    Can we present our scammer of the year awards there too? They sound more exciting than the drivel the BPA have cooked up. Could we 'fine' the delegates for stealing oxygen?
    Still waiting for Parking Eye to send the court summons! Make my day!

    Hope they get Fines(invoices) for inconsiderate and obstructive parking.
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Of course the "star" of this board, PCN-UK, will not be at that award ceremony because they are not members of the BPA, even though that organization's logo is displayed prominently on the PCN-UK website's home page.

    Just thought it would be timely to bump this thread this week!

    I think the date of the ridiculous-waste-of-time-and-money, namely the BPA Parking Awards 'Lunch Jolly' has changed, according to Parking Review it's now Friday 12th March:

    http://www.parkingreview.co.uk/parking_awards/

    And Parkex is in a month's time, 2nd and 3rd March.

    Both events would benefit from a few interested visitors from here and pepipoo...! :D

    Some of us already have our tickets, I believe.

    If you look at the BPA lecture programme for Parkex there is a specific presentation at 4pm on the Tuesday in Theatre 2 entitled "Parking websites: - good, bad and ugly".

    Form an orderly queue to make recommendations for the latter two categories.
    My very sincere apologies for those hoping to request off-board assistance but I am now so inundated with requests that in order to do justice to those "already in the system" I am no longer accepting PM's and am unlikely to do so for the foreseeable future (August 2016). :(

    For those seeking more detailed advice and guidance regarding small claims cases arising from private parking issues I recommend that you visit the Private Parking forum on PePiPoo.com

    I have these dates free in my diary. Wonder what the dress code is? Scruffy jeans, trainers, baseball cap perhaps?

    I hope you've got plenty of tattoos, otherwise you will look out of place!

    Some specially printed t-shirts would be cool, lol. Not sure what text to put on them though.

    I imagine if anyone speaks up against Private Parking Companies will get heavy handed out of the building.

    Would be rather pointless as well, they're all in on the scam anyway. You won't change anyone's point of view there.
