louby loo Posted February 19, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gezabel Posted February 19, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 25, 2013 Share 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). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 28, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helenee Posted February 28, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
