How's ticket sales?

[Mark.]

I'm not seeing many logo's around.

Could be quite an intimate evening - but don't reduce the number of bottle on the table

[Podie]

Seems unusually quiet. In fact, as a result we haven't decided whether or not we'll go this year...

[markmullen]

I'm afraid Vicky and I are out, a lot going on at the moment, we're both just too busy.

[Podie]

[Mark.]

This is a bit what I'm afraid of.

I suspect there are a few of the regulars are sat in the wings in an undecided state...

I would consider it if it wasnt being held in Gloucestershire. Its at least a 6 hour journey each way which the day after BtaP is not something that is really worth contemplating. Last time we did it we broke the journey up each way and it cost us not only the expense of BtaP but the expense of a further two nights away and 4 tanks of petrol.

I've already said that we can't make it; I can expand that it's because I don't have long left with my Mum.

I know that a couple of regulars have babysitting/childcare issues

I think that leaving it so late to put the tickets on sale means there's less marketing of it by Logos on the site, and less excitement building up towards it, so less interest being drawn?

Likewise.

Thanks both - we don't know how long other than not, but I'm not taking any chances!

We found out of the Tuesday just after I saw you Podie - I'd not have been so gung ho about trying to persuade you to come otherwise I feel dreadful about trying to talk people into going & then not going myself!

You have far more important things to feel dreadful about. The people you were persuading at all grown ups and can handle it.

Thoughts are with you.

[ali_kat]

Thank you

But this isn't about me

How do we get more guests?

[Rude Girl]

Make the most of your time together honey. Thinking about you. BTAP isn't important. There will be other parties.

[ali_kat]

Thanks, I'm missing those too

Anyway, how DO we drum up more bookings?

I'm happy to babysit in Solihull

I posted on another thread that it's a shame that the last few times it has been held on the weekend of Remembrance Sunday, as I would love to come but being ex-forces I make a point of being "on parade" on the Sunday morning, and fear that I wouldn't make it after BT&P!

I'm sure that there may be quite a few in the PH demographic with the same problem.

Sorry to hear your news Ali.

Thoughts are with you,
