Hi,
I liked the location since it was only 80 miles from Oakland. The hall was fine with free parking. Maps of where the rooms were located would have definitely been helpful. The raffle room was kinda far away from the central action.
The major problem I had is with the date. Why is it in October which is prime flyfishing time in California? Why not move it up to August when it's usually to hot for good fishing. Also the American Casting Association NorthwestTournament was being held the same weekend at GGACC in San Francisco. members of the GGACC, Oakland Casting Club and San Jose are casting at the tournament instead of being able to attend the Conclave. I think better date selection would definitely allow more people to attend the event.
I enjoyed the presentations by Ralph Wood and Jerry N. I was able to hear everything.
