Forgive me if I am wrong, but wasnt this festival planned before the need to support Allan came to the fore

300 baht buffet plus one free drink does not seem to me to leave much in the way of profit

All these things need extra staff, extra equipment and the owners carry the risk that the night may be rained out or boycotted by people on this board and others

So what if the function went on and the raffles and pass the bucket only, were for the charity

I find it hard to seperate the cheap charlies from the generous people who attend, donate and spend, but are asking for more open accounting

Those who made the most noise in my opinion had no intention of attending or contributing, but just wanted to knock those taking part. Empty vessells make the most sound .
