Okay, after receiving numerous replies regarding new possible dates, the event has moved to 12-14.
Please indicate on either the Facebook page or the new thread if you can make it.
Gentle bollocking follows...
We go to considerable lengths to try and pick dates that the maximum number of people can make. Hence why we consulted with everyone over a period of weeks, proposed a date, waited for a while for any objections, reminded people to object if they had any objections, and since nobody objected to the proposed date or even asked us to wait while they confirmed their availability, we went with the proposed date.
It is therefore disappointing that within a day of doing this, people contacted us to say that the proposed date will not work for them. This information could have been given to us sooner.
Although we are happy that the new date works for more people (everyone that could make the old date can still make the new date), some people have lost holiday as a result of this date change.
Please don't let this happen again. If you want your availability considered, let us know when we ask.
If you take issue with this, feel free to contact me.
