"We Are The New Vintage"
So, I don't know if anyone remembers me being so excited about a new festival called 'Vintage @ Goodwood'? Well I had a really good weekend, had this year's pencilled into my diary, and was hoping to be more involved than last year. Today, I read that Wayne Hemingway - the organisor and owner of Red or Dead - has changed the location and entire set up of the festival. It's no longer a music festival, but what seems to be an attempt at a rejuvination of the Festival of Britain but knowing Wayne Heminway and going by last year's prices, it's going to even more of a money making scheme. So yes, that's all fine, but it's not the great weekend that I had last year! And once again, it's in London! Just like everything else is!
So I posted a complaint on their facebook page to express my disappointment and then got baraged with insults and rude people including Vintage @ Goodwood themselves! They have certainly lost my custom!
Tell me, do I sound ignorant in my posts? Or is it just me?
Me:
Wow. What a disappointment! I loved Vintage @ Goodwood and had high hopes for it returning to such a beautiful location. Why must everything bein London? You just can't get the same atmosphere there! And I thought Vintage @ Goodwood was a music festival? I can't see a Glastonbury feel happening on South Bank! I can only sense a lot of money exchanging hands and $$ signs rolling around Mr Hemingway's eyes!
Just a man on Facebook:
So do you think Goodwood was a charity? That they would offer up their location for free? Get real!
Me:
And South Bank is? Just as much organisation and even more sercurity would be required for South Bank. And its not all about the money, Goodwood has a vintage heritage wih the race track, the airfield and the house, not to mention the enthusiasm of Lord March

Ooh and another insult from Mr Danny Grave (yes, I'm naming and shaming now)
"I am sure we'll all have just as much fun without you there hahaha
The less whingers the better"
I was able to recover the missing data from his reply which was a lame attempt of recovering the shoe from his mouth. Fixed reply below.Vintage @ Goodwood:Correct... It won't be the same as last year and whilst we agree Goodwood was a beautiful site for Vintage 2010 we're trying something different this year and we thank those understanding and embracing this, As for everyone else mouthing off about this change, you're still ignorant.
It's a real shame people don't act professionally and as neutral as possible when running a business.
I'm going to reply to your initial message to them later today here in this post simply because I like to keep my service skills sharp. If they read it and learn a thing or two it'll only help.

That's no way to treat your customers!
He probably thinks it IS a way to make more money, though...
It's totally unacceptable that he called you "ignorant" just for expressing an opinion. Especially when you would have been bringing custom? Obviously, you don't need to be spending your day with people like that!
And you're right everything is in London, it does my head in.
Ouch! That's not cool.
I agree with you - its in London, just like everything else.
That's one festival I previously wanted to go, now however, I don't think so.
Poor show!
Myself, I'd have expected an apology!
