I have no interest in either subsidizing or taxing events at SkullSpace (we have no promo budget anymore). Let's just let the event organizers sort out the funding for their own events.
My only catch is that you should talk to us first if you want to run a for-profit event and plan on pocketing the profits. (Donating the profits to SkullSpace would be appreciated though) On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 1:17 PM, Michael Loney <[email protected]>wrote: > How about Event fee! > It's not to get in the door but rather to provide the door itself! > > I don't care what its called but we need to look at it as needed to keep > good events happening. > > We have been giving away too much in the form of free events, they need to > cover themselves and not make a profit ( Hence non-profit) > > Even if its small most people will not argue that $5 for pizza and a drink > is a decent price. > > G Mike > > > On Tue, Oct 16, 2012 at 1:12 PM, Colin Stanners <[email protected]>wrote: > >> Donations are voluntary, it's an entrance fee. >> >> And small entrance fees are lame - either make it big enough to be >> worth the time/effort/annoyance or don't do it at all. >> >> On 10/15/12, Michael Loney <[email protected]> wrote: >> > And that is the exact idea here, we aim to break even after feeding the >> > members that show up to help host / attend. >> > >> > Calling it a minimum donation rather than entrance fee would be better >> too. >> > >> > G Mike >> > >> > On Mon, Oct 15, 2012 at 4:00 PM, Mark Jenkins <[email protected]> wrote: >> > >> >> On 10/15/12 15:54, Lynn Kendrick wrote: >> >> >> >>> Maybe its just me, but I don't understand why all events need food. >> >>> Nowhere else that I go for a game night or talk would provide food. >> >>> >> >> >> >> Back in the day (2005-2006) when Andrew Orr and I organized game nights >> >> as >> >> CS students, the pizza we had for sale at cost and the free drinks >> (thank >> >> you Pepsi) made those occassions extra awesome. >> >> >> >> But we wern't charging for admission either... >> >> ______________________________**_________________ >> >> SkullSpace Discuss Mailing List >> >> Help: >> >> http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/**index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss< >> http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss> >> >> Archive: >> >> https://groups.google.com/**group/skullspace-discuss-**archive/< >> https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-discuss-archive/> >> >> >> > >> _______________________________________________ >> SkullSpace Discuss Mailing List >> Help: http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss >> Archive: https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-discuss-archive/ >> > > > _______________________________________________ > SkullSpace Discuss Mailing List > Help: http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss > Archive: https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-discuss-archive/ >
