No Hello, just P4C.

[snoopy1239]

Does a winner of a chairty comp really require a trophy.

What would you have me smash instead?!?!

Lol, if anyone SHOULDN'T be critisising the cost of trophies it's Mr Raab after his juggling act in Luton. 

Was the one in Hamilton a P4C event, Flushy?

Shut it luckbox

[snoopy1239]

Lol, it was a serious question.

[Royal Flush]

Lol, it was a serious question.

I don't think so, i might be wrong though.

I still haven't collected that bounty for killing of Chessa, that was a great fun game though.


I had 2 P4C winners trophies, both sat up nicely by my desk, i rocked back in my chair a bit to hard and knocked them both off. The one i really liked smashed (was from the event rob sponsored), the other, a somewhat cheaper trophy survived.

Definitely.

Quick final table though, huh?

[the-oneeye]

As far as im concerned Trophies are important, the little tournys i run the trophies are what make people come back, as it happens i pay for them myself, which really i have to, because Its my job to get people in the seats. With regards to the buffet, in cardiff for instance im pretty sue that we paid for it in advance with a £10 fee. These tourneys that p4c organise go on for a long time, the christmas one in nottingham race course there wasnt a buffet and after 6 hours play everyone was starving. In the end davey managed to get the staff to russle ups up some chips,but only because satty kept on knawing at his leg.

Yeah was a bit mad, i think the silly filming they did at the beginning of the final took longer than the final itself what with all the giggling.

Happy Christmas and a peaceful New Year to you and yours Tony 

Have a good Xmas m8, hope you and the clan are all well!

Thank you, hope you and your families are well.

Well that should calm things down a bit ...... Have a pop at people who use THIS forum, AND people who spend a lot of time at a computer.

1)   No “pop” at anyone. If you are into forums, that your choice and I respect that.
2)   I spend as much time as anyone on a computer as using them are a major part of my job.

p.s the word is "pander", not pamper.



Pomposity must be catching....

Sorry about that. But what does it matter anyway, you seemed to have missed the point about what I am saying. And with regard to "pompous". So, I come across as pompous in the written word. I'll survive (hopefully long enough to get to the bottom of whats been going on with the charity).

Thank you for posting and expect to hear from you again at some time in January (another 18 days or so). 

It may be another 18 days, who knows?  But it WILL be done as soon as possible. I can do no more.



In short, give it a rest guys. I - along with Andy - really do want to sort this out.

have to say you seem to be the perfect volunteer for a charity. If you pay for the trophies yourself and cover your own expenses etc I would suggest you should have been running p4c from the start yourself and I bet the 30/70 split would have been reversed as you wouldn't have had such exorbitant expenses at each event.

[North Angel]

In answer to the comment above the buffet at most fundraisers we hold we are 'tied' to having the buffet provided by the hosts at a fixed price per person expected. Not always ideal, just the way it is.

So if the expected number of people don't turn up we still have to cover the cost.

after the closure. Accommodation had already been secured by Game For Life in respect of this event and participants were due to repay Game For Life for this accommodation on their arrival.

[TightEnd]

thank you for coming on to explain further Ang, it is much appreciated I am sure


Just out of interest, would the hotel not refund the £1500 to a charity where the cancellation was clearly no fault of the charity? I expect they resold the rooms, or at least they usually try to in such circumstances.

Seems a bit mean spirited (name and shame!!)

[the-oneeye]

Im pretty sure they did sell the rooms i phone up to make a booking the next day and they said they had some available, the following day they told me they had none.
With regard to the trophies the only exspense we have had is we paid £75 for our player of the year trophies, also the van road tax was covered for £97.

But if you followed my thread on the other posts you will know that my setup costs and running over that period was over £4000 all which i covered as i had been doing very well online. The fact that we have made ovr £2000 just shows that even on  a small scale its hard work. But in the next year our running costs should be next to nothing at all.

In case your wondewring what the hell im going on about im talking the cosmo club that we set up.
