Rally Bob & Terry's FFF Rally - Thurs 26th to Mon 30th July 2018 (1 Viewer)

The figures are in and we were able to raise £177.91 for the Air Ambulance.
The money was given to Andy (site owner) to pay on our behalf and he has generously bumped it up to £250.

Thanks everyone, receipt below

Again fabulous weekend, well done giving to charity. Heartily agree to paying deposits - several members running events do this and still get fully booked with basic costs then covered. Also would add the additional luxury of taking newspaper orders and then hand delivering them would be better paying up front and collecting them from you. Bob and Lisa seemed to be driving round for ages trying to find people.
I understand folk having operations or hospital appointments having to cancel at the last minute as rescheduling these could put people to the back of the queue as we're in the same position but got lucky as the my op' fell between the 3f's and Saltfleet. The least people can do is to let you know as soon as pos'.

I would happily pay the fee up front, and chance losing my money if I couldn’t attend. This has happened to me on a number of occasions when life intruded unexpectedly - I would never not attend without informing the organiser as all it takes is a few words on a post.
I’m glad the air ambulance got a donation - I assume the damaged section of the marquee had to be deducted?

Thanks for your comments. The damage has not been quoted for yet, so has not been deducted.

We agree Lisa, if you want a deposit next year, so be it, you can put our name down now. Can't understand people who back out last minute without any consideration for the organizers, you shouldn't be out of pocket. I was more than happy to help after such a fantastic weekend. Took me two days to recover though!!

Hi @Lisa. We really enjoyed the meet and remarked that it was excellent value. We would be happy to chip in a bit extra to ensure you aren't out of pocket. Obviously you didn't factor in damage to the marquee to the costs. You did a brilliant job in difficult circumstances. Wanted to ask you where you got the burger buns from? They were the best.

Thank you all it was great despite the bad timing of the rain. Love to do next year and EVERY meet should take deposits to stop it getting like the caravan club

What with hospital appointments this is the first time I have had to say a big thank you for organising a great meet this thanks goes to everyone who worked hard to make it a success. We would be willing to pay a non refundable deposit and full payment nearer the time. Thank you very mu ch for Terry and Bob for releasing our spare wheel at least we can get chairs etc. in the locker.
PS As for non shows this happens all the time and as you say it would help if they let the marshals no as some meets we have to be there from 8 in the morning till 9 at night waiting for people who don't turn up;
Once a again a big thank you for the weekend and put us down for next year

Payment of deposit non returnable and advance final payment totally acceptable.
Many of us as already mentioned have to juggle Hospital and family commitments at short notice.

 

[Lisa]

Thanks for all your kind offers, comments and feedback, deposits will definitely be requested in future.
We understand that genuine things pop up, and have had to cancel things ourselves but are equally happy to forfeit our deposits and give as much notice as possible.

@Hils and Glenns - the burgers/buns were obtained from a wholesalers that Bob (@bobnden ) used previously when they owned a pub. PM them if you want further details

Onwards and upwards

Thanks for your interest but we’re still recovering from this years meet to even consider putting it on again

IF we decide to run another FFF meet, we won’t know any dates until next year. It will also be at a new venue......
