Hi Tom,
Like you and Midge, I live at the edge of the NCCC circle. When a board
member, I did my best to find meeting locations that made it easy for
those outside the Bay area to attend. Several times someone suggested a
meeting in/near Santa Cruz, and I rejected the idea outright, because it
made it more difficult for most members to attend.
Perhaps you can suggest a meeting location (or at least a geographic
area) that would be more suitable. As to uniqueness and/or program
content -- I was asked to be part of the program for this one, but
declined because it conflicts with IOTA.
As to travel time -- a close meeting from Santa Cruz is 2 hours round
trip, 4 hours is average for a "joint" meeting, and this one is close to
5 hours. We make it work by car pooling -- with K6XX, K6GHA, KW6S,
N6NUL, W6GJB, and NI6T, we often need two cars. The great part of this
is the conversation during the trip.
73, Jim K9YC
