Okay so we probably had a thread about this somewhere but here we go again. I just set up online entry for one of our club's events. Costs were £8 attached and £10 unattached. Just had a note from a member saying " see we've joined the greedy clubs charging ridiculous amounts". Is £8 a ridiculous amount for a 10k with medals, water stop and refreshments afterwards? Or should we just run at a loss? |

I would think it's very reasonable price.

That's not expensive in my view. I think we at Bolton charge a tenner but we have chip timing and hope to make a little bit for the club. I'd ignore the comment or invite them to organise the thing.

I'd see that as pretty cheap. The guy sounds like a muppet.

Sounds like a bargain, invite the idiot to join the committee and see what the costs are to set up a race. People are so quick to criticise when it's not them doing the work. Makes me fucking cross.
