Posting under the influence....
 

Can give folks the wrong impression of a poster.

I assume posting under the influence (of something) is involved with this post, as it is rife with mispellings, repeated points, and is unnecessarily critical of another poster. The time stamp was also 4:01 am.

I didn't see JVD's post as dissing the club or trying to squeeze money out of anyone. It simply posted a simple fact, that the club leadership voted to end funding of his bbq.

This is disappointing.

If you do a search you will find Mr JVD brings this matter up a few times,implying that the club is not paying/supporting his BBQ.

The club is supporting him by letting him post on the registry if he
couldn't post here he wouldn't be having any BQB.

He needs to make a big boy decision, do it or don't, simple.

Since your a new member club never paid for business BBQ's/events.
If the club paid before it was a mistake till it was brought to their attention.

For those that are so disapointed open your check books and send Mr JVD some money.

I don't see how paying a business to have BBq's with member fees makes sense to anyone.

I like Corey, Marc and Lingenfelter should we also send checks to them, come on really.

A little common sense here boys.

Where am i critical to another member maybe opinionated but not critical.

How's my spelling :-)

Pete. (Hiccup) There's still hope! :p

FYI- Yes, I am a member of the current club and another one long ago. You might say I've been around since the beginning of the ZR-1 hobby. I have a LONG history of organizing events for the enjoyment of everyone who participates. As a result of those events, we have also donated generous amounts of money to various groups including the ZR-1 Registry and the NCM as well. The fact is, I've never gained any revenue from any events. But I don't really need to justify anything I do or have done to you now do I? You will forget it in the morning anyway....

We actually never accepted anything from the Registry club until 2010 when Jerry Downey and Jim Voter asked if they could contribute and let the BBQ become part of the Registry's official events. They said that they had received so many positive comments regarding the BBQ, they wanted to become an official part of it. We had also lost our donated rental chairs and equipment that year so we agreed to "work together". We received a check for $300, about the cost of the chairs and tables alone. That year we served well over 200 and raised enough funds to make some very worthy troops in a very bad place a little more comfortable.

Ryan,
Maybe we should switch to near beer for "Pete's Sake!" (hiccup)

In any case, the main reason we are asking for registrations is so we can keep track of the free-loaders who make it a practice to crash the party, eat seconds, drink 'til their hearts content, then leave without so much as a thank you. It's not fair to all of you who play by the rules.

We have a terrific menu. 3/4in thick marinated ribeye or seasoned chicken breast, homemade potato salad, homemade BBQ beans, Baked potatoes , peppers and onions, rolls, etc. Bring your favorite beverage or enjoy water and sodas on ice. Rumor had it there would once again be some funny looking aluminum cylinders sitting in ice at the rear of the shop....

We will have a fun time whether there are 50 or 150, it really doesn't matter.

Oh and uh Pete? I hope you change your mind and attend. I'd love to meet you! I'll even reserve a steak with your name on it....or are you a chicken kinda guy?

Life really IS simple, isn't it?
