Dear Cuz Alice, By your graciously volunteering your car and Cada/Susan Grove doing so, transportation is no longer an issue. I thank you both very much, good troops you are! As to the Concert. I told Mayor Phillip the thoughts that had so far been expressed here as a group, the majority have spoken. He says that he wants to pay for the max they can but we will have to pick up the difference. Which is fair. The tickets are $8.50 a piece. Princess Alice our group started this with the "All for one, One for all" attitude. I was invited to come to Wales, I asked the WGS to go to Wales with me, this was done with the intention that we could bring who we wanted and pay for our group individually so it wouldn't effect things. We did not know there was going to be a space problem..this did not change until the structure of a couple events caused a hitch on how many freebee's they could give out... SO.. on that it is the standard practice when the WGS members come to a crunch we all share the problem and solve it as a group. No one gets left out or doesn't get their share. Which translates to: We will ALL share the cost of the tickets that are needed extra", that is just how we work. The Mayor wants to comp the ones he can in the budget..so we will let him. I now have to figure out how many we need to purchase etc. I need to update the chart. OH also I need to know are the Jones going to the concert also? Also I want to point out your not the last in Mary Alice Shaw is the last in =), but with this solution we all get to go and it is not a problem. I will get back to the group and tell everyone what the splits will be. The biggest thing I want to stress is NO ONE caused this, so everyone put the guilt brushes away, It is just something that happens when you organize these things, par for course.. it is how we all handle it that says who we are. And the WGS jumped up and stood the ground, as always we stay together as a group! Thanks Cuz's As to the raffle he says: "You ask about the raffle - generally people would put in anything up to £5.00 ( 8.5 dollars ) - the same price as the ticket. So if you members are happy to say purchase £5.00 worth of raffle tickets, but not anymore ! - hopefully they will win a prize and if its chocolates, they can be eaten on the bus the next day !!" So any that want can do the raffle can do so which will help them out.
