Who me?
Not even close as it doesn't bother me, I don't get riled easily, unless shear stupidity steps in (not talking about here, just in general), so no, I'm not upset, not even one iota.

What I am doing is trying to be the voice of reason & point out the point that both sides were trying to make, which has escaped the group noting the especially lame "it wasn't put on by us" or the "not one of our official meets" excuses.

It should not matter who organized an event is what I'm saying.

Example:
Another club sets up an event, they extend invites to other groups, get lots of "I'm going" replies & then they get blown off with a ton of no shows.
They'd see it as rude & not invite said groups who blew them off again.

This'd hold true more so for show events where head count does matter fars as buying trophies, shirts, food, table reservations, etc. as it then becomes a financial thing.


Just trying to put a different perspective on this simple meet that seems to have been missed for future thoughts when people say they are going to a planned event.
Let's put it this way:
If this group planned an event, shelled allot of cash to set it up, got lots of "I'll be theres", then little to no one showed, how would "we" feel about it?

Just remember these words next time no one shows up at an "official" meet:

people have lives, things come up this is a hobby and isnt #1 on peoples prioritiy lists. just relax and come out to another meet.
