[POOL] The situation with the table.

[Brian R. Toonen]

I think we have other options if this falls through.  I suspect that if we
talk with the owner, we can work out a flat rate or a charge per person.  We
could also offer to give up our free drink ticket in exchange for a
discount.  That would benefit them twice since they wouldn't be giving us
free drinks and we would be purchasing more expensive drinks in their place.

|It sounds like a good idea.  But, I think the overflow table has helped
|enough to be worth it.  Typically, the latest I've stayed was around
|10:30-11pm.  Before the overflow table, leaving at 11:30-midnight was
|not that unusual, IIRC.  They've also been using the league practice
|table on occassion.
|
|I guess what you're saying is this, "If the league doesn't give-up the
|overflow table, we end-up paying a full rate for our table."  Is that
|correct?
