I EXPRESSED INTEREST EARLY BEFORE ANY MAJOR PLANNING HAD TAKEN PLACE, PRICE AGREED ETC. I'VE BEEN WATCHING THE THREAD SINCE WAITING TO SEE HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE ACTUALLY SERIOUS AND CLEARLY IT'S NOT LOOKING GOOD. FOR ME THE OVERALL COST WHEN IT'S OBVIOUSLY NEVER GOING TO BE AN EXCLUSIVE DAY (FOR WHICH I COULD OF JUSTIFIED A BIT MORE) IS TOO HIGH SO I WON'T BE ATTENDING.

Sorry for shouting I just wanted to be sure Kev could hear all the way up on that horse of his.

Price is too high?Roll eyes

As has been clearly stated in the thread about the trackday it's cheap for the time of the year,exclusive or notRoll eyes

Are you Pugplus in disguise?(wasting peoples time/not sticking to your word/got a big chip on your shoulders)Yes

Can you not read?

I said if it was exclusive I could justify the cost, seeing as it won't be I can't. It's not hard to understand and is simply my opinion and how I feel about it.

If I wanted to do a non exclusive day I would do one closer to home with whoever, I put my name down as I was interested in a forum trackday which it isn't really going to be by the seems of it.

The person with the attitude/chip on their shoulder is clearly you, labelling everyone that isn't now coming to the day as timewasters/slackers but to be honest until you can come up with a better argument or point towards me than Pugplus comments (Zzz) and other general dribble I can't be bothered to argue with you Thumbs up

Oooo where did you book that? I couldn't find a Saturday session until end of the year!

Mine will probably be off the road having the bodies mapped and coilovers set up still then. Actually I'm out the country that bloody weekend anyway!

If you find Combe again on a Saturday this summer, let me know and il book it.

    IF people booked up, then the day WOULD be exclusive. Yes
    But because a lot of people haven't moved on this, confidence has gone down leaving people who would otherwise have booked not doing so as the day seems like it won't be exclusive.

    It's the same as shares...when the share price dips a little people get scared and sell up, thus making the value go down again and more people selling until the remaining shares are pretty much worthless. Yes

    IF everyone booked who said they would, the day would be exclusively for the forum and no-one would have a gripe. No

    I did have a ford once. A 6 year old mk3 fiesta. Was rotten even back then.

    I'm going to rallyday. Will keep an eye out for you.

    If I'm honest Stan, the problem starts the minute you say could be 125, at worst 200. Could be here, could be there. Could be this date, could be that one.

    People think of the better price, no money changes hands so they type a few characters and express an interest.

    Mug thread. Half one buy one. And that's a £10 mug. Unfortunately gnrlee will probably be out of pocket for a while as he trusted the list.

    If it was a case of 'I've secured a £200 day, it's at such and such a track on this day, pay me now if you want to come - then straight away you would see who the serious people were.

    The day would never of been gaurenteed to be exclusive. Me, Spiky and loads of others did a day at Combe and there was what, 9 205s? Was only because of a heads up on the 205 forum. Was 30 odd slots. Half were free and if you wanted to do it, you had to do it daily quick. Luckily a load of
    205 lads did, and we practically had our own little exclusive day with some other cars to play with.

    I see your point Dan, but you've got to have some sort of discussion on the topic first.
    For example if Jeffers came up with the idea and said it's this price on this day, no doubt half the people would say "I can't make that date otherwise I would have come" or "Couldn't we have a list of possible dates so we can all vote and majority rules".

    Decisions like this have to be made before anyone can do any booking and therefore it *can* cause the issues you've described, although without discussing it first I think it would make things even more impossible.

    Stans right here, i did the best i could to please everyone by posting dates and venues and trying to go with the majority, i've even had it organised so you could book up and pay later? what more was i supposed to do? I wasn't willing to take deposits as i dont want to be responsible for all that money which was why and exclusive direct hire didn't happen as i'd of had to sign to say i was guaranteeing that the circuit would have 10k by such a date and i've not got that kind of money to lose. I'm just really disappointed in the way this has gone, i mean people were complaining about the way the forum was going i tried to get a bit of the old spirit back we used to have when events were plentiful and people got involved instead in the end the most people have said they wanted to go now it comes to booking they dont want to know, and cant even have the decency to come up with a reason or excuse. Just for the record come the end of the week i'll be ringing Stuart and csancelling if the response gets no better. Then i will find some suitable dates with a pre organised trackday company and negotiate a group booking. Then those who still want to attend and have a beer that night can still do so.
