jd Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) sod it then, may aswell cancel if that is being the attitude. Any comments? an opportunity missed, shall i invite SWS then? I thought Big Rand was staying at yours for the saturday night? Edited November 1, 2007 by JD
kevlorn Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 so the whole thing will be cancelled just because im not coming wtf....... my family WILL always come FIRST.. ive put alot of effort into the sw region over the last 12 months,i cannot attend/cancel one event and all i get is S**t..i give up..........
jd Posted November 1, 2007 Posted November 1, 2007 (edited) Not moaning about you putting your family 1st, i can understand that. Just it seems more people pulling out of this everyday. But i have assured Martyn that we want to go ahead on the sunday, however if everyone keeps dropping out at this late stage it wont be worthwhile having the event on the sunday, and a few cannot attend on the saturday so will be maybe 7 or 8 of us if that. Therefore, will it be worth running the event? If you were a business, would you? Just wanting some input into this, can we discuss this weekend with Martyn? Shall we leave this till next year and let another club take advantage of this opportunity? Edited November 1, 2007 by JD

kevlorn Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 no probs,organised things myself in the past,bought tickets,hired mini bus and payed for it all up front myself,, people pulled out and wouldnt pay up,cost me money which i will never do again.....................................cash up front in the future,at least if they cancel i dont loose out personaly....maybe an idea for future shows/events theres always someone that cant turn up for one reason or another..this way at least everything is covered...(just an idea)..
kevlorn Posted November 2, 2007 Posted November 2, 2007 will be taking deposits in future not a bad idea,that way organisers/companys dont loose out..

kevlorn Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 yh mate,totaly agree with you..................everyone puts there name down who wants to go and pays up front straight away.........just need to make it clear on the first post of the thread,,,then if they cant come for any reason the organiser doesnt have to pay and loose out..to be honest i see nothing wrong with doing this..

kevlorn Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 yep...........its not until it happens to yourself and you have to pay up that you start thinking about this......................i would kick off about the stand on sunday though,,the general public took up half of it..there was no control on who entered the stand area,,,just some bloke waving everyone in.not checking any tickets etc..

petenofear Posted November 9, 2007 Posted November 9, 2007 iya all who turned up i think it was a good day BUT the so called stand we had was shxt any old jo public was aloud to park in where a stand was and i did not think this was right IF ANY ONE THINKS DIFF PLEASE SAY plus i payed a diposit and and we still all had to pay the ful amount to get in there was NO discount as promised from street wars and it cost me £35 to get in with out the run (£55) with thats with the diposit i payed (just for me so i think i will b getting on to lee at street wars to talk about next time i think the stand if we do have one next time shouyld b buy the Q for the 1/8 mile please let me all know what u think as i will not b getting done with this again thanks to u all pete
jd Posted November 10, 2007 Posted November 10, 2007 pete, i have spoken to Lee about last weekend, and i did offer to pay you back £25 out of club funds to compensate you, but you refused. This offer still stands. I will be in more contact with Lee closer to the next event. He agrees there are some issues with the parking and aims to resolve the issues, I dont think he planned on that many cars turning up.
