QUOTE (flawles @ Jun 28 2009, 10:07 PM)  Ummm no one complained cos there was "no bbq" its was more along the lines of organisation. i am all for charity and more than happy to support where and when i can, but reading this orginial thread, it was an organised event, show and shine, police escort bla bla bla.. that is all what normal charity cruises entail. then today, no organisation, no escort, no information and everyone bailed without letting others know what was happening. noone wants a refund. no one asked for a refund. see above comments. the charity cruises i have attended, had people from the charity attending, the police were aiding the event, there was sections and donations taken upon entering for maximum fundraising and everyone was informed about times of when things were happening and what was going on throughout the day. I have no issues with anyone, but just felt that letting people know what was going on would have been good. i came down when you needed the $ at the start to help make this happen and even waited an hour and half for you to come because i wanted to support this.. and then when everyone bails from the event and doesnt tell you whats happening its a little weird. QUOTE Hey guys, So its on for this sunday as follows: Meet BEFORE 9 am chermside westfield (will hopefully get an aerial view pic tonight to I can show you a pic of where). We will leave here to head to brisbane entertainment centre, which is just down the road. We will be here for as long as everyone wants, with a show n shine and hopefully a bbq and overall a good chance to hang out and chat, and seesome cool cars. Entry is 10 dollars per car, and we will be hunting for donations from people on the day, along with gold coin donations for drinks etc. The weather is looking good so no excuses to not have your car sparkling and to have ur ash trays full of shrapnel!! So come along and have a good day with us! Cheerrs, mcgnarly Please show me where it says a police escort and a bbq at the end??? yes it did say it in the other thread, but this was the new updated thread...... |

I told many ifyou that the police contacted me late friday and told me they didn't have the 'recourses' to escort us... I also said I was unsure of the bbq because of problems with the people organising, and if some of you could open. Ur eyes you would have seen. In previous posts that I was unsure of the bbq, I did have drinks for sale, I did get westfield and bec to allow us to use their space and I did get starlight totake us officially on. |

QUOTE (McGnarly @ Jun 29 2009, 11:49 AM) So flawless was it you who has contacted julie at starlight about the legitimacy of the event? Actually no it wasn't.. Maybe another disappointed attendee.. Just because people voice their opinions, there is no need to assume. It's funny that I speak up and you all pounce on me, yet others voice the same thoughts and it's all sweet... Why is this? I do alot of charity stuff with my job and this is why was disappointed with this event. Three weeks is plenty of time to organize some maps, sections, event judging etc.. If you need assistance, i'm happy to help where I can. Just ask. Just because I don't post alot on the site, doeant mean I don't get on here. |

What, you think people take the time out to come to a talked up event like this, get bounced around from carpark to carpark with absolutly no communication or organisation and come back saying what a wonderful time they had? Wake up! If you cant deal with both good and Bad feedback.. Just organise events with your friends.. Not on a public forum for all to attend.. If anything, Listen and take in what people thought so you can make the next one bigger and better |

For sure, he did an awesome job raising that much money for those in need and have to thank the people who did attend the event thats for sure. I understand both sides of the story and I see where some of you are coming from in regards to organising a charity event cruise, correct me if i'm wrong I think it is his first major event he has done since moving to Brisbane. I'm sure next time something like this goes ahead there will be a bit more organsing with the event as well, but look he's done well and helped raise that much money. If you ever need a hand next time mate, I'm always about  But I agree on one of the above posts, lock the topic before it turns into a shitfight. StreetFame33 |

Look let's make it clear. I'm not closing this topic simply because you're upset that people aren't providing the "awesome day bro" that you're hoping for. |
