   All,

My posts on the proposed national meet for 2005 may have seemed less than constructive. They are not intended to be destructive, rather to point out some fairly big problems with organising such an event.

I propose a survey, with the following questions, with simple yes/no answers. If you can’t give a definite yes, then say no.

Q1. Would you attend a two day National Blockfest held on the second weekend June 2005 at a cost of $100 (plus accom and transport) in the following cities:
a) Brisbane?
b) Sydney?
c) Melbourne?


Probably not, maybe, yes

   Q2. a) Would you be prepared to put up $100 as ‘seed funding’ for such an event to a nominated individual, with the understanding that this $100 would not be returned to you, but that it might offset your $100 fee mentioned in Q1 if the event were held in:
a) Brisbane?
b) Sydney?
c) Melbourne?

maybe, probably, yes

  
Q3. Would you be prepared to accept overall responsibility for organising the event (venue, insurance, holding the funds, etc)?


yes...but would appreciate assistance

   Q4. Would you be prepared to assist with the event activities, but not taking any real responsibility for the event (venue, insurance, funding etc).


Yes

   This covers what it would take to get it moving (actually, Q4 doesn’t, it just provides something fun to think about).

With answers from those interested, we can calculate the possible cash float for Blockfest for each potential venue.

Of course, if no one answers Yes to Q3, it’s all academic...

I’ll compile answers (either posts or emails).

Cheers

Richie Dulin
