Many years ago we were invited to run a session at a local pub called the Football. The first Sunday had a half dozen people. 10 or so weeks later we had a regular 50 person turn out. Then came the new landlord who said he thought he could do better.2 weeks later we went in and found 2 local junkies, the landlord and his dog! We didn't stay but left with a great feeling of smugness...:-)
It doesn't help much I know but remember that people reap what they sow. When will they ever learn?
