[RTTY] RTTY Dinner Directions Help

[Fred Dennin]

Joe,

I hope you'll find the seating suitable.  The seating should be setup as it is for the Sat night contest dinner which is 8 to 10 seats per table.

I have generally assigned seats to sequentially numbered tables as each person registered for the dinner.  When you get to the front door, W0YK and K1ZZI will have your table assignment by table number and each table will have a number placard/Tent on it and that too, will have the callsigns on it.

The exception to the sequential assignment of tables is that the speakers and those assisting me are all assigned to my table.   Obviously, those that paid for 2 and 3 dinners, want to sit at the same table.  Same applies to husbands and wives.

Other than that and out if 63 dinner reservations, we've only had 2 people request to sit with someone specifically.  

Generally speaking , seating has been first come first served.  Looking forward to seeing you all at the dinner.

Fred, WW4LL
