Pulling out of a planned meet, show or event

[Clown]

And this is why I usually say 'maybe' to attending anyway

[Keyser]

Trouble is if everyone says "maybe" then nothing would be organized

[Ebized]

Well said Colin, if I have to pull out I always let the other person know

 

That's the point - letting those that matter know that you can't make it

i quit being an REO after organising an event where there was at least 10 people coming and another 5 maybe's. after waiting an hour no one turned up. felt like a right billy.

if people want it and there are enough numbers I will have another punt

 

Mark,Liam and myself. Thanks.

If theres a flat bit for the bus, we'll come

Only if them bumpers have been done.

Unfortunately they are last on the list. Need to get it fully functional before cosmetics, but should all hopefully be complete by May, although I'll be paying for it til next xmas I think

This is true - I refuse to accept 'maybes' is a total waste of everyone's time

I guess I'll stop expressing an interest then.

Dont throw the dummy lol

I'm not spitting my dummy out, I'm just stating my intentions. I agree that it's pointless in not committing and saying maybe, so I should probably not do it.

[Dblock]

I agree a text, call or even a post only takes seconds to make. It's rude not to.

 

Or even go to a meet lol

 

huh?

[Jay]

Lol, you need to get yourself to a scottish meet

[glrnet]

Lol, you need to get yourself to a scottish meet

Now that IS good advice!!

Whoa, you guys are always doing ones on the west coast. That's fine but it's usually on a weekend or a day I'm busy. Not your fault I know.

 

I tried to set up a weekly or bi monthly mini meet where I could put faces to names and catch up with some owners in real life. Maybe teach or learn some DIY's but No one was up for it. I know we have a decent member base in Dundee and Fiferland. Maybe they are just as busy as I am

Wondered when you would show your face:)

We have always seen at the Wales weekend, for example, some have to pull out in the last week and most have let us know - absolutely fine and has given the opportunity for reserves to take their place.

 

It's the no news either before the event about pulling out or the lack of news/apology afterwards for not attending when organizers have taken the trouble to set something up that is not only plain rude and can disrupt the event itself, but as we have seen above ^^^^ discourage future meet organization. There are precious few who have time to organize events and we simply do not want to lose them due to timewasters.

 

But it is also a message that says if you do get known to mess organizers about then don't be surprised if your name gets taken off an entry list, particularly when spaces are limited.

Now that I do agree with:)

[rtbiscuit]

could i suggest meet organisers pm a mobile number out to all prospective attendees and in case of emergencies people can text it? not everyone; especially new memebers have met people before or are likely to have peoples contact details. or instant access to a PC or wifi enabled phone.

 

but surely most people could manage a text these days in an emergency. just need to make sure people have this info thats all.

[Envy Valeting]

I posted when I couldnt make the Zedfest meet and felt a total shite for not going, but then I couldn't walk let alone drive. I did PM Martinmac and Arkwright to say about it.

Then again, when the Mrs re-shaped our car before the previous LakeZ trip I still made it, eventually!
