Limit reservations to 2 per family. Keep it a real collectors get-together. Children, if they come along, should not be included at any limited seating program, trip, or the big dinner. This denies some true collectors from being able to attend. Hopefully HL will have their reunion at a time when children are in school. I think this should be an adult-focused event.
Sorry Jakers, looks like you're excluded under this plan.
I won't be there either. Anybody that excludes my kids excludes me. Maybe no one else cares, and that's OK too. We all have our opinions. Just because my kid's don't have purchasing power or 18 years under their belts doesn't mean that they're any less interested in lighthouses or Harbour Lights. What is the definition of a "real collector" or a "true collector"? We collect as a family. Imo, it's the kids that *make* an event. Leave 'em home? You gotta be kidding.
Nothing personal here, but I have strong feeling about this.
