HMGS was one of the first groups I named when I started the group discount  
program, and I think they are still on the list already.

Hi  Robyn,

Bill Witthans  here, newly minted President of HMGS/PSW. I wanted to 
approach you with the  idea of giving card carrying members or HMGS/PSW a discount 
to the Strategicon  series of yearly conventions. I have had inquiries 
about this from members and  had this as a goal from before I was elected. 
HMGS/PSW has a "New Wind"  blowing in its sails and is making great strides in 
promoting the hobby in the  South Western area. Our last convention was the 
best and biggest in years.  This was due to pushes made by the "New" 
leadership even before they were  elected. We know that you guys are a large force in 
the Southwest Gaming scene  and we would like to make a larger effort to 
help you as that will also help  us! 

One of the great  complaints of the hundreds of miniature gamers I interact 
with is the cost and  inconvenience of "airport conventions. You and I have 
talked about this  before, yes I was the guy who met and talked with you in 
the hallway at the  last airport convention, I also ran the "Spaceship" 
combat game "Full Thrust"  that afternoon and evening. I wrote a very favorable 
report on my website as  well as giving you guys and the "new" management 
at the con a nod on the HMGS  site. I relies that the inconvenient of the 
current location is difficult to  change (I know you guys are considering 
moving) but the cost is a possible? If  you could get HMGS members a slight 
discount, say 1/3 off? ($30 ticket is now  $20) it would go a long way in getting 
a lot more miniature players down to  the conventions. We have quite a few 
"Family" gamers and bringing families is  an expensive proposition in these 
tough economic times and a little incentive  goes a long way! I always look 
at it like this 2/3rds of something ($30) is  better than 3/3rds of  
nothing! More people through your doors is always  good! Good for vendors, good 
you, good for the positive advertising they take  away and tell friends who 
then come with them to the next  convention.

We are also in  the process of redoing our HMGSPSW.ORG website and 
"Occasional Messenger" news  letter. These would be great spot to advertise your  
conventions!

If you can work  on this on your end and you or Jose Mendiola,  get back to 
me it would be  great! I would also appreciate you forwarding this to 
"Rick"? I think his name  was, I talked to him at the con and he later emailed me 
I believe he is on of  the new convention owners, the director? He had long 
hair as I remember∑lol. I  and my officers will work on this end to get 
more and better games down to  your conventions to help support the "new" 
influx of  people.

Regards,

Bill  Witthans
