Bus tour issue
by James Naylor 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Here's our latest issue. There seems to be an issue of capacity for the bus tours. According those working on it, we are limited to smaller busses (max: 38 passengers), and to four busses. This means, of course, only 152 places. We can discuss this a bit on this listserv, but if that's the case, it's fewer than the number registrants. Clearly we cannot offer the tours to the public. The finance committee will discuss the cost implications of this and report back. Finally, Krishna, can you remove the "open to the public" designation beside the bus tours on the webpage?

Registering for the bus tours
by James Naylor 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

I’ve been thinking of issues related to the bus tours, and before we put up the on-line registration for the them, we need to determine the maximum number of seats that we will be making available. Unfortunately, neither Paul nor Sharon could make yesterday’s meeting, as you know, but I want to catch them up on the conversation. The Riley Fund Grant is no longer covering the Thursday evening event at the Ukrainian Labour Temple since our registration has reached a point that that the capacity of the venue no longer makes it feasible to have it open to the public, which the grant stipulates. That event has to come out of our general funds. It does free up Riley money for the Wednesday opening and the bus tours. The Riley grant is relatively stringent in saying that not only does an event have to be free and open to the public, we cannot prioritize conference goers. We discussed how to work this, and we will make an on line registration system available to all, and advertise it, for the same day. We do, however, want to try to ensure that the conference goers, at least if they act relatively quickly, have a good shot at getting on the busses. That means we want to, and can afford, to have more busses available. We recognize some congestion at some of the sites, but we should try to figure out how to handle this, if we can, and busses will be staggered, any least a bit, since it takes some time to get people on them. We could even say that a couple of the busses leave 20 or 30 minutes later than the first. What I need to know, relatively quickly, what the cut off number is for the bus tours, since we can register people beyond the number of places available. This is more or less up to Sharon and Paul who have been working on this.

Registration
by James Naylor 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hi everyone, I'm sending current registration material. EOD refers to online registration at end of day; mail (cheques) and phone should be self-explanatory and there were a couple "others." At some point we'll clean this all up into one list to help produce badges and receipts. Current registration (Friday evening) sits at 234.

Questions regarding Saturday Bus Tours
by Amber Ostermann 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Good morning: I am confirming some information with Winnipeg Transit regarding the booking that Paul Jenkins originally made for us. (This booking has been switched to my name.) Can someone please confirm for me this morning the following timeline: * 12:30 pm - roundtable ends * Is there lunch following the roundtable and before we board buses? If so, what's the time range? * The online program indicates bus tour is 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm. * What time do we actually want to DEPART from UofW? * How long is the actual tour? * This will then determine our return time to UW. I will take this info and add in unloading time and time to and from the garage for the buses so that we can get a clearer estimate for this cost - as the driver time portion of the estimate/payment is logged from the time they leave the garage to the time they return. I will need a map/itinerary provided to me so I may give this to Transit so the drivers can be familiar with the route prior to the event. Who can provide this to me? (Not needed today but soon.) Also, our current booking is for 5 buses (185 seats). I've asked them to quote for both 5 and 6 buses in case we need to increase our capacity. (Will be determined once we finalize this Saturday a procedure to track attendance for the bus tour.) Transit indicated that moving up from 5 to 6 buses would not be a problem if we need to. Budget: A deposit has not been paid for this booking and Transit confirmed to me that one is not needed. They just bill after the event. Finally, Transit indicated that since this is a conference we may be eligible for a grant that would provide us a discount. He's going to send me the info on it to see if we qualify. Fingers crossed on this one. Thanks, Amber Amber Ostermann Communications Specialist Faculty of Arts University of Manitoba 204-480-1498

Thanks Tim and Victor. We’ll have to talk about how handle this when we meet on Saturday. In the meantime, we should be careful how we advertise the open character of the Keynote talk. At the very least we should let people know that capacity will be limited.

Library talk today
by James Naylor 04 Apr '19

04 Apr '19

I know it's last minute, but I assume that we are announcing or handing out flyers about free events? In any case, we have to be careful about the Ukrainian Labour Temple advertising because of limited capacity. We will probably have to ask members of "the public" to register to hear the keynote. I assume that the Wednesday evening will be okay since they know the issue, but given the discussion about Thursday capacity, it is perhaps best that we let people know that there is limited room, and perhaps we can lead them to our website for more information (particularly if we decide to set up a system of registration).
