As a member of the proposed bid team - I broadly agree, although I wouldn't like to squeeze out all non-mainstream activity. (from what I have programmed, my main non sf item is balloon modelling for kids, although the easiest one to make is clearly a light sabre...)
If people noted an interest, and noted it early, and we could get enough interested parties to join in, then SF items are running. There's possibly a limit to what you can cajole people into doing where there is limited enthusiasm, and the activities suffer as a result of not being where the heart is. We have asked for interest in being involved - on the registration forms - on the yahoo and facebook groups - via LJ - in person where we are aware of people's interests
I would love to see more fan history/ fanzine interest, if we have people motivated enough to lead them.
I'll also point out there is only actually a carry over of 2 from one committee to the next (chair and finance); and that there's a 2011 bid where your opinions would also be most welcome! (I'm not committee this year, just a wrangler.)
Generally if there are people who would like to be on history and fannish items, the events will run.
Hope to see you and lots of questions at the bid session
