This thread has been started to create a new topic from a thread that was titled "100 year Anniversary" Below is the continuation of this discussion:
-----------------------------------------
"Regional Meets" are meant to encourage participation from the general locality, and while sponsored by the national organization, is meant to serve the local area where the meet is located.
On the other hand, "Area Meets" serve as the yearly national meets, and it is their purpose to encourage members from a larger circle to attend on a yearly basis. These "Area Meets" were designed to have participation from large circles, such as the midwest, or northeast, or westcoast, or middlewest. In effect, these serve the function of yearly national meets, without the actual title of "National Anniversary Meet."
Perhaps the solution to having yearly national meets is to designate, on a rotating basis, an "Area Meet" also as the "National Anniversary Meet" to encourage participation, diversity its location, and increase exposure of the club.
This way...without any extra organization required, there can exist an annual "National Anniversary Meet" and one "Area Meet" would also benefit from increased national attendance from our membership.
Who would support this?
