Paul - See if you can avoid a date clash and keep it simple. These things do usually turn out ok. Hell I might even be back on my bike by then! :daumenhoch:
JT71:
I must confess I never even noticed the post for this event.
Sorry.
I couldn't had made it anyway as Saturday night I had to get my Tux on and attend a charity ball that the company
had booked a table at for the management, so I couldn't have made it.
it is a shame that only ten people made it though, weather probably didn't help.

It was free
it was fairly positioned
and was put up on the forum with months to go
tbo i dont know what else we can do to make people come , maybe the site is full of bedroom collectors who dont want to show off the bikes and socialise with others who do the same
but tbo other hobbys of the same type of thing have 100s of events a year and all of them at least have some people turn up, it was great to see the people who did turn up but i did feel for the few who made an effort only to find an empty field
yes we can all say we had other things to do ,and tbo lots will have good reasons not to come , but 10 of us ffs
yes i was ashamed of you all, and it has made me less likely to bother in the future, but i guess that dosent matter as no one would turn up anyway

TBH i feel a bit insulted, as someone else has said if attendance looked like it was going to be poor then surely it makes more sense to postpone.
We're stuck in the middle of a fookin heavy racing schedule and have only 3 free sundays from April 1st to the end of October, saturdays are taken mostly by the rota for Daggers training sessions, Tony works fookin long hours and at some point we've got to fit in having a baby and spending some time with Tonys kids and extended family.... whilst we'd love to have gone it just weren't gonna happen timewise and everyone has the same problem.
Some of the peeps on here are lucky to have supportive partners who don't mind their respective others going off BMXing but others are not so lucky and have to work fookin hard to persuade em to give a pass just for MK bash.
With these smaller events if their isn't support then dont run em, simple, i'm sure peeps will moan but you cant please all the people all of the time.
Also as JT said, i did't see a deluge of publicity on this event, certainly nothing like the MK bash gets and this may be part of the reason for poor support.
I've said before and i'll say again that in publishing either site goods for sale or site events the site needs to send regular Global PM's to ensure it reaches a maximum audience, but hey that fell on deaf ears too ::)
Like a lamb to the slaughter i'll finish typing and go put my hard hat on for a Rad bashing now :-\
JT71:
I have a suggestion, maybe we could ditcht he shout box and replace it with a rolling banner for the events.
not the racing ones, as the racers already know about those, but things like the novice night and this one that's just gone would be ideal. and everyone would see it.
