Most of the people on here would probably wonder why your are moaning. You turned up - had your run and got your refund.
I smell a wind up WP
The loss of revenue to the club is a big hit to take - I know how important the revenue from events is, especially the main one of the year.
It is unfortunate that people had wasted journeys and the vast majority are understanding of the situation. One thing I can see as perhaps helpful for future events is having a mailing list of entants put together in an Outlook group so as soon as it is known the event is off the group email could be sent as this could be picked up via mobile for those already en-route.............? Obviously no use to the probable majority who do not have the latest mobiles but it's bases covered for no expense.
Just a thought.
