On Tuesday last week I received a phone call out of the blue, from the event organizer of a local club, asking me whether I could do a full day demo on Sunday, since the turner they had booked was not contactable, their website was down, and only after frantic calling around it emerged he had suffered a heart attack (not sure how long ago this was).
I said yes, and delivered the demo yesterday. It went OK, but as always there are things I could have done better.
I am now faced with a little ethical dilemma: clearly the other turner, who is a member of the RPT, has suffered a serious health setback, and has lost income. So for me the question arises whether I should share my earnings of the day with that turner?
Any comments welcome.
