If it's not too late, can I come?
I'm sorry folks but this has to be said.
In my opinion
130 people at £5 a head =£650 is a bit expensive and I think the cost could come down cos most people wouldnt want anything to eat as its been proven before.
Could we have breakdown of the cost please, sorry to be a pain but the last social got pelters cos of questions not being asked before hand.
I for one, would rather people felt at ease rather than moaning to others about anything concerned with the social and cause it to be cancelled.
Hope you all understand
got to agree with woo here ...£650 is a hell of a lot of money for a social ...not taking into account the non-refundable monies ..if people cant go there'll be other £5's on top ......
we recently did a social in darlington last weekend and the price was £3 per head ...we had roughly 90 people turn up and made a healthy sum for charity ....after the room was payed for there was approx £300 for charity which included the money made when a hat was put round, which made about £80.
We are more than happy to pay £5 per head for the social...I know how hard it is to organise a social.I for one will be eating,laughing and having a ball .Thumb's up to Mr & Mrs play for arranging everyting..
We will be sending our payment asap..

The price of per person is to ensure we cover our costs, as this is the first time we have held a social we want to ensure that everyone has a great night.
Everyone is working on the assumption that 130 people will attend the social, however, if we charge £3 or £4 per head and only 100 people attend then we will be out of pocket. There has been a lot of interest in the social but this does not guarantee that everyone who has shown an interest will attend.
As for the money that is left over it will be going to a registered charity National Association of Disabled Bikers (NADB) as you all know Mr Play is a keen biker, this charity is close to his heart.
We have read the rules regarding holding a social and they state (1) people can ask for a list of people attending and (2) to ensure that we don’t ask anyone who is band from the site, with this in mind there is no requirement to have a break down of our expenditure.
BUT;
All receipts will be made available on the night if anyone would like to see them.
As for the buffet surely it is up to the people organising the social if they want to have the buffet or not it is our choice that we provide a buffet on this occasion.
As for attending a function for £3 per person then having a raffle, this can take the price up to and over £5 per person as most people will spend about £2 or £3 on buying raffle tickets etc. At the end of the day we want everyone to have a great time and it’s up to the individuals if they wish to attend or not, if people feel £5 is too much to pay then that is their choice but please don’t discourage anyone else from attending.
We hope too see you on the night
Hugs and kisses

Thanks for replying and please take our names off the list so that another couple can take our place.
Thank you.
Sorry! But I had no idea that by asking a reasonable question in order to try and stop a repeat of what happened to a few of the last socials that were organised, I would be discouraging people from attending, please accept my apologises, have a good night and we hope you raise lots for your charity.
Woo, I thought that your request was not only reasonable but a damn good idea. I saw it as a positive step to stamp out the usual moans and groans that are so often discussed behind the organisers backs. I don't know of anyone who has been discouraged from attending.
I am very happy to pay for the night out and think it is reasonable,please!! lets all get in there and support the people who are brave enough to organise a night so that we can all have a great time.
hi playncum
can you add us to list if not to late .....thanks

Can I ask a question altho after the last person got shot down in flames for asking one !! I am wary to do so.
If I send my £5 and the social is cancelled for whatever reason.. Do I get a refund? cos I was stung once before by a social last year, I know it's only £5 but it's the principle of the thing.
I know of lots of peoples who were promised a refund from that one and are still waiting.
Hopefully this one won't fall by the wayside and it will be the first of many in Fife organised by you.
Just a question nothing more,and I have asked it because I see that the amount of people that have asked to go by posting here, only adds up to about 60 or so and we have already lost 2 cos woohoo has cancelled.
Can we provisionally add names to list please?
