I'm going to keep the survey going for another few days. If you haven't completed the survey yet it should only take a couple of minutes and you'll find the survey here: [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]
The results so have been very useful and will definitely assist in the planning process as it it continues over the coming months.
Over all there's desire for an earlier start and finish - and we're working on that already. The ticket price information is really helpful in letting us estimate a budget early on. That let's us lock in the clinic, location, time, food, etc. etc. - important stuff!
It looks like a swap meet is something folks want, so we'll definitely try to get that on the agenda. We discussed that for the last GTG but we felt we didn't have the time then. Time is on our side this time.
I think everyone found the AW clinic at the last GTG to be great. This time around there's a majority for more a performance orientated clinic, again useful info us and for the clinician!
The majority vote is for a more structured 'jam' at the end of the day with set songs to play. We have a 50:50 split between set songs and a backing band. We'll continue to work on that.
It looks like the early bird discount is popular. Here's a question for you, would it help if we did it in installments? Say half down at the start of April, half down at the end of May?
Finally, thanks for all the comments. Some great feedback there. We are certainly trying to get more luthiers to come to the event and on that subject we hope to have some news in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!
Thanks again!
Dave
