My comment about Golden Coral was meant to be tongue in cheek and not a serious location idea.
Its also my understanding that there is a sizable new population of club members over the last year or so (me included due to geographic relocation). And with the possibility that some of the older/aging population not being able to get out at night, maybe the lower turn out may be from lack of knowledge of the event from a core of the membership population who havent been to one of the banquets before. Maybe there was a write up that I missed, and if so, apologies in advance for my ignorance. But if not, maybe overall assumptions are there because its an annual event that everyone knows about. What is the banquet, what is the dress, what can one expect to see there? Are there options for people who want to attend but are not eating? How long does it run into the night? For those planning to eat, what is the full menu items? And back to the aging members, Are there options for people with dietary restrictions? Maybe these type of things in a FAQ would be helpful to socialize the event and make sure that all members are on the same page. Just dropping my $0.02 of helpful feedback. 73/Chris/AC5CM Typos brought to you by iPhone On Jan 11, 2024, at 08:50, Mike Hardwick <n5...@att.net> wrote: It is a great place for a meal but the Rosenberg location has been known for a not very clean facility. I checked for another location and the South Loop is currently closed. I will put it down on the list though. Thanks for the input.

Go to any hamfest anywhere and youll find hams packing the Golden Coral. Super cheap and super bland. Thats all ya need right? But plan accordingly because the Eating Club usually shows up at about 2pm. 73/Chris/AC5CM Typos brought to you by iPhone On Jan 10, 2024, at 20:35, Mike Knerr via BVARC <bvarc@bvarc.org> wrote: Maybe we should make a list of places that could fit our needs.

I got my lunch at Cleburne Cafeteria. I was not able to finish the meal. It's enough to feed two. That's what I think a banquet should look like if we are going to give $35 for members and $50 for non members to eat.
