Saturday's orange group should have been two groups I counted and we were pushing it numbers wise. And then and a few jump in. After we got organized I think we made it work decent. But should have split up
it was planned in two groups, and we had leaders for two groups. The leaders said they wanted one group, which I questioned if it was a good idea. In the future I will go with my gut and not allow a group that size.
as far as the food goes, i liked it and it filled me up real good. that being said, i assume the BOD got a good deal on the food and maybe that's what helped pay for the radios? because although delicious, it was a cheap meal.
over all, i have gone to 5 and they get better every year.
P.S. obstacle course> barbie jeep races
that was fun
We changed the food this year to attempt to improve that portion of the event, we did not change it to save money. We were told about other options and quite frankly it made my hungry the way she described it.
We were able to purchase the radios because we have a strong group that supports our raffle, the radios, coolers and camping is all because we spend a lot of money on the raffle, and the bod spends a lot of time making our raffle much better than others. When I took the helm of the MWC, one of my concerns was where we were with money, much to my surprise, we had a lot of it, so we started spending it on the members. We do get money from national to pay for 1/3 of the camping, but the rest is donations from our raffle.
Curious as to what happened to tech inspection? I was not inspected nor was anyone I talked to. From talking to a few people I was told that an xj got out in a group without front recovery points? I was not there to witness this but if that is true that is a serious problem and needs to be adressed. Other then that and the cheap food that was our dinner this year I loved this years WF as much as the others.
Each year we are posed with new situations that we have to overcome, the location of the bl office was a big one for us this year. We will be making changes next year.
If you remember last year, we changed our registration to the old bl office, and we were on the trails early. This year not so much.
Dan was saying something about Kyle had plans to re do the parking lot up by the dealership. I'm not dumb and I know why he wants us and everyone else up there. It's to pimp his Polaris stuff.
Dan said no such thing, Dan did say they need to change the lot.
Kyle never wanted us up there for his profit, WE wanted to be there to help simplify things for the members. One location for two stops.
With the raffle, I heard people were complainging they didn't win. Lets just be thankful MWC buys awesome members grand prizes, and that our sponsors hook it up every year and theres great things raffled off. Yes theres nothing you can do if someone buys 2-300 in tickets, but atleast that money is going to a good place.
.
Every year we hear the same complaint. This year we spent nearly $200 on ticket tumblers to mix things up. I personally spent over $200 on raffle tickets and won a t shirt and local food coupons. Of course I want to win big, who doesn't? However my attitude is that I'm supporting the club, win or lose. We cant have the event that we do if we don't have money, the only way we get money is through the raffle, and we do good.
I don't want my responses to sound defensive, because they aren't intended to be, please read them as explanations, not defense.
