louby loo Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I want to come!!!! I'm having 'booking issues' though :o Is the double occupancy rate for the whole thing? or just the room? Not sure whether to come alone, bring daugther (who will do her own thing- but will drive ) or should I bring a like minded person? I've only got 24hours to decide (notice poor hubby doesn't even feature in any of the above!!!! ::1a ) 1
Gezabel Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Absolutely gutted I can't come! I knew from the outset that April 12th is my birthday and also that's it's my youngest sons birthday too. WHat I had not taken into account is that it is his 30th birthday and in line with his three older brothers 30th's that means family time. Gutted actually doesn't even come close but hope you all have a wonderful time and look forward to hearing all about it

louby loo Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I so want to go, but no-one wants/can afford to come too, and I don't want to go alone!! Dilemma!! Come!!!! I'm sorta on my own too... (might have daughter - just for the driving she won't be coming to the event itself)
Miacat3 Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I'll be on my own also. Sure there will be more like us. Will be posting my forms tomorrow as I forgot today. Hope I will still be able to come and play as I know tomorrow is closing day.
Steve Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Hi all - With regret I need to let you know we have had to cancel this celebration conference. All those who sent in deposits should by now have received an email to let them know, and within the next couple of days will also receive a small package with their returned cheques and a small gift by way of thanks for signing up. We needed to have the minimum number achieved last week as we were under pressure to finalize the arrangements with the hotel. While we were expecting the event to cost us a little under £5,000, it would have amounted to much more than that if we had given the hotel the go ahead and then not achieved the number of people we needed. Apologies to those who were looking forward to the event (as were we).
Rea Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Oh thats a shame, I'm sure everyone will be sorely disappointed Better luck next time :1b
hali Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 oh dear that is very sad but if you try again i may be able to come this time :1b 1
Rea Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 oh dear that is very sad but if you try again i may be able to come this time :1b I thought that too. I was really only sad on the outside, secretly I was thinking I maybe have another chance! 1
Steve Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Well, that just might make the difference chaps! :1b Anyway, you can enjoy Meatloaf without conflict now, Rea. Hope he's as good as I've heard!
Rea Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 So do I Steve, I also hope the tickets turn up, since being told someone has got us some, there has been no word!! If that falls through it'll have to be uncles 80th :huh:
HappyMaz Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 How sad. I was really looking forward to meeting up with everyone: old friends and lots of new ones. 1
Verona Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 What a shame!!! :( I have only just looked at my emails and seen your message, Steve - i am so disappointed !! There were three of us coming from my Pre-school and i will have to go break the news to them in the morning they will be disappointed as well.
Steve Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Yes I'm sorry Sue - I was looking forward to meeting people as well. Still, as you're just down the road, you should pop in some day! 1
Devondaisy Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Feeling really guilty now as I didn't book in the end, decided it was just too far on my own. Hope you weren't just one person short
Steve Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Haha! No, relax Daisy. We were a fair few short - no-one's fault anyway. Just the wrong time/location/? :1b
Steve Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Although I still think you should come up to Brighton and say hello! 1
louby loo Posted February 26, 2013 Posted February 26, 2013 Perhaps we should all just meet for a 'jolly up' in Brighton!! :lol: xx 1
Guest Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Was gutted to hear that the event had been cancelled. Was really looking forward to meeting other professionals. Received my deposit cheque back this morning and was pleasantly surprised to find my consolation gift inside! Here's hoping you manage to organise one at a later date
louby loo Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 hmmmm... my cheque arrived back safetly, and for some reason I'm now feeling a tad sick- but it was worth it ::1a ::1a ::1a (thank-you) x
Helenee Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Thank you from us too - we are in the bi-election area and so had a little free time this afternoon after all our home visits. We spent the time playing Russian roulette with the gift! I think I won. X
