[AIS] Raceweek emergency!

[David W. Crum]

Another thought would be to talk with Phil Johnson and see if we could use
the parking area on the side of the marina where the travel lift is located.
A couple of tents and plenty of space could work nicely..

Well, I don't know how to break this.

 

Bayfield Pavillion was given the wrong dates for raceweek and now is
unavailable for Thursday and Friday night. 

 

I was told the pavillion was booked so I didn't follow up on this and only
checked because I got nervous about it. It wouldn't have mattered anyway
since those dates were tied up over two months ago. I've reserved July 4 -
July 7 and 2005 (July 3-July 8) but that doesn't help us with the immediate
problem. 

 

Bayfield is really apologetic about it and want us to know that they REALLY
DO support raceweek. They documented that they were told to hold the
previous week (which they have been doing) and were supposed to get a
followup to confirm (which they haven't gotten). 

 

The immediate problem is coming up with a venue for either the entire week
or at the minimum for Thursday and Friday. We need to act on this soon. 

 

Here are potentials;

 

We can make Thursday the Pike's Bay event (in other words there is even more
urgency to make this one). This leaves us with needing a location for the
banquet. As I see it these are the options:

 

- Port Superior (Not the best)

- Morty's (too small probably)

- Bate's (also probably too small)

- A tent off Manypenny or park (liquor issues? We could save money and use
it for the entire week, rent/borrow a trailer to secure things)

- Apostle Islands Yacht Club (probably wouldn't go for it).

 

 

None of the options are optimal but it's what we are stuck with. 

 

If anyone else has an idea please let me know ASAP!!!!! We need to reserve a
spot IMMEDIATELY!!!!
