Vettech · « **on:** October 11, 2018, 01:41:25 PM »

The President Peter Brookes after consultation with and agreement of some of the Committee has resolved to cancell the clubs Annual Show & Shine to be held Sunday 21st Oct.

Peter cites the following:
Lack of member numbers.
Brewery's late notice of acceptance.
Brewery's contract conditions not acceptable.

Please accept my personal appollogy to the already recieved forty (40) applicants

At this time I will hold all funds untill such time as it is decided where the club goes from here.

Regards.

Perhaps the club could run a joint venture with Sydney corvettes to get the numbers Peter needs to go forward in the furture show n shines.

Just because you have planned a weekend in Sydney with Accomodation etc etc, is no reason to get stroppy.

Peter knows best..... I'm sure he does.......

I`m sure the decision is good for some one, not necessarily for those who have made plans to attend the event .
either to participate and or a visitor.
We have not seen the contractual documentation that goes with this event, which makes it hard to make an informed comment here .

I understand last year there was 48 cars and the day was a success.
with 40 cars listed so far for this year. its likely more would have come in to achieved similar numbers to last year.
C'est la vie.

These days are not all about a financial success, more about members enjoying the day out, with like mined people.

When members make long term commitments to attend pay their fees , book accommodation etc, and then it cancelled! Its a p#iss poor result for those participant's

Cancelling the event at this stage Will certainly bring about some animosity. Members will not be keen to put their hand up next year.
I understand the president who called for members to stand up! sat down on this one him self.

Very disappointed that this has been cancelled. I would be concerned for members who have paid for accommodation, are not left out of pocket by motels, guest houses etc, who dont refund.
also, because in the past we have supplied the shirts for previous show and shines, if these shirts are already ordered, they will still need to be paid for, that needs to be looked into.
I do hope by cancelling this event it does not set a precedent for the future.

Just bump this up, the last thing we want is for members to turn up on the day, and not know its cancelled.

Ive been assured that the President Peter Brookes is Emailing ALL members of the cancellation.

But if you know someone not on the Forum (and there are plenty) please feel free to advise them of the cancellation.

Thanking you in advance.

Regards.

I'm of the opinion , anyone who has had a financial loose, loose due to accommodations refunds should put a claim forward to the club, for reimbursement.

Maybe they'll hand out rain checks.

I would put a written formal request in to the committee , to cover your losses.
Present copies of all your documentation to verify your claim.
Then see what the result is.

I don't think that there will be any problem getting your money back, I just think the treasure is waiting to see if there will be a re-scheduled date or if not.
