Well done guys - apparently just over £1,000 raised for charity.....



But, if the event was fully sponsored by local business's, and, so i understand, 550 tickets sold at 20TL a pop, shouldn't more money be going to the charity ??



Perhaps the event organisers can comment ?

Hi Nick,



I noticed 'Mountain View' in your title, and thought that maybe you were referring to us as the organisers? I would just like to say, as in a previous thread, that we did not take any money for the hosting of the 3 events and around 4 rehearsals, as our way of supporting a very good cause.



Regards,



Oz

If only it had been fully sponsored by local businesses!



We were able to raise a fair amount, thanks to some generous people, but no where near what we needed to put on a production of this scale. - did you come and support us Nick? I'm guessing not.



I think all who came can appreciate, the expense of such a production - the first of it's kind in the TRNC.



The good news is, that having purchased things we can re-use, for example -the lights, dimmer pack and the desk (which no one was prepared to loan to us!) are now ours for any future enterprises with the 112's! The stage has been dismantled and stored, and again may be reusable - we had an extremely talented construction team - which I may add worked for three weeks solidly building.



I for one am over the moon to have contributed to our community is such a positive way!!! - not bad for a gal who 'just doesn't cut the mustard' eh??

Well said Anna....... too many people out there ready for a 'witch-hunt', especially when a charity is involved.

Probably due to the fact that there have been quite a few dodgy characters collecting for various charities in the past !!! The 'house' raffle springs to mind for one.

Well done for all your hard work and good luck with the next production.......can't wait !!!!

just so i understand - you used the ticket money to buy equipment and bunged what was left to charity ???



so, will you be using this equipment solely for charity events in the future, or will you be using it to stage shows for own profit ??



if the former, then good on you, if the latter can't get my head round it...



just my opinion...



what does everyone else think ?

I have no idea what Anna's response to this will be, but as I have always understood it, there is a difference between 'takings' and 'proceeds'./ No one out here is that wealthy, and this was a show which offered to give 'proceeds' to charity, which means that anything left after expenses etc, would be given.



If anyone talks of giving 'takings' to charity, that means every ticket sold goes to the charity - but then who funds the entire venture. Nothing is cheap, not even here, and I think Anna had a lot of volunteers helping her to make thing,s but even basics cost money.



At the end of the day, if you think youwill enjoyit, then you get a night's entertainment, plus the joy of knowing that others less fortunate than yourself willbenefit (or in the case of '112' it could be YOU), but you can always stay at home and keep the money in your pocket.



Now, what do others think?

I think that if you put your money where your mouth is NN it could have raised even moor money for charity. Every charity has to start off in some way with costs, so what is so unusual about the expenses being taken out of the ticket sales. They all put a lot of hard work into that show and I, along with many others that went to see the show think they deserve a little more praise and a lot less nasty remarks. As Anna said they now have the equipment ready for the next show, and we cant wait to see it. Good luck to Anna and the gang,keep it going.

mess 8 - er, Live Aid didn't pay for his ticket - British Airways gave him a free flight.....



Expenses is one thing, but spending thousands on equipment doesn't seem to ring true...



Where are all their postings on Cyprus44 asking for fellow performers to lend them equipment to stage the show ?? - then ALL the proceeds could have been given to charity...



Again just my ten pennyworth...



Interested in what everyone thinks...



incidentially, what did the tickets / adverts say ??

Nick bless you, I was just using the lights as an example, you have absolutely no idea do you? - you didn't see the show did you?



For those of you who didn't go - we built an entire theatre in a tennis court (not Just a few lights!)... Yes SOME expenses were covered, Sorry guys, much as I'd love to give every penny I had to charity... as well as work my arse off for free.. I have to draw the line somewhere! and who would expect any construction crew to work in the heat, solidly, FOR FREE without having at least liquid refreshments? - It may also surprise you to know, that we even supplied the plastic cups to the bar for the performances!



When i say theatre... I mean everything - (except the booze!) everything bar the metal fencing surrounding the tennis court was bought, made from raw material (which was bought!) hired or borrowed. The costumes - The set - The Stage... the steps, tables and chairs... EVERYTHING!!! you can't possibly appreciate that unless you were there.

Other entertainers were involved, Pete leant us some extra speakers, and a radio mic (thanks Pete) but no body here, had the stuff we needed for this scale of production, David wade also came and added to the visuals with his Lights.



The Starfever show's story line carried a message - in short, Make friends not enemies, work together, and achieve great things. That is what I believe we did, and I stand by it!. - So c'mon Nick, Let's have you help us out for the next production - what's your skills??? I'm sure we could use your help somewhere!!!

