Extra Rankings Results - 28th Jan 2009

Darren has kindly offered to take the results of my hands and compile them.

I prepare a cut down version of the database and send it to him so that he can use a proper program to input the results. This in turn makes it easier for me to integrate the results into the main database later on. Otherwise his kindness would turn out to mean 3 hours extra work for me.

I head down to see Darren with the Extra Rankings competition draws and we discuss a few things like entry fees for the Gib Open which I always hesitate to put up (will have a think on that one). I also discuss something that a company has introduced known as Performance Rights Society which charges you for any music played during an event. Darren has kindly investigated the legislation concerning this and as a non profit organisation we should be in the clear. Anyways we never play much music in fact we do not even complete more than 30 seconds of a song for any intros, here is the article in question.

Yesterday GBC turned up wanting an interview at the Johnny Neale Charity competition to talk about the start of the youth season and how we have prepared it and what we will be doing. It went really well. It was a bit unlucky that straight after the event I had to play against Dylan Duo but hey interviews must be done.

Quite worrying though that when I turned up at the club that the police were there because of a burglary at the club. Thankfully nothing was stolen this time around as we have had boards stolen before.

The turn out was very good indeed many more than expected. It could well be because some people were not sure that the event didn't carry points dunno could be.
