Disappointed

I was going to post this on Marhals Forum, but there again it would not be seen by the majority of club members..
Some weeks ago I posted my Birthday trip on 2nd May and Iguana very kindly suggested that instead of a BBQ that he would provide a full sheep, salad etc @50 dhs per head. This would involve Iguana organising the meal to be delivered to the desert by a non trip member. Many members signed up for the trip. Suddenly other Marshals announce trips for this date and people drop out of my trip to join others leaving me confused as to who is attending after Iguana has arranged the meal for a certain number of people.
I have received many SMS and PM,s dropping out as people are joining other trips. Have you any idea how much planning goes into trips on your behalf. For this trip I travelled to Khatim one afternoon, spotted out the deflation point/ meal point etc. I am seriously thinking that this will be my last trip as a Marshal, it has taken the shine off what I thought would be a great birthday.
I thought that we had sorted this out on the Marshal forum, but obviously not. If you sign up for a trip make sure that you commit to it, exceptions should be personal/job related not another trip which appeals to you.
Who stands the loss for the provided meal?? I will still enjoy my day with those of you are attending, but food for thought!!
