re: questionnaire

If I was in crasher and somebody from crasher came up to me and asked a few questions about the night I wouldn't be bothered at all, I doubt many people would. As long as you don't go for people on the dancefloor I don't see what the prob is.

Hi guys.

Jeff what info are you trying to get from the crowd with your questionaire's? I use to run a club night in Baltimore MD, before my and the wife moved back to England. I may be able to be of some assistance.

Posted by tu_face on May-31-2003 09:54:

calla was gunna be sorting out the questionaire.. so im not entirely sure what e was gunna put on it. he is not gunna be at the night now tho.. but i think he will prolly still b up for sorting them out beforehand anyway so ur best to sort it with him

if he is not still doing them then you can have a bash at em if u like

i think basically the ifo we would want is umthing like 'how would you rate the night?', 'did u think anything could have been done better?', 'would you come again (pleeeeaaaase!)?' etc etc

spad: fair point but im not sure what the score is with the layout of the place, its only a bar so im not sure if it has a dancefloor as such

re dj money situation: i noticed yesterday that the original post was edited.. but i cant understand why this was done without there being a post or two about it in the thread massive.. nobody knows who the fuck this guy is

wtf no dancefloor?

You are aware that you can't just dance anywhere, venues need a license for people to dance on the premisis. I don't wanna be rude or anything coz I know this has taken a lot of planning but a trance/techno night without dancing is going to be wank.

some bars to have lil corners for dancing etc, imm sure neo would have thought about this and wouldnt have a place for us with no dancing, though with all the pettyness thats happening is this nite ever going to happen?

Due to recent events and attitudes amongst some consider this night for the time being - cancelled !

I still think this can happen so we've hit some problems doesnt mean we should give up i reckon if we get together properly we can still get something sorted and try and make this work, otherwise i can see us still planning ukta night when we're 80 odd, ukta night july 2060 woohoo

dont get me wrong here mate, all the work uve put into this is muchos appreciated.. but u should have discussed the dj money thing here (or at least posted saying so instead of getting ste to edit the thread) - see my post in the other thread for my point of veiw on the whole mess

dont use the word cancel, or even postpone. weve come too far now to do it again. im sure i speak for everyone when i say that we want this to happen on july 12th. we can sort this out

but either way what ever happens im up for playing, whether it be this year or 2060

Posted by flystyler on Jun-01-2003 10:34:

Well Neo i urge you to reconsider. I think the people who know you pretty well realised after seeing certain decision and posts by people that this would be the conclusion.

Well i think we all appreciate your efforts. And it would be a shame to cancel the event or post pone it. We have a date and i hope we cna stick to that. Most things r sorted, posters, equipment. Only the line up has been under question.

I think you have organised events before, and i know kuffdam has. So i think we should let you organise this. We have jeff and harry helping with equipment and advertising.

Now i think we need to hand over the running to a select few. At the end of the day we need a few spokespeople (ill be politically correct ) to have total control to minimise arguments and disagreements.

Well i think ste and jeff run this forum pretty well, and with a mature approach. Why not let all decisions be decided by say jeff, ste, Neo. I think that would be a good idea. And we all cna obviously discuss the idea and voice our oppinions. But their view is final.

Basically there are around 40+ active ukta members, and a business wouldnt have that many MD's for exactly the reasons that have developed.

Well hopefully we can have a system that works. Get this up and running and make it a success. If it fails, then oh well, atleast we tried. But if it works then future nights can be planned and more ukta's can spin.

I think a lot of us are really looking forward to this night. It will be a good chance to get all of us together, and from meet up its will be a huge success im sure.

Well i hope july 12th still goes ahead

Argh I hope none of my comments have been taken that way, I really want this to happen coz I know how much it means to certain people and I'm 100% in support. If I've sounded like I'm whinging it's only because I want it go go right for everybody.

What I would say though is, take 100% charge Neo. You've done most of the work by the sounds of it.

edit: not saying that others havn't, others have put in a lot of work but that should be their job and that only.

Posted by tu_face on Jun-01-2003 11:10:

i agree with fly.. there needs to be a shuffle of things.

i dont think one person should have 100% power, it needs to be 3 or 4 ppl, so that if we have disagreements we can sort it out without the need to make daft polls. i dont mean to say that neo isnt doing a good job (thus far he has ) but i think that its important we get things right for everybody.. and if we have more than one person in charge then we are more likely to get a good balance. i think there should be neo, ste, jonsimmonds, and myself making decisions (obviously with ideas and stuff from the rest of u )

and we need to make sure there are regular updates in this thread. this has been the only problem with the way it is happeneing at the moment, all too often things have only been mentioned in #ukta and if ppl arnt there then they arnt gunna find out about it (for example this dj money business could have been sorted out ages ago if there was an update saying stuff))

Posted by Fairy Liquid on Jun-01-2003 11:15:

well......i think that there should be two people solely in charge - i.e jeff and neo...then a small number of people on a team, say ste, harry, fly and then any decisions made can be discussed amongst them - but ultimately decided by jeff n neo.....obviously they can discuss stuff wiht the rest of us in irc or woteva...but i thiik this way it would make it much more organised..these people then can organise the rest of us as to wot we can do if we want to help i know i wanna flyer and question people..as do others....and i really want this night to go ahead.

Posted by jon on Jun-01-2003 11:16:

well i agree with the 'comittie' idea and i would be able to help as after tuesday uni is over for me and ill have a fair bit of spare time

also perhaps include spad as hes pretty sensible and has a fair bit of knowldge

Jon

the only problem with it bein solely me n neo is that both of us r playing.. we need some ppl who are not playing to be in charge too incase sumtihn happens on the night

Well, I am moving today back to Essex, so that will give me a few days to think the situation over and to calm down a tad.
It was mostly the slagging off of Kuffdam that pissed me off in the other thread.
He was willing to come down all the way from Glasgow at his own expense to play for us, He has given several UKTA's chances to play on his radio site (TAW) and supported them totally on there and the poll was a fine way to thank him for his support of you lot. . . NOT !

Note: I did not get Ste to edit the thread, many ppl knew of the DJ Money and Kuffdam b2b back when i originally posted it.

i personally never saw a problem with kuffdam playing as he is a TA and stuff. i think fray and george went about things the wrong way, i dont even know why they did it as neither of them has been particularly involved in the organisation of the night.. i think fray has sorted it with kuffy but i dont know the specific details.

my apologies about the postage business, i must have missed the post or sumthin. however, for all its worth, i would like to have my objections to dj money playing heard now

at the end of the day its mainly ur contacts that have got us this far (with booking the club for free etc), but do consider the ideas posted previously by myself and fly.. they r good ideas and wil lmake it all run smoothererer

take these few days to think as u said, but make the right choice its not really fair that those of us who put our efforts in will miss out because of the actions of people who didnt have much to do with it in the first place

Nah, I'd rather just stand back and attack other people's ideas

I'll help & support in any way I can though obviously

Posted by flystyler on Jun-01-2003 20:15:

Well lets leave it up 2 neo to decide. As he said, he has the next few days to think about it.

But the organisers have been doing a great job so far
