RE: [RC] ENTRY FEES - heidi

Here are a few items from my checkbook I wouldn't have thought of in
pre-ride budget:

Stamps (boy have they gone up!)
Copy paper for rider cards
Copying ride flyers & cards
<snip>
Regions could save managers a *lot* of money by making a list of riders
who absolutely know how to use the internet and don't need their flyers
mailed to them. 


One of the really good things that our regional organization (PNER) does is put 
out a yearly handbook at the beginning of the ride season.  RMs pay a small fee 
to have their ride flyers printed in the handbook--and it is WAAAY cheaper than 
mailing them out individually!  Riders like it, too, because there is ONE 
booklet with all of the ride flyers in it, plus information about PNER rules 
and awards, and other goodies.  Additionally, if an RM buys a handbook ad, they 
get an ad in the monthly PNER newsletter prior to their ride as part of the 
price.  The ride flyers also go up on the PNER website.  When I was actively 
putting on rides, I only printed and mailed flyers to those out-of-region 
riders (or non-PNER members) who requested them--BIG savings, and better 
coverage, because the RM doesn't have to worry about people who have changed 
addresses, etc.