Bob Geldof is alive (isn't he!?) and he would understand the amount of cash used to stage these productions! - having done many himself!



like anything you have to speculate to accumulate, and this is a long term venture Nick, I've offered you the opportunity, to take part in the next production so you can see with your own eyes the amount of cash and hard work that goes into these things...



what do you do? Make a statement similar to the first one, and run away!



Why not try doing something constructive yourself? Rather than sniping and looking for things that just aren't there? I have done my best to explain the facts, but lets face it, you weren't there - you didn't contribute or support the cause - you are not willing to help in any way shape of form!



Shame on you!



my conscience is clear.



Once again, many thanks to all of you that took part and supported us.

Birdy if you look at the charity commisions web page you will see how much has to go to charity. I worked for a national charity and 66 per cent had to go. a lot of charties set uo a limited company along side to pay saleries etc but these were subject to the charity comision. I think that they had the best interest at heart. 112 have secured funding but Anna and her troup did what they could. Things are hard here and to put a show on like this takes time and management. Nick please do not knock the thought behind it why should we question motives we are not the charity commision. This event was put on to create awarenes of 112 and to raise funds/ This makes me feel liKe i will not do any more hampers free dinners etc as I will be asked questions

I watched Starfever show twice, I went with the intention of seeing a good show and supporting 112. I was not disappointed a brilliant performance from Anna, Matt, Anthony, Emma and the rest of the supporting crew and 112 guys. I shall be at the next one, come along Nik have a good time watching Anna & the guys and support 112, just a thought that £1000 pounds just might save someones life one of these days and it just might be yours Nik.

I think NN was right to ask the question.



It was advertised as a charity event and over £4,000 was taken in ticket sales and only £1,000 was passed on to the charity.

No problem with that if the £3,000 was all spent on buying goods for the production, but that does sound like the expenses were unnecessarily high for the amount of charity money handed over.



The ticket buying public are entitled to know how much of their ticket price was going to the charity - I guess most people would expect all or most of it!

Did anybody get paid for their charity work? An account of ALL expenses should have been kept, and it should now be made public - If not, people are bound to assume that some of the charity money went into the organiser's pockets.



Good question Nick!

msgs 31, 32, 34 and 35



Aren't you all missing the point?

Yes, of course 112 are very grateful for the £1000 and I'm sure they will use it well, but wouldn't they be even more grateful if they got £2000 or £3000 - IF (and we don't know yet) that was what they were entitled to.

That's all that is being asked. Show us the expenses, then we will all know.



Maybe someone from 112 could give us their views on the subject.

Thanks guys for your support, Well... hmm, what more can I say?



I think they did get the point, sure - the 112 would love to have had 4 grand - but they wouldn't have had 4 grand without a show - and the show would never have happened, had it not been for the money spent out!? - no brainer if you ask me!?



The people who have made positive comments, are all people that came to see the show, and therefore have some understanding of what was involved.



It's very interesting to me, that people who have made it painfully obvious that they didn't support the show, seem to be determined to make some sort of issue? I really don't get why you have so much interest - unless there is some other hidden motive in there somewhere!?



I'm now in the fortunate position of knowing the real identity of a certain little cowboy (It's a small Island!) and now know exactly why you've got 'beef' no surprise to me!

Surely the question has to be asked. Over the years there have been many charity events held but no one has actually came out and said how much money was raised.



Of course there would be expenses from a show of that magnitude however it would not have been right if something billed as a charity event had in fact been used as an income stream for a business, which unfortunately has happened in the past.



From what I have read so far is that now the equipment has been acquired another fundraising show would not attract the same level of expenditure thus more money raised and surely if anyone using the equipment in the mean time should also make a donation to the 112 charity for the use of such equipment.



Anna you cant please all the people all of the time however if you please most of the people, most of the time then at least you have achieved something. Well done

I think its shocking that when people spend their own time helping others, out of the goodness of their hearts , it can be twisted suddenly in to something more sinister. So lets be clear are these guys being accused of Embezzlement? Well, what a turn of events, I thought these were a few friendly people helping a desperate cause. Mud sticks in such a small place, I sincerely hope that this doesnt affect the future success of any further charitable events.

