Organising events when nobody turns up.

More power to your elbow Frank.

I suggest that their not turning up to events you 'organise' means they are pissed off with your behaviour. I suggest that you Take The Hint.

That was an answer to your bit about the rules being changed only for you. Don't you see that it's the other club members' way of saying "Stop it, Frank!" ?

Either that or they want you to get so pissed off with them that you'll leave the club.

Maybe because nobody else abuses the rules, Frank.

Bags

The problem is they are not changing the rules for anybody else.
I have organised three 5 mile walks and gone to do the walk by myself the day before to check all is ok and nobody turned up even though a dozen phoned to say they would be coming on each occasion.
That was most annoying.

Other members have organised things in the same way and people do turn up.

Frank

Frank Please tell me you are winding us up. As Absent says what exactly did you organise. As I see it you just told people what was on at the theatre. I'm suprised that a man of your principles can be so money grabbing.

If what you say is true, you are interpreting the rules too literally rather than using them in the spirit in which they were made. So I don't blame the other members for wanting to change the rules to stop you fleecing the club.

I think you are running a racket, Frank. Chancer.

If you had to buy your own tickets and travel by train, what exactly did you organise?

anno I could include a bucksfizz in with the breakfast package with a few slices of smoked salmon one has to keep up appearances even at that time of the morning I might add.

Hi ginny

It was buy your own tickets direct from the theatre if you wanted to go and the transport to the theatre was the train.
I will get my £5.

Frank

So Frank if you organised a theatre trip, who paid for the tickets that nobody wanted ? Was there a coach ? Who paid for that ? I think you are pulling our legs !

Not much socialising then?

Just come back from the Lichfield Garrick Social Club event tonight.
1 member attended.

Frank

Is that for breakfast after a 5am run, glamma?

The next event that you decide to organise give me a call I only charge a reasonable £195.00 for a standard buffet for 30 which would accompany your event and surely bring in more members and it can be served in your club house/meeting room.

Any events on the first of April?

HUNTERF So, having organised it, did you go for a run at 5am on a Sunday morning?

Just mystified about the whole situation, Frank. It strikes me that it's time your club changed its rules about organisers getting paid but not by results!

I cannot imagine why people don't turn up.

annodomini

Why are you mystified.
5am is a good time to run.
Nobody gets in your way.

Frank

Deedaa I remember Pippa Dee parties. In my newly married struggling financially days I always felt obliged to buy something. And buying a 'party
Susan' at a Tupperware party which rarely saw the light of day. Always went along as everyone else was going. Happy days!

Mystified!

I could not afford the train fare + a night at the theatre. I would also have to spend a night at a hotel as I doubt that trains would be running to London quite so late.

My London pension would not stretch that far.

Many years ago I was coerced into having a Pippa Dee party (Remember them?) I hadn't lived in the area long and although I handed out invitations only one of my neighbours turned up. The three of us sat round eating the cakes I had made and my neighbour and I felt duty bound to order something. I have NEVER agreed to do anything like it again
