Hi any space for two extras at Avon meadows for Easter 2020 please
 
Is everyone who expressed interest getting a conversation about this? It’s a while ago we said we were keen on this one. We still are. ?

I'm tending to send 'Conversations' to those who are new to Fun..
They aren't getting first dibs on places.

Have a look at my avatar. It might give a clue as to why;
a) I'm posting at stupid o'clock, and
b) Why I'm not opening 'The Book' on this rally just yet.

Looks like the rally field could be filled 10 times over and hoping that it is fit to use, there will be a mad rush to book once it is posted as a live rally so Emmit
please put all to rest and give us an indication as to what date you will make it a live rally.
cheers
chris
 
This Conversation has become redundant.

The Rally proper application has been posted. I have sent a 'Conversation' to each and every one of you of the existence of the Rally in the Scheduled Rally Section.
 
You seem to be making a lot of work for yourself Derek, but more to the point you certainly know how to cause confusion amongst the rank and file. :devil:

Thing is Ken, if I posted the 'Come and Join us' without notice, there would be grumblings.
 
What a load of tosh Derek. On our soul rally, those who have been before get first refusal before it goes on general release.

You've given enough notice by posting umpteen posts, now you're just confusing people by playing bloody silly games.

Quite frankly I think that's a very unfair way of working. Why should people who have been before get priority? Derek's way is much fairer and egalitarian.

Well you're entitled to your opinion, but when you've run a rally and dealt with all the shilly shalliers you'll soon realise that those who are serious about attending will do. In addition we have to pay out a hefty sum to hire the hall, 'my aunties dog's just died' doesn't pay for the hire or the DJ, nor do 'no shows' who never let you know. BTW I have ok'ed this strategy with Jim.
 
Hi Ken,

We will have to disagree.

Your Soul Rally has how many places? You've been to Avon Bank. You know how small it is.

As for your comment,"You've given enough notice by posting umpteen threads." Where do you get that?
I posted on 'Rally Planning' the information that there would be a rally at Wyre Piddle. In that thread I stated that bookings would not be taken until November but that the thread was purely for planning purposes. That is the only posting I made.

If I were to invite previous attendees, (and as an inaugural rally, that couldn't be done, even if I wished to do it) this rally would be full using the previous attendees for the Plum Festival and there wouldn't be room for anyone else.

Lastly, How have I caused confusion?
I put, right at the top of the posting, that the 'Book' would be open on the 23rd Nov.
How can I help it if people jump in, without reading the post. I even put that info in 'bold'

I was confused Derek I saw thread and yes I didn't read it BUT it was In rally thread not in rally chat so yes I automatically thought you had put it on as the rally. So put my name down. Internet hasn't been great for us. We are on the move again today. I'd been checking your posts the last one was you would be posting this week. It wasn't untill a Funster rang me and said I hadn't read it properly. . As I said before we won't be coming now so it will make way for somone else. Kate x
 
' by posting umpteen threads '

Corrected to umpteen posts - sorry Sarge.

I have no issue with asking for money up front, in fact I think this is the way rallies should be run to weed out those that book 'on the off chance'. My issue was giving priority to people who have attended before. If the Avon Bank rally was run like that, as it is so popular, there would be the same people attending year after year thus not giving anyone else a chance. However, you're the rally organiser so you can obviously choose to organise it however you want but as far as I am concerned 'first come, first served' is the fairest way.
