Beginning this year the OPL will be a cost of $10 per person, per event to be given to the host of the event when at a private residence. This was brought up in the past by a few of the members who have hosted and we have decided to go forward with that so the host can pay for repairs and maintenance on their games. There will be no 50/50 draws.
Everybody who attends is still asked to bring a food item to share in a potluck. Please don't show up to events empty handed.
Thanks
Jason
OPL President

Re: New This Year
That's entirely fair. Having had a bajillion people over before, dropping chips and spilling beer... being able to just drop a hundred bucks on a cleaner afterwards would be a huge relief to a host.

Re: New This Year
Makes sense. PWO has been doing a $5/person collection for a while now, just to cover some of the cost of general wear and tear.
backglasses wanted: Star-Jet, Fairy, Star Trek (1971 Gottlieb)
marquees wanted: Roller Aces, Quiz Dragon, Strider, Varkon, Dark Planet, R-Type (w/ship), Quantum, Ninja (Sega)

Re: New This Year
LOPL has been doing this for a while now. $10 a head to cover refreshments and incidentals for the host. They're opening their home, it's the least the attendees can do. Plus, it's still a cheap night out.

Re: New This Year
