You know the situation, A "Funster" is good enough to organise a Rally/Meet..... Advertises the venue... The dates.. Times etc.. :thumb:
About 60 funsters put their names down, and over the months some more are added, and a few ask to be taken off the list for what ever reason...
And when the Rally/Meet day arrives loads don`t turn up, and have not let the Rally organisers know they wont be coming... :Sad:
Which is a shame, as a lot of rally`s have a limit on numbers, and some organisers arrange entertainment and other activity`s... for the members benefit...
Rally organisation`s take a lot of time and effort for the benefit of member...
How could the practice of putting your name down and not turning up, be stamped out.. ???
On restricted numbers, even with a reserve list some dont turn up,,, and some who put their names down on the reserve list think they wont get in/on... so organise some thing else... which is fair enough as long as they let the organiser know, and are taken off the reserve list..
How can this practice be over come.. ???
Deposit... ???..... Advertise the meet, but only take names a few weeks before the meet.. ??? .... First to arrive at the gate on the day, and when numbers are at what has been set, turn people away... :Blush:
Shows are a different kettle of fish,,,,, you pay up front and turn up or lose your deposit..
But what about the ordinary rally in a field.... which are becoming more popular...
Is a deposit the way to go... ???
What say you...
