RE: Convention St. Louis Memorial Day Weekend 2002
Hi Russ,
I still feel that a list of fish to be auctioned in their correct order will
add more organization to the event. I also think it would bring in more
money as the most likely bidders will not be outside buying their coffee
when their fish comes up. It will also bring in more money to the
hospitality table as people could make more purchases there when fish they
do not want are being auctioned.
But you are still not convinced that fish bags can be put into some order to
be sold. OK, I did say that it might take a little more work to put the fish
into numbered boxes rather than into one big pile.
But if you really want to save work, let the purchasers bag their own fish.
I for one can do it as can most likely everyone else who attends this kind
of convention. The truly handicapped will no doubt have little trouble
getting someone with the requisite skill to assist them.
This will leave plenty of time for the volunteers to hand out the list of
fish to be auctioned and get more sleep.
Some of you are going to comment that this will cause more disorder. True!
No doubt! I have noticed a long time ago that it seems to take more work to
achieve a greater level of order and customer service. I am not debating
that point.
I just claimed that printing a list was doable without additional heroic
effort, I did not say that it was going to make the convention easier.
Letting the Purchasers bag their own fish will make things easier but a
little less orderly. It was just a suggestion. Nothing more.
Peace,
~RJ~

You're dreaming!!! Having been involved in the VOLUNTEER effort to pull off
a convention, you are bagging 500-600 (don't forget the NRS fish) pairs of
fish on Sunday morning and then moving the whole lot, and a large lot of
bags
it is, to the auction room all before 11 or 12 for the auction to begin. If
you are volunteering, I'm sure Joe would be willing to put someone in charge
of organizing that many bags of fish so they can follow some pre-ordaned
auction order that some other volunteer has managed to generate, copy and
distribute to the attendees. I remember in '93 that by the time the auction
rolled around, I hadn't slept for days and was absolutely out of my mind
with
exhaustion and we still had to clean up, finish up the businees with the
hotel and then go to my house for a barbeque for 90 people!
