Am I being unresonable?

Having noseyed into this a bit further, I still don't think you're being unreasonable. If he wasn't selling it as being 'a community event' in order to get food donations, it wouldn't be so bad, in fact as a fundraiser it's a reasonable idea. The problem comes when you find it hasn't been advertised anywhere but his little FoE page on FB. No local advertising at all. And, as you say, all people who can afford tickets...

And, I can't see where the money raised is going? Is it on local projects, or into a central FoE pot?

It's not to raise funds but to raise awareness. It's a 5 course banquet for 50 invited guests. All the food is donated food.

Grrrrr argh! Beyond words. No not unreasonable.

100% with you Zaz - as it seems the whole poll is which must be some kind of Vine record.

My message - stick it to him, and if you need any extra nails to do it please let me know.

[zazen999]

This is why I have the rage on.

[pauco]

As far as i can see your not being unreasonable at all.
So my final word to him/her would be, and my last word to you is, OFF!
Hope thats not to difficult to understand Sir!

*shuts mouth with difficulty*

It's to raise awareness of bees in crisis, among people who must already know that bees are in crisis because they've liked a Facebook FoE page, which is the only place this awareness-raising event was advertised...?

I have nothing else to add your honour.

[veggiechicken]

get in there quick - there are 3 tickets left for the free banquet

[alldigging]

Why aren't they charging and then using funds? (To support the groups who supported them AND then the friends of the bees thing)

This sounds like a really dodgy friend of a friend event.

Not just me then?

Indeed, why aren't they?

[alldigging]

Did you know you can send the organiser an email via that page?

[Tripmeup]

Erm thats 4 words.

Spot the irony Bill

[zazen999]

I really wasn't doing this for anyone to contact him or complain on my behalf...just to see if I am indeed being unreasonable...so I'm going to take that link out.

[veggiechicken]

I didn't find it through FB though - so the event is out there for a wider audience - not just "friends".
