[SEL] letter to the Nat Rally organisers

[Jeff Allen]

Reg,

Far to timid. Write as you did to Adam, or better yet, let Arnie write it
for you. His wit and writing skills would certainly get their attention. My
two cents worth.

Regards,

Jeff Allen

> Sirs,
> I wish to inform you of the views of some members of the engine fraternity
> re the upcoming National Rally.
> We feel that having to pay entry for immediate family is not right.
> Unpowered camping should be free for exhibitors and their families.
> The cost of your dinner is too high.
> The rally badge is overpriced.
> These appear to be the main points that have arisen in an SEL internet
> discussion recently.
> My comments to you are that, A lot of the engine folk are retired or on
> limited finances.
> The costs incurred in bringing machinery to any event have risen due to
fuel
> costs, etc. and being faced with the prices you have quoted in the entry
> forms makes for serious thought on whether to bother coming.
> I am aware of the costs of putting on an event but, there are other ways
of
> funding.  Also, the Nat Rally should not be a profit making exercise.
>
> Sincerely,  Reg Ingold.
