Well I can't say I'm disappointed. I started feeling really pressured.
There wasn't enough setup time and resources were not confirmed.
The Chilawak show is just too far, too large an expense, unless they were
willing to make it worth our while. Apart from Charity events, I think,
from now on, we know exactly how the club will benefit up front. the last
show we did profited from us greatly and I don't think we will see a cent.
I am working on The Bay to see if we can get a spot in there. Is there any
interest? If there is I'll push it more.
