Greetings, I put a charity event on last year in Gainsborough and invited well known Dj's including our special guest Mary Chapman, so from my point of view charging £3.00 to get in was not ripping the paying punter off with a wealth of non-knowledge, as for clashing with other nights I planned and posted 6 months in advance when no other events were on, I will be doing one this year with a similar format and have selected a date not to clash. Last year we raised £674.15 [ don't ask about the 15p] which went to the air ambulance the Dj's were offered petrol money which some declined, I have been asked to put more events on but won't because I do agree that there comes a time when folk get fed up with the charity do, so imho once a year is enough.
