Welsh National Bike show - a follow up

[b-f-c]

Got this through our old business email address, as I used to trade there.

A letter from the organiser - Steve Bennett.

Fair play to him for still going for it - hope he pulls it off.

“YOU’VE GOT TO FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO PARTY”

I’m pretty sure that most of the people reading this have tapped their foot, sung along with, shouted or danced to this track at some time at a rally or show somewhere.

The question is “Would you really”?

We are, and it’s bloody difficult.

We have had a lot of support and help so far. I won’t try and name everyone because I would probably miss someone out and that would be insulting.
THANK YOU ALL.

Unfortunately a lot of people have claimed their 2008 their advanced ticket money back through either Paypal and Cardnet.
I now owe both of these systems money and they are both now closed to me. I sent letters to everyone who bought advanced tickets explaining the situation. I have tried to keep people informed with other letters and articles and interviews and E/mails.
Some people apparently either don’t care or aren’t prepared to wait.

I have NOT been contacted by either the BMF or by MAG, (despite being an ex regional rep for MAG) neither have I been offered any practical help or support by either organisation.

So why am I writing this?

I would like to ask everyone who cares about our fight to put on bike shows to

“Buy us a pint”

If all the people who have enjoyed our shows donated the price of a pint then we would have enough money pay the deposits and “pre show expenses” needed to put together a show.

So far our applications to hire venues for a 2009 show have been turned down by 19 venues.

The best excuses so far have included, “We are always busy on that weekend, and we wouldn’t be able to fit you in”
“We have some serious site improvements to do”
(Which doesn’t seem to be affecting any other event on that showground)
And the all-time classic
“We are in Dyfed-Powys which might cause us a problem”

WE HAVE A 2009 VENUE
Please watch out for further announcements
Now I have to find a lot of “set up” money.

So would you “Buy us a pint” so that we can

“STILL FIGHTING”
