[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 2255318, member: 29706"] I can understand worries on the owners side of things and I can understand the frustration of the match shooters. If you have held matches for three years then you have had multiple opportunities to evaluate their continuance and if they were losing money that would have been early on, so my guess is that money was made and the cost was negligible. I also figure that the people shooting there were not stealing and probably spent money at other times so there was a profit. . . sponsoring something generally isn't about profit but getting the word out. I do the same thing for a website or two myself. Giving some notice would have been good etiquette if all that this was based on was loss of money etc. It's another thing when someone is sick or injured and it just can't be held. The first time I went to Heartland was 3 or 4 years ago and it looked very nice, new clean. Went over there a few months ago and it had gotten a messed/cluttered feel. Inquired about the sda class and was referred to the website to check on an available date, looked into the classroom and saw boxes/trash/clutter everywhere and decided against it. While I understand that things get pushed on to the back burner at times it seems unprofessional to have it look bad and leave a door open especially since they supposedly have multiple classes each week. That tells me you either sit in a small classroom and contend with boxes or have employees who are moving them around constantly. I decided to drive a little farther and enjoyed my class thoroughly.
