I forgot about the confusion at the car show with the special categories.
I suggested they offer a different style of meal at the welcome and farewell dinners. When you're feeding that many people the food should be buffet but if the meals are kind of deconstructed more people can find something they want to eat. For example the pasta is just in olive oil, sauce on the side, grilled chicken on the side. This way people just take what they want. I was OK at the welcome dinner but the farewell dinner was really bad for me. I go to the dinners for the activity and company, not so much for the food.
Overall it's a really well run event
