QUOTE(BEWARE @ Dec 15 2008, 09:25 AM) [snapback]1283294425[/snapback] Its because no one was there early, they missed about 100 or so cars that were there prior to 1pm. $10 x 100 = $1000. I wanna my $2000! QUOTE(Zeeute @ Dec 15 2008, 09:25 AM) [snapback]1283294426[/snapback] Don't forget, everyone didn't donate money...

QUOTE(BEWARE @ Dec 15 2008, 09:25 AM) [snapback]1283294425[/snapback] My guess, probably because no one was there early enough, they missed about 100 or so cars that were there prior to 1pm. I think this was the case, when I got there no1 was taking donations and it was hard to find where to pay as organisers weren't obvious (perhaps shirts for organisers next time?) I ended up walking back to the entrance eventually and by then they were taking payments so put my money in.

I heard otherwise *shrug* what he said, I thought it was deemed that 1 should donate upon entering. |

QUOTE(Faye @ Dec 15 2008, 09:32 AM) [snapback]1283294448[/snapback] I'm not complaining, but I do agree it was badly organised, should have had another entry open, Toilets, More shade or a place with more shade and more food & Drinks available. Was there for 10 minutes and bailed. Thats what most people have been saying, I left pretty much after 30mins of standing in the heat with no place in the showground to buy a drink!!! |

another thing people should take into account was the fact that the showgrounds were under construction and one of the entrances was blocked off. |

was a good day. didnt make it to the boondal meet, due to traffic on the gateway and once we saw a few car we turned around. When we got there everyone was in the wrong entrance. so we lined up again and went in. Was a bit disapointed about the toilets and drink. we lined up fro 30 minutes to get drink and was told they had run out. went down the shop and got hit up about the $10 again and when we said we had paid already and we didnt have any more cash on us from buying the corner shop out of water, we were called @#$!s because we didnt pay again, so i wasnt impressed with that. but all in all it was good to raise some money.... |
