REMF 2010 - it's organisation.

[Buzzer]

re: flyers. It is pretty irrelevant point. The club has ALWAYS let us flyer outside the ground. Always.

To criticise people for not asking sooner just looks petty.

It's not petty. It's your flagship event. And just because has always let us do it does not mean that they always will, Maybe, just maybe, the club always did it because DK was chairman. I'm not for one instant suggesting that TB would not want you handing out flyers but it might be wise just to check. ..before you print the flyers.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The REMF is amateurish ?, yes I suppose it may be thats because it is run by people who just help and do what they can in their spare time for nothing and work hard when they have many other priorites like making a living. We are not UNICEF or some multi manned, paid organisation. I do find it odd that last year we won Sussex charity of the year and now people seem to have turned against it.

 

[Sheebo]

As Bozza said can't we pls stick to PM and email for these issues and not put it on here for everyone to chip in with their 2 pence worth.

Lee - Appreciate what you've said but it wouldve been better to PM Brett or Gareth.

Please can we stop this all now as it's spoiling it for those involved and there's been some excellent hard work done by Gareth / Alan / Brett ETC ETC ETC ETC thisyr...

Pls just stop

Which Gareth said they did.

So what is your point?

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

The damage done this year may well mean a lot of very good people who have busted their arse will not want to carry on after REMF 9. That is the reality of the situation. And any criticism of Brett in particular is an utter disgrace.

Why?

You'll potentially get useful feedback than can be taken on board next year to make more money.

The Friends of the Albion idea for example is a bloody good one.

Indeed.

It is just a shame some people have not put the same energy into actually getting involved and helping that they have into criticising everyone on here.

 

[Simster]

Some excellent points raised by Buzzer, IMO, but Mendoza raises the best point of all - the people who do the leg work do so by giving up their time. Whatever you think of their level of competence, this needs to be remembered.

Is the objective this year to destroy all the good work the REMf has done for 9 years and continues to do so ?.

A fag packet, a cottage industry

Gareth, when it comes to levels of effort, you're one of the good guys. We all know that. But ultimately, this thin skin of yours is doing neither yourself nor the charity any favours whatsoever. You're positively discouraging healthy debate and it is giving the impression that you're only happy when posting bits of good news and expecting "brilliant news!" or "thanks for all your hard work!" in return. Now I know that isn't your intention because of the PMs we've exchanged, but that is the impression you are giving. Since you are chairman, I think you need to rise above what you consider petty criticism.

 

[Buzzer]

...but which of the main protagonists would be allowed exclusive entry to the forum?
For what it's worth, in my little world it seems US, Brett and the others are doing a bloody good job and deserve a bit more credit as all this criticism cannot help but be taken personally by them.

They are working their socks off, I agree and it's not meant to be personal. My point that I keep going back to is that it appears that it could do with better planning and the load spread a lot more evenly.

As I have already said. I did !.

points noted, maybe I am not the best man for the future.

Leave Gareth alone.

Is it any surprise he has got defensive when you and others have laid into the REMF so openly on here. No, Gareth does not have anything to do with the team selection issue you vocally criticised. But he does care about the charity and is obviously going to react when people slag it off.

because it's the 10th thread on this sort of thing and it's getting tedious to read for everyone.

You could always volunteer to help...

Oh for God sake. I am not criticising Brett.

Can you not see that. I have praised his work again and again and acknowledged how hard people are working.

Please desist with this line that any criticism is personal. It's not.

Any positives will be taken in the future but I think its gone beyond that this year.

If people take it personally which they are I can assure you it is a real problem.

 

[Mendoza]

This sort of stuff would be good in January. When we 3 or 4 moths to come up with something to launch with in March. I agree it is good to get advice from people not involved directly with REMF.

I think because the previous beanfeast, it is being perceived as a slanging match when evidently its not

 

[Buzzer]

You could always volunteer to help...

Unfortunately I don't have the free time to. The point of this thread was to offer some constructive thoughts for future REMF games. As ever, you have chosen to view it as a personal attack.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

It is fairly coincidental that the 'suggestions' tend to come from the same three or four people who were fairly vocal in their criticism.

I will keep making the point, but anyone who genuinely wants to help could always volunteer to share some of the load.
