Mad Dogs 5 30th November Booked!

[FPVSteve]

Yea you know what they say about mixing business with pleasure :(

[EverythingFPV]

That's totally fair enough & we understand but our sponsorship & presence was requested.

Im sure there will be a good reason why you haven't heard back from Rich, he is a very reasonable guy. Prob busy with work or something.

I for one hope you do come, and bring some display products. I can understand if you cant sell stuff there but showing off your products is fine id of thought.

I wana see your tracker and winter tent thingy.  ;D

Maybe Rich has to be careful not to commercialise this get-together?

Hasn't the meet been commercialized the second sponsoring and prices have been accepted?
I personally don't see the difference there.

The money is to cover the club house :) commercial = profit :)

I wana see your tracker

Exactly, +1 to that

My phone calls & messages are not being returned. Something is going on here....

Come on Rich, we're happy to attend & provide sponsorship for your event as you have asked us to. We really have no interest in taking over or turning it into a mass market. All we wanted to do was come down & fly with some cool guys, showcase some of our kit & maybe bring a few items for people to have a look at & possibly buy if they asked us for them.

If we wanted to sell loads of gear we have a website, Facebook & eBay etc for that.

We just wanted to come out & play :(

[DaveyLC]

Lets give him a chance :) He does work for him self and has a family so I guess his life is pretty hectic.

I'm aware of the entry fee.
I was actually referring to the prices for the competitions.

It is a bit of a tricky one really, though I don't belive, that anyone would think that he HAS to buy something, just because there is a stall with things.
I mean, we are all experienced modellers, that know, where to get our shit and what to pay for.

I think we should avoid this topic... Rich is a great guy and dedicated to this hobby, he's organised many successful meets at his own cost, there's no agenda... In my books he's a top bloke!

Lets just assume he's busy until he confirms otherwise? :)

Can't make it due to work :censored: Have a great time guys.

Yes of course we know he's a top bloke & we're more than happy to do whatever is asked of us.

It should be a good meet & we're happy to be a part of it in any way we can ;)

Hi guys. Well this thread had been tarnished pretty bad now.

The whole point of the Mad Dogs meets were members meeting up and having a fly together. It is not a commercial event, it never has been. It is always conducted with high spirits and a lot of time and effort put in by Richard.

It is Richards event and I fully respect that he does not want it sponsered or to have stalls present because that is totally not what the event is about at all.

Simon offered up some antennas as a price, on high spirit, not wanting anything back, no plugs etc to bring a bit of fun and incentive to the challenges. He was not a sponor, nor was a store getting setup or sale tents being setup.

Wanting the event to be in association with a company is the wrong thing to do, it's not in association with anyone. It's a group of like minded people getting together for a fun fly day.

If you want an EFPV fun fly day then set one up. Build your meets up, pay for food, pay for facilities, pay for rent and go from there. Do not pressure someone to climb on their back to take credit for something you have had no part at all making what it is today.

Mad Dogs meet is in association with no body, sponsered by no-one. It's a public get together of members from this forum to have fun.

Business has absolutely no part to play in this meet.

Ok so we got to talk to Rich & all is now good, the rumour mill is officially shut down!

We ARE still sponsoring the speed trials challenge & are happy to do so - a promise is a promise, we're not letting anyone down there! ;)

We WILL be attending the event & as stated previously we'll be there to hang out chat & have a good day out & hopefully fly some cool stuff with some good company.

Happy days!! Looking forward to it - we were just worried we were no longer welcome ;)
