Awards Night

Accommodate having Ken and Sarah so plan for March. There would be less winter driving, and it could also become a season kickoff. Also, the attenders could ride locally.

March date would lose the Bike Show weekend tradition, but we could still have a booth.

Holidays are booking all available spots during Dec-Jan also more expensive to book.

Sky Helicopters seems like a good option but would be a lot of extra work to coordinate set up food and take down. An all-inclusive venue takes care of those details.

Not a ton of accommodations around for Sky Helicopters.

Emails circulated last week to Vote on venue. The Clarion is the decided location. Based on price and ease of logistical planning. Christine to book and review details in next meeting.
