Sorry I could only stay for a swift couple. I really don't trust me and the last train home to Budapest. Met a couple of new folk and I've forgotten names already, sorry I didn't meet Kevlegs, maybe next time.

| | Re: Social Pool Night | Quote: | |  | | | It will be a long time before it happens again (if ever)... | | | | | Well I hope there'll be another pool evening again soon. I greatly enjoyed meeting so many interesting people.
One thing which needs addressing though is payment for tables: I hope you were not left in the lurch and having to subsidise. Everyone who played did contribute to JLF in some manner, I hope?

Everyone who played did contribute to JLF in some manner, I hope? | | | | | Everything was fine... probably b/c UPH paid for table 40. If I had to cover another 100CHF or so, I could have been in trouble. I never worry about these things b/c I figure if you have been brought up "right", you will come by, say goodnight and exchange a few other niceties, and pay for what you played. If not, well, then I hope you don't come back again anyway and feel karma will sort out the rest.
Maybe I should be more strict, but the social/lighthearted aspect of the night is really ruined by such talks. If consensus rules, and you guys want a flat "entrance fee" for the night of pool, we can do that too. Just voice it here so I know for future events. | Quote: | |  | | | I paid for Table 40 for the evening... | | | | | I know. As usual, it is much appreciated.
I am quite busy in the next few months, so I will organize more social pool events, but probably not til May or so. Glad so many came out and had a good time and want me to continue organizing it. As long as there is interest, I will keep doing it. | The following 8 users would like to thank JLF for this useful post: | |

Unless the matter is raised, you're left with a hole in your pocket after already making the effort to arrange their entertainment.
Karma or not, it would be good if all who played and er, left the hall tired and emotional without contributing would consider their ways. The games weren't for free | The following 2 users would like to thank Uncle Max for this useful post: | |

| | Re: Social Pool Night | Quote: | |  | | | Maybe I should be more strict... | | | | | I'm sorry to hear that JLF.
Given to experience of Basel Curry Nights, there seams to be loads of people that "don't realize" that the event isn't on the organizer - don't realize the water isn't for free, the beer isn't for free, or even don't realize that the food isn't for free.
So yes, you must be very strict on the money part unfortunately. Make it very clear that the tables aren't for free. Maybe I sound b1tchy when I ask people if they paid up when they come to say goodbye - but heck, I'm not going to pay for some peoples I'm meeting for the first time and perhaps will never meet again meal.
No shame in making it in red and in bold and with underline: THIS EVENT IS NOT FOR FREE!
Trust me, it works.

Trust me, it works. | | | | | Maybe I am missing something, but didn't JLF just say that there was no problem? Enough people paid enough money, so the bill was settled? (If not, please correct me... I know it happened before, but the last nights I went to we didn't have the problem.)

I'm sure JLF doesn't want to cause a stink, but if it helps jogs people into remembering next time they meet and she ends up with a few extra CHF rather than a few less, it's worth mentioning. | This user would like to thank Uncle Max for this useful post: | |

| | Re: Social Pool Night | Quote: | |  | | | Think you may have missed it. | | | | | Ok. I guess I did the same as most others: Asked how much I should put in and did so. If people paid too little, it was not necessarily people walking away without paying, but everyone chipped in just a few franks too few on average. I suggest that we next time simply put a couple of CHFs more in and in the case that it was too much simply use it for the next event then...
