About 18mths ago on club calibra someone tried to set up a big NW Meet, RR there I think he'd paid the deposit or something, only a couple turned up I know he lost a quite a few quid.

ive just rung up Awesome to pay, only to be told its been cancelled!

i was actually looking forward to anhilliating kevs skoda on the rollers

[Nemesis]

Well after some snotty Pm's ive decided to CANCEL the RR day with Immediate affect!

After all the effort ive put into this event a few certain people dont seem to agree so next time i will simply not bother!

Name and shame Kev, if anyone is giving you grief for doing your unpaid and largely unthanked job as a co-ord, then they dont deserve to be on MIG imho

Gutted for you. I'll have to think twice about a eastmids RR session now!

+1.

Especially whichever idiots gave you grief over it. Whoever they are should be ashamed of themselves, especially after all the hard work you have put into trying to arrange something.

I seriously doubt they'll have the manners to do so but the very least you should receive is an apology from those who gave you grief over it. Those who don't know Kev and got shirty with him undoubtably haven't got a clue what a nice lad he is and how much time and affort he puts in UNPAID to try and arrange things for Migweb members and users. Hang your head in shame and either apologise or stop using this forum.

[F124nny]

[Andybon]

Rang them to pay yesterday afternoon when i finished work and got told it was cancelled. Bit gutted, but another oppurtunity will arise soon!

Nice to see that Staff are being abused for trying to do a good thing.

As said, Kev's a good lad likewise as are all of our staff and we do not appreciate people abusing them. Jokingly, yes, but if you wanna be serious then point your abuse else where please.

I'm honestly gutted for you and your region Kev.

Dont be put off Ben, your meets seem to be taking off even if its not just a MIG event. Keep at it as your doing a cracking job.

Shame this has been called off, the last one was a really good day with a decent turn out too. Id love to know what excuse any fool hadto give kev any grief what so ever. He tried to organise an event giving up his own time, only 5 people payed so it didnt happen, the end. Cant see anything he has done wrong there?

Anyway hope you manage to sort another rr day out asap.

[Black Magic]

cant we just turn up & book anyways?

why 10? they putting on a free buffet or something?

Hang on hang on, all these people coming on saying oh I rung up yesterday (Friday) last day of payment saying oooohh I was just about to pay and book my place, u are just as bad, Kev has been advertising / messaging this for at least the last month so why has everybody left if till the last day to all of a sudden pay up ! If so many people were up for this why didnt they sort last week / week before so on so on, sorry to be negative but !

Kev is sound lad and this is of no fault to him, everybody was given plenty of notice

[Allvaux]

Good point GSI, why leave it until the last minute?

I guess they can not justify the Saturday working for the operators and 10 x £35 would be required to get the deal! Awesome normally have about 3 people running the dyno day!
It is also likely that the MIG guys who have paid will have had to make changes, swap shifts etc, Including Kev as I know he works shifts. Reading the posts, a deadline is a deadline which Kev clearly said was 5.00pm on the 18th, Many people get paid on a friday and it is better to phone after work 4.00pm finish(although i had paid earlier to show support), it seems was cancelled at 11.50am well before that time.
I do appreciate Kevs efforts to arrange this, but to cancel it before the deadline is also not fair on those who have committed the cash and changed arrangements!
After the monster turn out last time it is dissapointing!

[Andybon]

Maybe because people where awaiting having a spare few quid to pay for it. Not everyone has a money tree in their back yard they can just pluck money off when its needed.

Thats very true although the thread went up on the 10th of January so surely people got paid at least once inbetween then and now?

[Andybon]

The way it was for me, After Christmas I had a lot to pay for, All the bills take priority over a day out. Got the new car then after that what I had left went to one side for emergency's (Weather it be extra payment here, Parts needed for new car etc).

Had it all worked out so when I got payed on friday i could at least spare £50 to have the day out, In this case the rolling road day.

Now its been cancelled, I treated me and the missus to a meal. So in a way all is not lost.

at the end of the day this didnt happen and is now cancelled, all this debate and analysing of what why when and if isnt going to change anything so lets just move on and maybe attend the next meet.

[Nemesis]

I'm personally pretty annoyed, that I was willing to travel 2 hours each way to an event well outside my region, and yet a few people can't keep a simple commitment to find £35. It's not much to commit to, more of a sad reflection. Same goes for people attending meets, actual turnout is often dismal and full of crap excuses.

Billy many thanks for your kind words. Yes i spent ages trying to sort all this out and in return i got crap off people but end of the day they can hide behind there keyboard and when i see them ill be having words. thats not a issue.

Im gutted for the region but hey!

Awesome are actually stopping RR events but they want 10 paid deposits to guarantee it will go a head so they can sort staffing and get everything in place. Usually i gather that the RR guys dont work weekends so we cant just turn up and run. If you wanted a remap or anything to happen with the RR they you usually prebook with them anyway. I can see there point tho as and this is a good example of when it goes pete tong!

Deadline or not of 5pm on friday this thread has been up since 10/1/2011 and i have sent several pm's so there has been plenty of time. EVEN with the people that have come forward to say they called that only makes 9 and therefore not enough to take place.

at the end of the day this didnt happen and is now cancelled, all this debate and analysing of what why when and if isnt going to change anything so lets just move on and maybe attend the next meet.

Agreed and many thanks

Agreed. 36 people voted including myself to have a RR day and how many payments did we get committed? 6 that's right 6

To me thats bloody poor.

Ben i am seriously chuffed you would make the effort and thank you for your commitment.

[Paul]

This is indeed shocking. Only just seen this thread.

I think people don't understand the hard work and hastle people go to when arranging events.

[Kev_G]

They dont Paul and i wont do it for a long time now
