The meeting wasn't in Stafford. It was in West Houston close to the Bellaire & Addicks Clodine intersection. We all know hams love food, but it shouldn't be the deciding factor if people are going to attend. I checked the BVARC Beacon and emails from the reflector and I saw no mention of food,

The menu for the May 11th meeting is on the BVARC web site. However this time you will need to RSVP if you would like to eat at the meeting. There will be more information on the web site for your RSVP in a few days.  MikeN5VCX  On Friday, April 14, 2023 at 09:10:42 PM CDT, Mike Knerr via BV

I think we need to have more notice of the menu, if that's possible. On Fri, Apr 14, 2023, 8:43 PM Eddie Runner via BVARC wrote: > so a member pays $25 a year and eats for free at each of the 12 > meetings, plus free eats at most of the POTAs, Free food at Field day > free food at Museum ships..

With over 330 members please don't think you are being singled out. You took the time to participate by zoom along with roughly 10% of the club including in-person attendees. Somehow, I do not think all the rest were playing bingo at the VFW. 73 de Scott KD5FBA On Fri, Apr 14, 2023, 6:09 PM Mont

I attended via zoom. Unless it's an emergency, I don't drive at night and it would have been unsafe for me to be crossing Houston at 10PM. I counted 18 last night that attended via the same format. It's not worth the risk to be on the freeways at night. Monty KI5JML On Fri, Apr 14, 2023 at 4:5

I think several things have caused low attendance at BVARC meetings. First and foremost was the lack of meetings during the covid. Second was the fact that the meeting place has changed quite a few times in the last few years. As people get older, we like consistency. Same time, same place. I am no
