Dan,
I mean no disrespect to anyone trying to do what they can to make folks happy. I have already stated that I will return to London. The place where it all started. I was totally surprised that Ed turned the event over to someone else and never once asked the "DVSF Family " what we preferred. Ed has always maintained that it was OUR party not his and we would make the choices. Well what the heck happened? Now we are looking at this like it's the Hatfields and the McCoys. People already had their reservations in London before this decision and nobody seemed to care. Taking the event to another locale would be fine if that's what the majority wanted but we never had that choice.This to me was the biggest issue of all. I find it hard to believe that someone living in the London area could not have carried on with the planning of the events. I don't know what the deal is with the clubs in that area but it sure seems they should have been able to step up and help Ed.
I 'm sticking with the original plans started by Ed. I see many folks feel the same as I. London did good by us and we owe them that much.
