We still need a charity though. Any suggestions? Or are we going to try get paid? I think if each band makes like 100 bucks it's a waste, but donating a 1000 bucks to a charity is worth something. What do you guys think?

This is the Shadows Club, Vaal Chapter. Bound to be interesting.

I always feel donating money to charity is peeing in the ocean, I'd rather buy something and give it to them. I know a while back the West Rand Association for the disabled needed a PA, maybe if we have enough cash we can donate one to them, I'm sure Marshall music will give us a good discount if needed.

I am so sorry, man. I always complain because people get our name wrong (every time!) I will fix this.

Any other mistakes?

Peavey Park has an extra "e" ?

Fixed on the Event page, but I see at least I have it right on the flyer.

Is everyone cool with us donating our share of the proceedings to The West Rand Association for People with Disabilities?

They do little shows using a portable PA once in a while for their fundraisers and events. They sing to backtracks and all kind of stuff, it's not so pleasing to the ears but it keeps them motivated and warms their little hearts and those who love them. recently their Portable PA broke and they don't have the funds for a new one, they have gotten it fixed a couple of times and I've seen the condition of this thing, there is no hope for it. Let's see if we can raise enough funds to buy a new one.

What do you think??????

epictring

Why don't a % of the money go to the acts performing on the night? Using the funds to support GFSA musicians seems more related to the GFSA-forum. I am however in full support of a charity donation.

Only realised now there is an entrance fee.

Just a suggestion, I don't really mind either way.

Jayhell

Well, I like the idea of doing good and I always feel making a small amount of money for each band with these gigs doesn't cover anything anyway. But hey, that might just be me. I feel the fact that we can move, hear and see is a gift on it's own, that's why I thought of these guys.

Also if we do this a local music shop chain (Can I mention their name here?) is willing to sponsor a couple of grand towards give-a ways etc if we buy the PA from them once we have enough money (if we raise enough money). I'm seeing them on Friday to discuss the logistics.

Next time we gig together, we will make millions and split the cash ?

If you guys think I'm being dumb here and you would rather have the cash, speak now or forever hold your peace.

I have two comments to make :
I think it might be better to start earlier as it's a Sunday and with these things everything always runs late. No one wants to stay till 11 to watch bands on a Sunday and some people have work the next day. I intend to be there from start to end, so I think starting earlier could be more convenient.
I'm quite happy with donating all the entrance money to charity as it has more of an impact than giving every performer a few hundred rand.
Either way, I think it will be a cool event!
