OK it isn't sanctioned by ARC and it isn't annual because we have never had one (to my knowledge), but I think a Swap Meet is a great idea.
I know I have a couple dozen items I would like to move. I am sure Mike has a small truck that he can load up with stuff. Several others seem to post pretty regular items as well as frags. I know everybody is into frag horse trading as well as walking around talking to everyone. So lets get this thing planned out.
Attendee parcipitation would be free and we could charge say $20-$30 for a table and individuals can split a table so us little guys don't have to come out of pocket much. We could probalby get a few of the local sponsers to come as well.
If we are modestly successful on this first time, these things tend to grow. Eventually these can be a nice revenue stream as larger swap meets can charge at the door and they are great for club recruitment as well.
Thoughts?