Tinkie knowing what I know now its sad when people like this try to entertain. Its not cheap to stage a production on such a scale. These guys wanted to give soimething different and give proceeds to charity. Everybody knows that proceeds means after all else is paid. They entertained they gave thier all. The charity had more than it would have done. Years ago I wad involved in a Variety Club dinner. The guest speakers didnt come free but people were willing to part with 100 pounds to hear and see them.The raffle and auction prizes produced the results to thousands of pounds. This is not available here. I get asked daily to do a hamper or give a dinner for some charity or the other. Which I do but it does wear thin espically when i care for the animals with no help from any charity. Im sure 112 were more than happy and if the money left paid wages cutomues etc for further shows for charity lets support them

Ozbey, if youre so worried about our ambulance service here, you give them £2,000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anna has a child to support, she has given her time to raise this money, now please stop having a dig

as to where it went. Anna's 'been here long enough to be classed as a trustworthy performer.

She has raised loads of money for charities, and done totally free gigs.

Lots of people do 'their bit to help, a thankless task to be honest, but worthwhile.

Mess 39 - Anna you are missing the point....



You obviously didd't have the resources to stage the show, like perhaps Jonnie Hawkins would have had (ie he has loads of his own equimment), so what you decided to do was to use £3,000 of the £4,000 ticket money to stage it, purchasing equipment, which will no doubt be used for your own gain as well as the odd charity do.



Did you ask fellow entertainers (Jonnie Lee, Jonnie Hawkins, Kerry from Abba divas to name but a few) if you could borrow some of their equipment, so more of the takings could go to charity ??



certainly can't remember any apeals on Cyprus44 requesting help....



This is my opinion, which i'm entitled to...

I have not criticised anyone, nor am I making this personal.



Given that the expenses were such a high percentage of the ticket sales (plus sponser money) I have simply supported NN's right to ask the question.



As I said in msg 37 when I joined this discussion, i have no problem with the figures if they can all be justified.



I really do hope that they can, then the question will have been asked and satisfactorily answered - no problem - great - well done to all.

By continuing to not show the figures you are just leaving yourself wide open.



I have made my points and have no desire to keep repeating them, so will now withdraw from this thread unless any further information is produced.



I am sure most readers will understand the common sense behind my and NN's questions!

Ozbey - I feel I have already justified the costs in my earlier posts, This was a huge production, with a minimal budget. As you didn't go - you cannot possibly comprehend this! - Ask the people who went!



Nick - Jonnie and Kerry etc - DID NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT! They were not set up for theatrical productions of this magnitude -ask them!



Nick you are right - we didn't have all the cash to stage this show - but we were willing to take the risk!



There is a lighting desk and lights on the Island, however we were refused permission to use them.



The TKOD was approached with this project, they were both involved, supportive and satisfied with the end results - and I'm sure were looking forward to the next production.



FYI - I have my own kit - no need to use STARFEVER stuff! ( I'm not willing to lug around a stage or a 7 metre high space ship to my gigs.. LOL!)



I Worked my arse off - I barely covered my expenses- I'm now seriously reconsidering doing anymore!

Anna - i hear what you say, but your inexperience has meant only a small proportion of the gate money going to the charity....



If for example you had borrowed the Abba diva's equipment (and i's sure they would have leant it to you for free as it was a charity) and not bothered with all that space ship saftness , you would have still put on an acceptable show for the punter's 20TL, but the net result would have been nearer to £3,000 going to charity than the £1,000.....



The whole spirit of the event was to raise monet for charity - whereas the lions share of the gate money went on expenses....



Be interested in what other board member think...



Had it been advertised that it was a "charity event, but 75% of the takings would not be going to the charity", would people have attended in their droves......

Well done NN and Ozbey. Thanks to you two mistrusting and ungrateful persons, if Anna decides not to do any more and after your permances I wouldn't blame her, the £3000 costs for the stage etc will be wasted. As it stands, can't you get it into your heads that these are now assets to be used, so IF there is another show, far more of the proceeds will be donated. I doubt whether either of you two will have given their time as Anna and the rest of the performers and helpers have done.

I sadly missed the last show and hope there will be another.

I was typing when your message was posted but it doesn't change the fact that most of the £3000 is now assets and I don't remember Johnnie Hawkins lugging a great stage around. Was he even in the country when this production was staged.

The people I have spoken to about the show were delighted with the show and probably most went to and didn't give the charity a thought when handing over their 20 TL

The public did have good entertainment, £1000 was raised for charity, people paid gladly, all those involved put in lots of effort, and there is no such thing as a free meal!!

I am sick of the knockers in this place, no matter how hard someone tries there is always someone else ready to have a pop.

mess 54 - its' a blinkered attitude that got us lot into the mess we are in.....



£4k taken £1k handed over, if you think that stacks up, "yow'm safter than a bottle of pop" as my old Uncle Percy used to say......



