Show and Shine - the wrap up thread

[Merli]

DON'T HATE ME I AM ONLY TRYING TO HELP.  - Malcolm.

I don't doubt that you are Malcolm, and I do agree with most of what you're saying, but your overly harsh tone and aggressive first post left a lot to be desired and wasn't conducive to getting people to take your comments under advisement.

Malcolm

Without echoing too much what I said previously in this thread, it's great to see you so enthusiastic about making this show even bigger and better than this years event. You're enthusiasm and good ideas will certainly be very useful to us when planning furutre events.

Please consider joining the organisational comittee next time as it would be great to have you on board

I think enough has been said by all on this anyway...

I will now close the thread

Other Mods: feel free to re-open it but I think we've all said enough

I would like to re-open it but I think my reply would destroy my cuddly teddy bear image :hellpisd:

After reading all of the comments after Malcolm's post, I think it is quite unfair of all of you to attack him like that. It seems like every person who has responded is part of setting up Show and Shine and has taken his comments TOO personally. To me he was criticising the judging and thought the day was run fine. I don't see a problem with that because I mostly agree with everything in his post!  

How about you all take a chill pill and stop attacking him for being the first one to make a negative post on this thread, and actually read what he had to say and probably use some points to rectify the judging problems.  

Granted, his post does sound like a bit of sore loser but still... as execs, say your thanks for his comments, note them down and do something about it! Stop making excuses like, we are young please leave us alone we will do better next time without your opinions. We know that it was the first show, but doesn't mean his post is wrong!

Here's the thing Sura- I would gladly given credit to Malcolm's comments if he had not been so negative AND had expressed a willingness to get involved in fixing things, rather than just going on about everything that was wrong.

You know what else? I would be taking it personally if I had volunteered my free time- unpaid - for the good part of a year to organise this event, and then jumped on the board to read a post 'attacking' my efforts.

Like I said feedback is fine, great even. But the approach taken by Malcolm was so totally wrong and would have been much better placed in a completely new post which asked for constructive feedback and suggestions for improvement.

And for the record- I played no part in the organisation of this event :Oops:

Sorry Merli- I shut up now!
