A group of homebuilders I belong to has outgrown using a Camp Scholler campsite as a venue for a cookout one evening during the convention. Fellow who organizes out cookout approached EAA management to try to locate a place where the group could gather outdoors and share their evening together. Nothing was offered, I inferred, unless we wanted to pay what sounds to me like exhibitor rates. So members, the folks for whom the convention exists and is organized, says management, are foreclosed from doing their group bonding/storytelling unless they pony up? It's a mite disillusioning. Lots of puffing from the castle about how important the members are. Really?
