All
Meals must be ordered in advance and prepaid at the time of
registration.
As a part of the reservation process you will be given an opportunity
to either pay for the meals using PayPal or will get a form that you
can send to SJAA along with a check. Note that a small convenience
fee will be charged for the PayPal
transactions to cover the cost of using PayPal.
Meals are ordered when SJAA receives the money not when the reservation
is made. If you are using PayPal for registration then you can
reserve a meal until 10AM Wednesday
Oct 10. If you decide to mail a
check then it must be in the SJAA mailbox by the same time.
Payments received after that time cannot be accepted. I will
confirm all reservations via email.
Cancellation
Meals can be cancelled via email to
before 10 AM on Wednesday Oct 10. After that point all sales
are final. If SJAA does sell your meal then we may be able to
refund your money. All PayPal convenience
fees are non-refundable.
Walk-ins
If you do not pre-reserve a meal then
you need to bring your own food. There may be walk-in
meals available, but that will depend on no shows and on whether or not
extra food will be available. We will not be collecting money at
the site this year so you must bring exact change.
Why is SJAA requiring prepayment?
The simple reason is that over the years people have abused the honor
system reservations that we have used in the past. That caused
SJAA to jack up the cost of the meals to cover our risk. This
year we have been able to eliminate this cost lowering the price of the
meal to all of the responsible participants. We are also sharing
the risk of weather related cancellation instead of SJAA taking it on
by itself.
For those not participating in the BBQ (and everyone on Thursday)
The picnic tables by the baseball diamond are for use by all
attending the star party. Please feel free to come by and socialize.
There is a convenience store at Lake San Antonio. Nearest grocery stores are 30 miles south at Paso Robles and 30 miles north at King City.
A potluck is usually organized by several of the participants for
all three nights of the event and everyone is invited. This is
not an SJAA event. Check the TAC mail list for information.
