Below Ron, I've saved you the effort of looking back to the "practical end" of this thread because you obviously haven't read it. (it was the page previous) As pointed out, I have no interest in any event failing, but I do have an interest if members (my) money is wasted or lost........as should all members. I'm afraid it's your attitude that somehow, everyone, Must and should sacrifice something to attend a competitive event in which they(I) have little interest in that Causes your stress. There's plenty of good events around here, that I have an interest in participating in, that can use my attending/labour support. I have difficulty getting to many of the events here because of real life time eaters so there is little value in trying to travel 1200 miles to attend an event there...............that I have no passion for. Do YOU get it, yet? [sm=tired.gif] quote:
ORIGINAL: Sharpy01 Hey Ed. Far from immaterial......................but a moot point because after a second request, I did receive relevant information regarding the event. (Posted below) The request of hard info/facts really shouldn't be passed off as "grumbling". An informed membership is potentially a more active membership. I have no interest in seeing the event fail because I am a "co-loser" if it does. I simply don't want to see any further big losses related to individual events. I wish life were as simple as, "take a day or two off work and attend and support the event", but it isn't and there are plenty of events around here in my interest area that need as much support as I can manage on my limited time off. Regardless, the bottom line is that Director Shaw states that no association money is at risk and with that information, the total numbers attending/competing really doesn't matter to me at this point. Here's the bit I got and my follow-up response; ---------------------------- "All As of now there is NO seed money in our hands nor do we expect to need any. There are over 100 entrants to this point but Helli,Electric,and Sailplane events have been cancelled due to lack of entrants. Scale Aerobatics and Scale are the highest entrant events. A full report will be in the MAAC Mag after the event. Hope to see you there. Gerry Shaw " ----------------------------- "Thanks. Confirming that "NO" association funds have been expended for this event, there is obviously no need for the requested budget information. I appreciate your reponse and wish you good weather and good fun. I'll look for the report in the mag. Cheers. Marc Sharpe"
