Sure lots of people who attended would be pleased to know........again great job by the promoters atb Tezza Hi Tezza, If you look in lookbacks for the all-dayer you will see what was decided over the money raised on the day or go into the website and that will keep you informed of events. First of all we would like to say a big thank you to you all for supporting this event and the kind remarks we have received, A BIG THANK YOU. But at the moment our thoughts are with Julie & family, we have just spoken to Julie and she has informed me to let you all know of the tragic circumstances. Mark Rubenzer aged 44 died of massive heart attack and there would have been nothing that anybody could have done to save him, but Julie would like to thank all those involved in their efforts to try and save him. Julie also stated that Mark was having a good time surrounded by all his friends and his love of the music. We have also just come back from a meeting with the management at the Castle over next years event which will take place on the 21st August 2010, as you know this event was going to be in memory of June Leighton who sadly passed away this year and all profits going to Cransley Hospice, but after the tragic circumstances of this year, this also must go ahead in Memory of Mark as well, and to the charity that Julie decides. We raised this year through the Raffle and the All-Dayer CD in the region of £500.00 as we actually ran out of raffle tickets, will give you the correct amount soon, and we would like to say a big thank you, now i have thought hard & long over the last day and have decided to put the money into a separate high interest account to make money, this will then go with next years amount and be split between the 2 Charities. Next year we expect more that would like to come, but we are going to cap it at 600 and tickets will go on sale in the website soon. www.freewebs.com/soulinthehind Kind regards Kev & Gloria Bourne Now the total on the day raised was £537.00, but this has now gone up to £652.00 due to selling the Wellingborough All-Dayer CD from the Website, Bury Masonic and at Barnstaple Weekender, this is kept updated in the website for you to see. Why we are here we have just received confirmation from Cancer research of the money we raised at the Barnstaple Weekender and this will be put into the website later today. We know that Alan's charity next year will be Cransley Hospice which is part of the cancer research organization and i will contact Julie at a later date to find which charity she wishes to use.

Guest gordon russell Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 No need for a negative tone mate,just asking a question......you advertised heavily on SOUL SOURCE at every opertunity for your event nowt wrong with that and it clearly said all profits for CANCER RELIEF/RESEARCH.....yet after 6 weeks...nothing about it,til you are prompted......by the way looking at the pictures it looked great,not seen a place that packed for years and friends of mine that did go said it was a blinding day.....we were going to come,but l woke up with a bad headache that wouldn't go away......atb tezza Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

You can believe it or not that is your choice, but as we have said in the website all you have to do is ring me and i will give you a breakdown of the cost for such an event. Now my aim is for next year i hope is to make a large sum for the 2 charities and we now have £652.00 at the moment, my target is £2,000 plus.

Wrongcrowd Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 I think Tes has made a fair point, and asked a fair question. If an event has been advertised as all profits going to charity which is highly commendable gesture, then it's reasonable to expect that to be the case. I've checked on the events lookback thread, and unless I've misunderstood, a total of 567 pounds was made from the raffle and CD sales, and that's the amount now held pending a decision on the charity. I couldn't find any mention of other profits made from the 600 attendees who each paid 6 pounds entry. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I couldn't find any mention of other profits made from the 600 attendees who each paid 6 pounds entry. First of all we have stated in our website on all these issues, but now we are here we will explain to you all. Short Breakdown Total outgoing £3,355.00 Total incoming £3,566.00 Total for 2010 Charities is £642.00 due to selling 15 more CDs through website and at Bury (at our cost) Total now at £652.00 due to sale of another couple of CDs Also the 40CDs we sold on the day with the car stickers was also at our cost. All CDs at our cost. Advertising throughout the year for this event does not come cheap, we had 2 big adverts in Manifesto and another big advert in the Bridlington mag, then there is the flyers, it costs us around £20.00 in ink to run 200 off and i must have sent out over the year 10,000 flyers, we have not accounted for them all, so something else at our cost. Kitty for 2010 All-Dayer £183.00, this came about by one DJ who never turned up on the day through illness. Please Remember at OUR COSTS: TIME throughout the year promoting this event, making flyers & tickets, free badges, free car stickers and not to mention the numerous phonecalls and meetings with venue staff. Myself & Gloria have worked very hard to get this all-dayer where it is today, and we should not have to come on our website and explain our actions, but when we have allegations being said behind our backs, we have no choice. Costs: Venue hire, DJs, Sound Systems, Security & Door, Advertising, Hotel, Wristbands, Ink & Paper, Stamps, Envelopes & Deposit for 2010 venue. We just wanted to put the record straight before anyone else makes any more allegations. Regards Kev & Gloria Bourne Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Wrongcrowd Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) Short Breakdown Total outgoing £3,355.00 Total incoming £3,566.00 I don't think anyone on here is making allegations, just asking a question. If the costs of the all-dayer were genuinely 3,355 then fair enough, but you've got to agree your costs were extremely high for a single all-day event. Could you not have asked DJs to provide services for free given the charitiable cause ? Edited October 5, 2009 by Wrongcrowd Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
