Important and urgent news regarding Hamm Coach

[purejurrasic]

Hi all

Its now less than 4 weeks away and we have the problem we dreaded !

There are just over 40 requested booking forms that have not been sent back and a few that still have not paid any balance.

As at today, we have just 64 confirmed names (inc deposits only)

Our problem?

Its not enough to be able to go ahead with two 49 seat single deckers !

We have three choices.

1. a smaller second coach.

2. Cancel the second coach altogether.

3. Get the 79 seater double decker

Implications of each:
1. Not viable as the coach is only £100 cheaper and not as comfy. ruled out.

2. Would mean some 15 people not being able to go.

3. Everyone can go, but some may not like this.

So, our question is what to do?

I personally really dont know, I prefer the double decker, with limited numbers, and we are garunteed the double decker will be 100% working. I dont really wana have to tell 15 people they cant go, but at the same time, dont wana p*ss others off by changing to the double decker.

So, we have to decide what to do by Sunday 26th, and pay for the coaches on the monday.

If we cancel a coach, those who cant make it but have paid for tickets will automaticly be refunded, those who would rather now not go will be refunded. We will then have to work on a last in first out basis to reduce numbers to 49. we would then have a full coach which may not be as nice as we hoped.

If we go for the double decker, no one will be left behind, but some will have issues surrounding the coach. there is less leg room in this coach compared to the 49'er, but we will limit the numbers so there will be spare seats to stretch out on. This coach also has had the audio and air con systems replaced and refurbished drinks facilities

So, whats your thoughts, help us try to keep everyone happy ! if you would rather pull out please PM me as it may get lost in the thread, like wise, if you have booked seats you cant use now, please PM me.

I will collate all the info and steve and I will decide on sunday what to do

I am sorry its come to this, we took on the second coach based on requests but have been badly let down by many !

ALSO, If your sitting on the form and still plan on coming, YOU HAVE to get it to us by friday night. It can be emailed back and payment made by paypal to ensure it arrives on time.

Everyone get them forms back, fill both coaches!!!!!!!!! come on its going to be worth it.

To say i am pissed off about this is a slight understatement, we dont actually make any money out of this, all me and tony get is a free seat, we decided to continue selling seats on the say so of over 40 people that still wanted seats, to date we only have about 16 forms back PLEASE PLEASE if you still have the forms and want to go get back to us, you can email or post the form and pay cash cheque postal order or paypal the payment to us, we cant make it any easier than that

I am going to do everything i can not to let 15 people down!

[bribrian]

Well my obvious choice would be...
3. Get the 79 seater double decker...., as i would be totally gutted to be one of the ones to be told the bad news, like everyone else, i'm really excited & looking forward to the trip.....
I would have thought that if the double decker was guarenteed 100% that most people would be happy to go with that & not see others disappointed.......

[purejurrasic]

To be honest, thats our thinking aswell, but have to let others have a say aswell !

Rest assured, its the very last thing we wana do to let peeps down !

[rezin8er]

I fully agree with Bribrian , I,ll just be glad to be going .
Can,t wait .

If you get a double decker i begzee a top seat

[jaysnakeman]

better to go with the decker than to stop people going i suppose

[phil]

I also agree with brian,really,really looking forward to going,DBL decker sounds great

[cornmorphs]
