Colonies Zone SCY Championships - Fairfax VA

I swim out of the Niagara LSMC with the BUMS but live in Savannah. I have noticed some of the meets I go to down here charge a meet fee only, no event fees, which being from up north I was not used to that at all. But the Colony Zone SCY event organizers might want to look at this in the future. Right now it costs $25 to swim Friday nite distance day but charge a meet fee of $45 and they might think twice before they sign up and if they do the event will at least get a little more revenue out of them. I was planning on attending this meet (and swimming 3 days) on my way up to NY to prep my sailboat for the summer but without the 1650/1000 free being available I'll be skipping this one. Now its an Austin, TX meet in April (and do the annual family trip early) or the Nat's in May (which interferes with sailing). To me it looks like someone could organize a distance only event in this area and make some money for a club.
