Paul can you tell me where in the letter you recived that it say's the $150 was a fine???????? Because if you had of attentend the General Meeting on tuesday you would have heard them say That the $150 was for the fund raising ect ect that YOU should have paid for before the roll offs like every other bowler did and you didnt pay it so by rights you should not have been allowed to roll off in the first place but you were allowed to
As for the part that u you said that you didnt see a TQI badge on the post the tournament was presented by TQI so your wrong again Mr Chambers
And as for you Injury and correct me if I am wrong cause I dont really mind nor care just quitley just explain to me if you were so badly injured why did u still bowl league every week
So paul maybe you should tell the hole story before you run your mouth off and bad mouth an asscoation because there is such a law suit as defamation so be carefull what u say
still think we need a gripe forum
Before the subject gets too far off track. I started this thread as a warning to people .ECCC has been and is a great event to bowl in you will probably have one of the best weeks of your life and there are a lot of nice people in there. I just dont think anyone has the right to judge someone who pulls out for any reason.Whether it be for financial or emotional or physical reasons. And who has the power to get inside someone elses body and feel how much pain they have. And if people dont believe you they are calling you a lyer and no one like that.
And you might lose your job or if self employed runout of work and not be able to afford the $1000 or so required for the week away.
I didnt see anything written that said if you withdraw for any reason that you are liable for extra costs. As most people know when you roll off for ECCC you pay hundreds of dollars and the people who dont make it are really paying a lot of the costs of those who do. So having paid these hundreds out then being asked for $150 more for pulling out seems wrong to me.
Does any one knows if there are extra costs involved if you pull out of Rachuig or any other team event.
I just want to know 1 thing...
Why the hell did I get a fine for $150 when i was on the other side of the world.
This was out of my control there was 2 weeks notice given and I still get a fine and banned. Now looking back I wish I did not tell any one I was not showing up and just left the team One player short, because that is how i am getting treated now even after doing the right thing by my team.
That is no way to treat some one that had such a love for the sport and for ECCC.
One more thing.
You fine My girlfriend Peta $150 to and it was totaly out of her control !!!!
She wanted to bowl more then any thing after having some much fun the year before. But because I was in America she would have to work. She was so upset when I told her that I rang Des and told him that we could not bowl she had tears in her eyes.Then for her to get a letter in the mail saying she was banned that was just not fair,even after TQI was told how all this was out of our contol they still go ahead and do this, Shame On you TQI
