\"payment3\"<\/a>\"hahaha\"<\/a>\"payment1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s a thought that has been going in my mind since our last BBQ picnic at Changi Beach Park. It has also bothered me as to how some members think about the cost of events.<\/p>\n

Paul came all the way to meet me at the BBQ picnic, specifically to bring me the message on what some members of his group feel about the cost of the BBQ event. I won’t try to read further into the comment, but it goes like this.
\nTo participate in the BBQ picnic, members who come without bringing along any food have to pay $10. Those who bring food, enough for 4, will have a discount of $8. In other words, they pay a net of $2.<\/p>\n

Those who came just for the event, will need to pay $10.<\/p>\n

If everybody brings along food, they will need to pay $2 each.<\/p>\n

The issue is if a member comes along, with food, he\/she will have enough food for 4 Pax.<\/p>\n

The question is if there is food for 4 Pax, then why is there a need to charge $10. Where did the $10 go to?<\/p>\n

And, if everybody brings food, what is the point of collecting $2.<\/p>\n

I decided to EO this event because I was looking for a breezy place, for a members gathering, with plenty of standing room to move around for chitchatting and getting to know one another. And being a Sat afternoon, this will be a pleasant change.<\/p>\n

Thinking about it again, I am grossly shocked at the insinuation by Paul’s group. And I am wondering if I should be affected by these remarks.<\/p>\n

I hope to hear members’ views.<\/p>\n