If you stage a charity eveny, in my book you are morally obliged to hand the vast majority of the takings over to the charity, 25% to them, in my humble opinion falls way short of the mark...



My very final post on this subject.......

Nick,



Neither myself or the crew were in-experienced in theatrical productions. - do your homework!



The concept, was to give a first class show, not pub style entertainment - Thats not derogatory or meant to cause offense to any other acts - we had the vision and the foresight to fill the gap in the market - with a truely original concept, that would grow and have immediate as well as long term benifits for TKOD. As you yourself, continually moan about the standard of entertainment - I think the show would have been a real eye opener and educating for you - I'm not interested in 'acceptable' It was quality - Hence why we were approached by one of the largest production companies in the UK who came.



I believe had we have done the show without the charity - we would have had similar attendance - because of the above points, and support that both myself and the other members of cast and crew have on this island.

to Negitive Nick



May I respectfully suggest you 'get off your horse' and stop making public posts on a subject you clearly know absolutly nothing about.



You keep harping on about not getting the EQ off of ABBA divas...READ ANNA'S POST'S, Kerry of ABBA DIVA'S does not have the EQ.



It is misguided, misinformed individuals such as yourself that restrict people such as ANNA from taking the time and effort to arrange events or productions such as this...the same misguided, misinformed individuals that will then constantly complain that this island has no entertainment to offer.



After paying for the unbelivable cost's involved in staging a production on this scale..of which you very clearly have no clue...to then be able to pass on 25% of the door takings to a charity is pretty amazing...period.



May I suggest that you stick to passing comment's on PUB GRUB and leave the more important issue's to people who actually know what they are talking about.



what do you think cowboy?

Hi Nick from some of your posts in the past i.e. " fat bird from the curry house " you seem to have a personal issue with Anna, why don't you meet up with her and talk about it with her. I am sure she would listen to what you have got to say, doing it through Cyprus 44 is a little bit cowardly don't you think.

Anyway good luck with your new life in Thailand.

I am not aware that Anna is fat, nor did I know she sang at a curry house.



I wait to be corrected, whilst I eat my massive pie & chips.

"Fat bird from the curry house", charming. NegNick have you looked in the mirror lately? As its debatable who has the largest breasts out of you and Anna.

With all the above critics one would assume there will be many volunteers to do the accounts on the next show, if they bother to do one. Thus leaving the entertainers to entertain.

And finally (hopefully) as one of the fund raising committee for the '112's', and someone who was involved in the production, I would just like to say how good it is to see some of the younger ex-pats here willing to give their blood, sweat and tears to help contribute towards the well-being of everyone in the TRNC. They are a great group of people who worked their butts off to entertain a large number of people with a show that was among one of the best staged here. We were pleased and proud to work alongside them and extremely grateful for their not insignificant donation to the funds. The committee more than most appreciate how much work went into the production and Starfever now have equipment to carry forward to more shows which will both entertain and help to make life better for us all. I have to say in our experience it is often the people that actually contribute little in either time or money that make the most noise! Well done STARFEVER - keep up the good work!

I think that NN is correct in asking the question , I am sure he supports the charity in one way or another.

If the equipment purchased by these funds is used for another purpose or charity , i.e. not 112, will the said production or charity donate money to the very good cause of 112. Technically the equipment etc purchased should belong to 112.

Who in their right mind would ever want to organise a charity event here, its a disgrace the way Anna and the team have been ridiculed.. It sounds like Starfever would have got more respect if they'd have pocketed the whole lot, and stuffed the charity! If someone here was thinking of doing some sort of charity event, i bet their thinking twice now.. Well done.! ABSOLUTE D++KHEADS.. I know Anna very well and she's got balls, and shes got spunk, and i gotta say, ive always liked that in a woman. God help the D++khead when she meets you.. Well done Starfever, you get my respect, my advice, flog the gear and get a hitman.

Once again - Starfever organised an event and pledged to give a donation to the '112's'. That is exactly what they very generously did and everyone who (god forbid) may need an ambulance or the emergency services at some point should be grateful that these young people are putting a bit back into the community in which they live. If everybody did the same just think how great this place could be. Only the other day a young Turkish Cypriot told me how she and her friends had noticed the improvements that have taken place in the emergency services thanks mainly to the efforts of the ex-pats, and how grateful they are. OK so there have been some 'charity scams' in the past by a few unscupulous people but let's just be grateful that the vast majority of us are pretty good generous people wanting to help where we can. As I said previously, well done Starfever, the '112's' are extremely grateful and everyone can rest assured that the money will be put to good use for the benefit of all.
