I really don't see the problem here....
The event is not a profit-making event for BMW Clubs Africa. David de Bruyn and his helpers are not paid for their time and effort. They do it for the love of the brand and the goal of giving BMW riders a fun event to participate in and enjoy.
The accommodation arrangements are covered by a business enterprise
The entry Terms + Conditions were known in advance on registration.

The cut-off date was known in advance and has passed.
No refund is due.I entered within hours of the entries opening and paid my entry fee. Due to a coccyx injury I have had to withdraw.
I am happy to forfeit my entry fee as the decision is mine and the T+C's were known to me.
(It is certainly not going to bankrupt me.)
Any surplus that
may result after the event will go as a donation to the Clocolan community as stated in the event T+C
In addition to my original entry fee, I also made a small donation to that cause up front - as provided for in the T+C.
I was looking forward to the event.
Sadly for me, I won't be there.
All who
are going, enjoy it!

See you next year...
unless it clashes with the Great Kei Gathering, in which case I won't see you!
