AS TO THE ANSWERS TO THE COMMENTS....
I ANSWERED THE COMMENTS TO LET PEOPLE KNOW WHY THIS WAS DONE AND THAT WAS DONE AT THE CONVENTION. I ASSUMED THAT YOU MAY HAVE WANTED ANSWERS TO THESE ISSUES OTHER WISE THER WAS NO REASON TO POST THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF THING UNLESS YOU WANTED ANSWERS. THAT'S THE WAY I LOOKED AT IT.

I was fine with all of your replies with exception of that snide little remark that you decided to slip in there.
I will say for a THIRD time, I had a great time, but there minor things I wanted to bring up. Not to blame anyone, just to give honest feedback, and as stated by others, it's a learning thing. No convention is perfect, but ignoring what others have to say mean that you will just do the same things again not knowing that people may not have liked a certain aspect the first time around.

A FINAL OF THE CAPS.
THE ART WORK WAS APPROVED BY COMMITTEE BECAUSE IT WAS PRINTED 100% CORRECT ON A TRIAL CAP., BUT IT WAS ALL THE OTHERS THAT WAS BOXED AND SHIPPED THAT WAS NOT 100%.

Having made the BIG mistake of innocently asking for feedback about the melbourne convention,i know that a public slagging competition isn't helpful.......but JOlinari has got the right idea,if you don't know about it,you can't do something about it......it didn't read like a personal flame but it seems to have been taken that way(judging by the response)....as a volunteer at melb,i know everything wasn't perfect and the food issues were amazing.....how anyone can seriously blame the organizers for apparently bad fish served by a commercial enterprise is beyond belief....but they did..... or how it was our fault that some of the attendees conducted themselves like pigs at the barbeque(by taking much more than even they could eat,then proceeded to throw it at each other)depriving others of any food is the organizers fault is hard to see...yet we were blamed for it...we made obvious mistakes accepting so many late registrations which caused major logistical problems...we didn't want to disappoint people who wanted to attend......to then have complaints about a bloody sausage is hard to take;but that is what happens. Best to take the heat out of it and to give and take CONSTRUCTIVE criticism,if there were problems that you saw,what ideas for improvement do you have?......just my 2c worth.....john;40;40;40:luv:luv:luv

TOTALLY AGREEING WITH YOU JDUNE...AT THE END OF THE DAY LET US NOT FORGET THAT THE ORGANISERS WERE NOT GETTING PAID FOR THEIR WORK AND YOU COULD SAY THAT THEY WENT BEYOND THEIR JOB DESCRIPTION TO ORGANISE THIS EVENT!
ALL MY CREDIT TO THE COMMITEE EXCEPT ONE PERSON WHO IN MY OPINION DAMAGED THE IMAGE AND REPUTATION OF THE CLUB IN FRONT OF HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AND I QUOTE THE FOLLOWING BY: CATHERINE THE GREAT "I praise loudly. I blame softly." (Catherine the Great, 1729-1796.)

IN REPLY TO FEEDBACK,
IF I WAS WONDERING WHY SUCH AS THE WHITE BOARD WAS NOT PUT IN THE FOYER, AND I GOT AN ANSWER BACK, I WOULD APPRECIATE IT.
ALSO THERE WAS A REASON FOR USING THE GRASSED AREA BY THE LAKE AND NOT THE OVERNIGHT CAR PARK
