It's a New Year; Let's do Something New

In Response To: It's a New Year; Let's do Something New (Phil Simborg)

Maybe try to organize a novice tourney, one day, very low entry fee, in parallel to a normal event. No prize money, but other fun prizes

Have something special in breaks, e.g. top players playing blindfolded (Magriel and Low apparently did that in the past), have Nack do a few retro problems, have a game between a top player and the mass of novices (if practical, as you'd need to gather votes for plays quickly) with Falafel or so as commentator. A novice quiz.

The main idea, create something fun for local casual players in parallel to the real tourney.

Apologies if this all has already been suggested, I did only read few messages from this thread.
