I am aware of the legal side. If I chargre a fee then I could be libile. If there ever ia a charge I postba disclsimer.
I tried an event where people needed to buy a ticket. No one wants to spend the money.
Someone askef if the event was in New York City. It is not. The adminstrators of the forum have told me not to list events on the forum.
Thank you everyone for you responses. I think we can end it now. This went onto six pages.
Perhaps you did not see seme of the earilier responses. I did cancel the event. I have other events scheduled so I can't reschedule this one.
I am just going to try and do better planning.
I do agree this would be a simple solution.
Unfortunatley it may not work out to be this simple.
Just and an example I had several people coming to one of my events. The day of the event several attendies got stuck in a traffic jam and did not make it. I ended up with just a couple of people. One was the person in question. This event though was on a main street.
Thank you for your response.
I don't think anything like that would be necessary. I don't think this person is a stalker.
As I have mentioned a few times this person has not caused any problems at any of my events and is has been pleasant to everyone and for the most part remains quiet.
I just know that the few conversations I have had with this person and some email communcations didn't sit well with me.
After I beleive the third communcations is when I began to feel very uncomfortable feeling.
Most of my events would be where there would be other people around and I usually do have one or two people I know with me.
It was just this particular event that there would be an area that may be on the deserted side and no one I know was available to join the event. Originally I did have people I know coming. Then their plans changed.
This person has communcated with me a few times already about the event and they were attending.
If the weather is cold other people may not not attend even if they confirmed. This person would definately show up not matter what it seems.
My concern was that on the day of the event even with people confirming attendance they may not show up. I may not know that I may be alone with this person until they day and time of the event.
It turns out I had the cancel the event anyway. I only found out yesterday. The area I was going will be closed.
I have been an orgnaizer for several years and had not expereinced any problems.
From now on I will just make sure I have some better planning in place so I would not be alone with anyone.
Sorry but your response would not make any sense.
Non attendance is a problem for most groups.
If the people who do not show up have never previously attended any or my events and I have never personally met any of them I would have no way to make anyone uncomfortable.
This my own personal group and I am the sole organizer. So there is no one else to organize.
I belong to another organization that has asked me to be the organizer for the group.
If I was making anyone uncomfortable I would not have been asked.
Thank you everyone for your responses.
I unfortunately did not have anyone I know that could attend. That would have solved my problem. Part of the event was in an area that could be deserted. That was the other issue..
Over 20 people had signed up. That does not mean 20 would come.
One event I had 20 people sign up. Two showed up.
I have cancelled the event. Not because of the person that made me uncomfortible. The area is being closed off for the next few days.
Thank you to the people who offeted to attend.
I am not in New York.
Thank you everyone for your replies.
I decided to cancel the event.
No it was nothing like that.
As I mentioned this person has not done wrong at the events.
There had been some email responses that have made me question them.
As an example I had to cancel one of the events due to lack of attendance. This person"s response to the cancellation expressing their disapointment came across like this event was their entire life.
Yes I am planning to ask for confirmation from people.
If I don't get responses back I will cancel it.
If I acquired a stalker maybe I can have them go after my boss.
Yes I agree about staying away.
