OK, so far I have confirmed payments for the following people.

RSA Botha x 1
AspieThinker x 1
13DollarRefill x 2
QlandBiker x 2
FlameXX x 1
AUSSIENINJAFREAK x 1
Slipprymongoose x 1
Myself x 2 I think.

Which makes 11 people so far.

Does anyone know if NinjaRobDog and SlySilva78 are still keen or not? I have not heard back from them at all.

Cheers.

Bill :-)

Oh Cool, Good Job guys in getting that paid so quickly :D I have just sent NinjaRobDog and Slysilva a message asking if they are still keen :)
 
Alrighty, Hey guys, Been in touch the Awesome Mr Ausadventure and the Deposit has been paid and our booking is looked it!! Woohoo!
But there is a problem, We have only paid for 11 guys at the moment ( the amount of people who have already paid the deposit) and we have not heard back from either Ninjarobdog or Slysilva78. This is a problem if they are still keen and maybe busy but the Track we have booked on can only fit the amount of riders we have booked for, because there are two groups on the one track at the same time. In saying that, the other group have not paid there deposit and may have some people pull out, which opens up an extra spot or two for us. But if Ninja and Sly do reply and are still keen, we may have to change to a Smaller more tighter Track Called he Monte Carlo Track which also in turn are in slower karts then we booked. Just wanted to ask you guys, whether you would like to Stay on the track we are booked for or change to the other track to fit everyone in? That's if they reply?
 
Would rather the faster karts obviously but I'm more than happy to switch to get everyone in if more confirm.
Group event, makes sense to have the group out there.

On a side note, to any of the GC guys going up, I will be taking a backpack with me with a lappy in it (so I can get the footage cleared off it through the day and recharge the battery), a couple of drink bottles and stuff so if you have anything you want to take along I am happy to cram it on my back to save everyone having to haul crap around. Just let me know so I can allocate space out and no one ends up pissed if I run out of room.

To all others, if you want to bring a cable and usb mem stick I can do the same for your cams with my lappy when we are sitting around at the kart track.

FML 3 edits and I am still fixing typos in this post. Tip #1 kids, do not use a MacBook Pro, the keyboards on them are not spaced properly and you end up mashing random keys.
 
Yeah of course, the faster ones would be awesome, But yeah I would not like to leave anyone out :) That is cool that they are still interested so i will keep in contact with Kingston park to check in about the number of the other group and if they pay for all they booked for, then we will change track :)

I received a message from MrAus, asking that one of his friends asked a question if the cameras are aloud on the track. I have asked the Staff at Kingston park and the lady i was speaking to said they may ask us to detach them from our helmets, but she said to ask the on track staff if we can wear them. The lady said that the reason we would have to take them off would be for the other group's privacy reasons. But, if we choose to go onto the Monte Carlo Track, i think we will be the only group on that track, so it should be fine. But I know it will be a bummer if we couldn't film while riding but we can only ask and hope for the best (or say they are glued on ;P)

Another Thing, They require the full payment by Monday, but they said they are flexible on the payment. So I will call Kingston tomorrow asking if is has to be paid on that date by credit card and we may have to use MrAus's credit card again and maybe put the money through on Friday. But i will check in with Kingston and MrAus to make sure everything is ok with that process and i will confirm with you guys asap :)

Cheers Guys :)
 
I would much rather make the rest of my payment on the day at the track. Doing otherwise would be counter-intuitive to making me want to go as I have already made partial payment with the idea that the rest is payable on the day, plus I don't have any cash until the weekend which is on pay week :P
I'm sure something can be dodgied among us to get cameras onto the track either ways. As the law states no one is privy to privacy in a private place.
Unless they are on private property and engaged in an activity that would otherwise be considered be engaging in an act where one would expect a level of privacy.
Unless people are having sex on the track I think we could skirt this one successfully if we didn't advertise it.
Just a bit of trickery on our part, like when all hitting the line at the start, we slip the cameras onto the helmet mounts and then slamming the accelerator :P

The Statutes (which are not legally enforceable law anyway);

filming for indecent purposes;[148]

making an image of a child engaged in a private act for prurient purposes;[149]

making indecent visual images of a child under the age of 16;[150]

committing indecent or offensive acts in a public place;[151]

child pornography offences;[152] and

using a telecommunications network or carriage service to facilitate certain offences.[153]

This is also dependant on us being on public property whist recording but we don't need to tell them that and we will definitely not be in breach of any of the statutes that constitute a crime against the the law, unless they have changed the signage from when I was last there. :P
If anyone kicks up a stink just let me deal with them and I will knock their socks off with legal jargon and get my pimp slap on.
 
