The fact is that the people that stay for two nights do not cost the club more money, they actually end up spending more (food & booze) and the club would be foolish to charge people more to stay longer.

    All I was saying is that you aren't being excluded, just asked for fifty bucks - which at the end of the day is not all that much money. You have the choice to go and pay or not, but at least you get that choice.

    I read about your accident and I must say that it was a right fucker of a thing to happen, you seem to have a great attitude about it though which must help get you through it.
    But in the case of the Cold Kiwi I just don't see it working out offering cheap day rate passes, especially when it doesn't make sense to encourage riders to just come for the day and to hand over less cash. Next Cold Kiwi I'd be happy to throw a tenner your way to help you pay the fifty if it is just too much for you, be easier than seeing the club screwed over like Jelly was saying has happened when they tried offering cheaper day passes.
    I understand what youre saying, I guess I reply simply by saying not everyone is on the take and we shouldnt treat everyone like they are

    That's a fantastic sentiment...but just not a possibilityin this day. Absolutelythere are less people who would take advantage than not, but when something is run for pleasure rather than profit there is simply no room to absorb those cunts.

    it's an age old thing, not everyone is but it's always the rest who pay for them stuffing it up. The club spent $20K on the first block of flush toilets getting them and the infrastructure in, and consent. the first year the rally opened at 3pm by 10 past some maggot had jammed a toilet roll down each and every bowl.
    As private messaged Skippa, approach the club with your details well before the rally and they may well look after you, there may even be a way for you to stay the night suitably, you will have to pay full price for that one though.
