Not trying to be Debbie Downer, but according to the ticket tracker, there are still a lot of tickets that need to be sold for the banquet to actually get funded and happen?
If it doesnt happen, first off let me say that stinks for any award winner and second off, let me make a suggestion.
As long as it's taken to formalize our 2020 schedule to date(know it was waiting this past weekends discussion) im sure theres no possibility to add a "awards ceremony" to it any dates to come. BUT, moving forward, can we not just have an awards ceremony on Sunday of the last race weekend? Can we not figure out how to either eliminate practice and race on Friday, or certainly abbreviate it, so we can have all day or some of the day that last Sunday? We have the entire weekend rented anyway! I know there might be some not scheduled to race that last weekend, or some may be lucky enough to wrap an award up prior to, but at least the date was know to you at years beginning. Plus, I believe it would potentially decrease cost to club, and dramatically increase participation.
I like to dress up too...but that's between my wife and I...but I'm sure you would be allowed to dress up if you want to...just like now. I also get that we are at a track and it's not as nice, we could be relegated to an outside venue, tables/chairs, food,etc......but those are variables we could control. IF this years banquet misses its ticket sales goals and is canceled, I expect my elected board to look at alternatives. Maybe not the one I suggested, but I brought and idea along w my complaint.
