Mazoc 2013 bbq - CANCELLED!

I think the problem is, the events are planned 2 to 3 months out, and of course everyone will be available 2 or 3 months out, but then the closer you get to the event, surprise! Things turn up.

I don't buy this. If this is true we are all very selfish/inconsiderate people and I don't believe that.

Planning events 2-3 months in the future is the ONLY way to go about it since most of us are adults that have busy lives and a finite amount of time on weekends. The problem is that "things that come up" are allowed to take precedence over events people have already committed to attend but like I said, that won't change unless you start to charge people dues and have enforced bylaws etc and I don't think anyone here wants that.

Not just talking about this one event either. This exact scenario has played out over and over. Off the top of my head: in the original headlight mod event (probably for the best), the dinner in Annapolis and the one Randy cruise in which I/we participated. People confirm and then wait until a day or two before to back out or aren't even that polite and just don't show up and make some excuse later. I would challenge anyone here to point to a club event in the past two years where we have had a quorum.

What everyone needs to realize is that we want to go to these events because they are group activities. You are actively screwing people over if you wait until a day before/day of to decide you're not going because some(?) of us actually like being part of this club and scheduling our free time around club events.

(Sorry, that's a lot of words but figured it was all worth saying - just my two cents)
