It must be something about the whole event that provokes confusion in the thought process of non-players. There is still uncorrected nonsense about sponsorship/website/live coverage/newspaper reporting from south the (NSW) border that any sane person would have withdrawn/apologised for 11 months ago.
But on the subject of venue fee waivers we had a double loss from the poor numbers. After we agreed to the venue price the Southern Cross Club not only gave us a grant but also agreed to waive the venue charge. However implied in this arrangement was that we would have 150-200 players at the tournament. By failing to reach that mark we missed out on both the extra income, and the reduced expenses.
