Didn't want to post this previously as I didn't want it to effect who did/didn't go but ultimatley £45 for an organised potential 20+ RRday is a bit on the steep side IMO. This may certainly be the reason why some peeps have been put off.
Oh and I don't appreciate being labled a 'Culprit' after putting family commitments first! :confused:

Considering you knew the price (same as last year and posted in advance) whilst trying to persuade me to choose the 26th, I find this a little odd Nathan. Unless you mean you’re fine with £45 but others may not have been; in which case thanks for the feedback. Family always comes first, culprits was a tongue in cheek generalisation but the fact remains that many people said they could make the 26th and then backed out (for whatever reason). This wasn't appreciated either.

In fairness Dave I had forgotten the price and having now done a few more RR days (one of which I organised) it does seem a bit on the steep side.
I am well aware that organising these things is a real pain at the best of times and I for one am very gratefull for the efforts you put in.
People backing out of organised events on forums is par for the course, the trick is to not let it bother you! :wink: :happy2:
:grouphug:

I've just organised one with the local VW forum. £30 each and on a Dyno Dynamics roller like Weston's. I to would be disappointed and frustrated if committed people backed out.
For me it wasn't the price or anything else for that matter (otherwise I'd have backed out of the 'Ring tour), I had said even in my initial postings that it would depend on the dates, as I work mornings, afternoons and nights at weekends and only get 2 weekends off out of 5. It just happened that when the dates were posted (after I'd said I was interested - date dependant), they were both committed weekends and I couldn't get anyone to swap. Otherwise I would have been there EVEN though I have another one on the 10th October and a private rolling road set-up (for pre-BT log comparison) locally just after. :smiley:
I can really understand Dave's frustration and disappointment and appreciate the effort he made to try and get it to happen. I hope it hasn't soured his view of the forum and I personally hope we'll be able to try again at some point in the future. :grouphug:

The cars will mainly be old skool cars - probably even a campervan :laugh:
