That's fantastic, and I'm glad it's going ahead.

That's why I assumed the organizers were sending him money...so he wouldn't easy the costs.Snickit":2jbjfdkc said:ardyer":2jbjfdkc said:I was assuming the event organizers would just be sending fimm PayPal...
If the event is free there's nothing to send him and it's not fair for Fimm to be out of pocket for being such a tremendous chap.

As the principle organizer of this year's North American event (and a Sunday organizer of the last two), I'm well aware the lack of money being made on these events.Snickit":1vz3y2cm said:ardyer":1vz3y2cm said:That's why I assumed the organizers were sending him money...so he wouldn't easy the costs.Snickit":1vz3y2cm said:ardyer":1vz3y2cm said:I was assuming the event organizers would just be sending fimm PayPal...

But the organisers aren't making money either (well the Foundry will as we buy food and mini whilst there but they aren't really organising it, just organising the venue) but attendance is basically free.
Everyone who's involved in the set up is donating their time (especially Gaj/Weazil) and whilst that's precious there shouldn't be any significant out of pocket expenses for it.

But I also recognize that as the promoter, sometimes it's our lot to have to eat some expenses. If attendees want to help us out our if we want to charge attendees to recoup those costs, that's to be decided later and isn't really germane to how Fimm's cost is minimized.
A raffle system is fine with me, I don't mind not being out of pocket for the NA allocation. I was initially only staying that I had assumed the event organizers were picking up our proportional cost.Snickit":1tr4g3z4 said:ardyer":1tr4g3z4 said:As the principle organizer of this year's North American event (and a Sunday organizer of the last two), I'm well aware the lack of money being made on these events.Snickit":1tr4g3z4 said:ardyer":1tr4g3z4 said:That's why I assumed the organizers were sending him money...so he wouldn't easy the costs.Snickit":1tr4g3z4 said:ardyer said:I was assuming the event organizers would just be sending fimm PayPal...

Fair do's I just would of thought that as a community we wouldn't want anyone to be unduly out of pocket. The £40 or £50 is easily picked up by a large number hence why I suggested a raffle, that way people can contribute as much as they like, it's their choice and is a little nicer than just asking for a voluntary contribution.
Each to their own really.

I think the plan here was to distribute them at our event. I'm assuming I can get a group shipping rate on the NA models?Golgfag1":3931vjbq said:Apparently, we have sixteen to eighteen people prepared to put their hands in their wallet, to see this happen and ensure Fimm isn't out of pocket for the generous application of his talents; given there's already a hundred pounds in the kitty - we're only looking for about five pounds a piece to cover the postage to the outer colonies and if, others were to pledge - the required contributions diminish. Anything over and above - I'm sure Fimm will find a suitable use.
Fimm are you happy to distribute you paypal account details via personal messages?
Come on folks, make this happen and start sending those PM's WE all benefit from this
