I did pay for it and as soon as it was cancelled I did get the money back.
I am sure there was a good reason for it being cancelled, as he did hold one last year and that went well, by all accounts. |

. I'm a bit odd when it comes to paying anything with my card . I'd pay cash not a problem.

Yes all money was returned . It was unfortunate that it had to be cancelled but real life has to come first unfortunately . Payments were made through PayPal which I think are quite secure for everyone ?? Hopefully another night will be arranged soon by the organiser  |

I dunno why there was an issue with paying 15 euro through paylpal? The organiser is a long term and well verified member of fab. Hes held a social before that was brilliant and I cant praise him enough for his previous effort. Ive no doubt the next one will be truly amazing. |

I never said he wasn't. Just don't see why you can't pay on the night

Because the organiser was paying upfront for the venue etc. This was a Fab event he was doing and himself shouldn't be out of pocket with no shows not attending.... In the past other events have been Paid upfront too. |

So who covers the cost of those that dont show up? The organiser? Thats not fair is it? Considering the room and finger food had to be paid for,plus hire of dj equipment,speakers etc and he was doing dj himself to keep the costs down as it was.
Sometimes a small amount of trust and faith in event organisers wouldnt go amiss here. |

Used to organise parties and play the decks years ago, always a few of us to cover the cost.
Can only imagine the hassle of doing it by his self.
Between the cost of the room, equipment, etc and worrying if people show, it could be hard on one person to pull off. |

How true is that. The way i see it is, if they pay upfront and dont show up, its their own fault and not the event organiser. It would be a bitter pill to swallow when so much effort is put into these events, without it leaving the event organiser out of pocket  |

Confused by this topic 
You didn't pay so why does it bother or concern you about money being returned??
All money was returned, i have a non refundable room booked but am not on asking who refunding me, shit happen's and things get cancelled take it on chin and move on in my book.
Tho.i will be in hotel on 24th if fancy discussing it over a class of wine mrs strawberry lol

bein asked to pay by pay pal is just a new way for the organisers and it's not a bad way either I think it should be done that way |

I dont see what your issue is? You asked to be invited and when I told you I was taking payment upfront you were still ok with it until you decided you werent coming. Ive paid for meet and greets on fab upfront by paypal myself so I dont have a clue what either your concern with it was or your reason to talk trash about it on a dedicated thread? Its shit stirring at best and fairly ignorant. Anyone who were genuinely attending paid within minutes of asking for their invite and were refunded within seconds of it being cancelled. Its shit stirrers like you who make this site the pain in the ass it can be at times.
You werent attending. You didnt pay. So why are you starting a thread about it? Absolutely pointless. If you ever organised a social you would get an idea of th costs associated and the risk of people not turning up on the night and leaving you out of pocket. Its not a money making scam, its a break even event for the fab community but luckly enough there arent as many small minded people on fab as yourself.

Real shame this didn't go ahead but these things happen. What would be a bigger shame is if the organiser after seeing this crap decides feck that I won't bother again.
15 quid is sod all for a good night out and the amount of stress and worry that the guy would have went through for others happiness mostly goes unnoticed.

"I think paypal is a great way of paying for m&g's. Why should the organisers be out of pocket after going to the trouble of organising nights out"
Defo and for anyone who fully intends to come and not be a stolen place on the list on the night to the organiser its perfect sense. No handing envelopes around and arousing suspect. Just not sure what the OP tried to achieve as she wasnt coming and hadnt paid. Anyone who paid was refunded.
