| I've been in contact with Peter Brooking and he would like me to relay this message:
"Hi David,
Thanks, yes we had seen the thread. I'm sorry that one of your Club members was unhappy, it certainly wasn't our intention to upset anyone!
As you will appreciate, DUK is a small part of the WDW jigsaw & we took the exhibition truck so that everyone could have a look in it (unfortunately we have to put Perspex covers over the displays in the unit because otherwise items get stolen - this has happened..).
We also put the marquee on the back so that UK people had somewhere to sit & relax - & leave their gear / bikes where DUK staff were always present. We also had table football & a dart board up plus a notice board with event details.
We did not provide food / drink for people to buy because we felt this would be well looked after by the event generally. We did have water etc available FOC.
Shell UK were also present & handed out lots of free goodies..We also had our technical staff on hand to assist with any bike related issues (very few as it turned out).
We also arranged an autograph signing session in our area with James Toseland & Paul Smart. Finally, we also presented trophies for the 'best UK bike' (as judged by Paul Smart) & for the furthest travelled UK visitor.
Having said all that I am more than happy to listen to comments from people who attended the event - I think the Club knows we try to do our best but will always try to improve.
Please make your members aware that I would appreciate their constructive feedback & suggestions - we will then try to incorporate their views into our planning for 2006.
Thanks & kind regards
Peter"
I don't honestly think that you can grumble at that!  |
