Have you organised an event before? This is what happens, because in the real world people can't always make it even though they'd like to. Getting in a moody strop about it and having a go at them won't change that.
Yes John, Neil has organised a meet before and it was very successful but yes I do agree with you to a certain extent ( in the real world people do have other things to do and plans change.) However for the people who attended this show.... they saw how much time, effort and money got put into this and basically felt bad but also ashamed that people who put their names down to attend could not have let a mod know that they couldnt make it. Now when I organise a meet up North..... I EXPECT people to let me know if they cant make it... they all have my number and can obviously PM me and that is just how we run things up here and I have never have had a problem or has anyone else who is organising a meet. So I guess its just a bit of a shock to see so many people not give Martin a heads up that they cant make it. But I guess its just a sh!tty learning curve...... so in future maybe taking a deposit in advance is the way to go ( who knows)
Admiral Al......... mate...... I salute you.......putting up with my other half for so long and still managing to show that you were interested You need to give me tips. But it was great catching up with you buddy and lets not leave it for so long this time Remember I need more than 2 days notice when your coming up north
