Karl,

You hit the nail right on the head with that one.  I find that it is pretty 
selfish to go to shows around the globe, spending family earned money by 
myself.

Some of you are retired and it doesn't matter what time of year you go to 
shows, but I have a child in school and will not be able to shoot off to 
some distant location, even on a holiday weekend by myself.  It is just not 
right.

It would be nice to take a week and do some sight seeing in and around the 
convention area and then attend the convention and take the newly acquired 
fish home,

I have asked many, many times for a summer season AKA show without any 
success.  Maybe the next club would consider making a landmark decision to 
change the date to a non school time of year.  If this were held in a nice 
touristie spot I bet you would have a better attendance.  And an attendance 
by families instead of just individuals.

Family time is quality time.
