The parking at the District Convention (UK) is free this year.
Does anyone know why this has changed - has their scam been rumbled??

*** km 4/04 p. 7 Announcements ***DISTRICT CONVENTION PARKING: At all convention sites where we have secured control of the parking facilities, the spaces will be made available at no charge on a first-come, first-served basis. No parking tickets will be used, but convention badge cards will serve as identification for parking. Only those who have a state-approved disabled license plate or placard will be allowed to park in the parking reserved for the disabled. Being aware that considerable expense is involved, we can show our appreciation by making voluntary contributions to the worldwide work at our Kingdom Hall or at the convention. Any checks contributed at the convention should be made payable to "Watch Tower." Since parking space is usually limited, carpooling should be done to the extent possible rather than having only one or two persons per car.

Even their announcements about parking seem to indicate that they have done such
a wonderful thing at personal expense. You should appreciate that and give until it
hurts, then give some more. You should be feeling especially guilty if you didn't
carpool, so give even more. -

simplification - less work - charity status - all supposed to be on a donation basis - but I will bet good money, the contributions will be about 50% of what it costs them to hire the car parking