From similar meets with car clubs etc that I have organised before they are generally pretty flexible,
if you say people want to pay the remainder on the day, they are generally ok with that as they have a deposit for the people that have committed but do not turn up.

Just have to be strong with them as they will try an walk over you to get more $$$ in their pockets.
Only drawing from experience and offering my advice based on previous exposure to similar situations.

I for one can not pay before the weekend due to other commitments.
 
isn't the purpose of a deposit to secure our spots on the track and then on the day pay the remainder?

if you are saying they are flexible, I'd much rather pay the remaining balance when we arrive on the day...either way they are still going to get their money.
 
I reckon if we ask them if we can pay the remainder on the day, that would be best. Surely they should go for that, if people do not turn up they get to keep the deposit. That is the whole idea of a deposit. Although, I guess they just want the process to go as quickly as possible on the day. Imagine how long it will take us to organise our money on the day compared to having it all done already.

As for the cameras, lets just turn up with them and say nothing. I am sure it will be fine.

Sly has paid but no sign of Rob's payment yet!
 
Alrighty, I will give them a Call Tomorrow Asking about if we can pay the remainder on the actual date due to being an off pay week :) They should be ok with that. Yeah i am sure the cameras should not be a problem but if they are I will be sure to refer them to you Ausieninja haha I hope NinjaRob can send through his deposit soon, if so we will have to change tracks to fit everyone on. I will also ask bout the other group, if they are paying for their full number. I will keep you guys informed :)

Cool i will contact them first thing :D
 
alright guys, I have contacted Kingston and they said the full payment must be paid 7 days prior to the day. I have said that most of us cannot not bring up the money by then and we can pay on the day and they said no! apparently the "terms and conditions" say we must. They have said we can pay it on the Wednesday but i am not sure on how everyone can do it. I said i would talk things iver with you guys and maybe settle something and call them back, but they will call me this Wednesday asking for the rest of the payment and exact numbers.

maybe try and find the terms and conditions text and see if it is in fact true.

I've got the funds now to pay the remaining, however that's not the point.

i just looked at the T's and C's and in fact it is correct. but you would think that since we are all scattered over the south-east that they would be understanding. It takes what 30 seconds to 1 min to swipe my EFTPOS / credit card.

just my 2c worth.

Yeah, I know it sucks. Some companies are just like that these days, just want the money up front no matter what the issue.

Too bad we all just couldn't rock up on the day no booking and go in. Last time I went there thats what I did.

Yeah, would be good but but because we are over 10 we are classified as a group and they are having to book the whole track to only a couple of groups, but you may get lucky and go in when there is nothing on also.

but yeah guys i know it sucks, but that's what apparently need to be done. I will have a chat to MrAus and see if the rest of the fellas are able to pay it by Wednesday :) Ahh the stresses of life :D haha

That is probably OK for small groups like two or three people max, but not for larger groups I'd say.

I am fine with paying my share whenever. All good.

I could probably cover the payment for one or two others, but I don't know how comfortable I am with doing that as my ass will be on the line if the people do not turn up last minute or whatever.
 
I can also confirm that this is in the T&C's on their website after just having a scour through them and its solid.
Nothing mentioned or even hinted on about filming so let them try to stop me now!

It's a really cuntish way to run a business, guess the boss man didn't get enough hugs as a kid.
I do not understand what the point of paying the deposit was either?

I can put this on my CC, as evil as they are but I guess they are for times like this. I cannot do a direct deposit with it though so will need some session details to pay the remainder of my costs with them over the phone.

Time for some sweet sweet Vlogger retribution me thinks.
As the old saying goes 1 bit of bad publicity is worth more than 100 good one.

No need to stress ourselves over it too much, it is what it is. The deposit was really just to hold the booking so that they can make sure their tracks are always as full as possible I guess. With so many people probably wanting to do this on the weekend, they need to make sure that they have a system in place to make everything as smoothly and quickly on the day for everyone. Get in, get on track and get out again. I can see where they are coming from.

I will PM out the booking details to everyone that QlandBiker gave me. Then those with CC's can then pay their own balance if they wish and others can pay the remainder to me and I will pay again as I did with the deposit. Just be sure to let me know which way you are going to go so i know who has done what. How does that sound?
 
Oh I never stress... unless I forget where I put my keys, just opinionated and have no issue calling BS with stuff like this.


On a side note, here's my suggestions for the ride after the karting. we could either leave the tambo ad go down through Lays park or out through Wongawallan to put everyone out a bit further up the highway for the brissy riders.
