The rules, call them guidlines are there for skippers and divers, if we all use YD as a medium to organise or sign up to trips then seems reasonable that we all accept the rules too. Seems to me if you don't like the rules book directly through the skipper that way you agree to whatever Ts and Cs are agreed at the time. I guess it would have been different if Elfyn had asked for a deposit, I bet Zok wuld have tried harder to fill his slot then... |
Or if I new that there were rules/guidelines set up and in place.
As an occasional visitor to YD I was not aware of that thread until after the fact. If at the start of any thread organising trips there was a pointer or link saying that this trip being organised on the understanding that these guidelines must be understood and followed then fair enough, yes I would have tried harder to make sure I was available.
Even a remark from AD’s reply to me on the thread saying “you do understand that if the places aren’t filled then we will still expect full payment”
As far as I was concerned at the time everything was honky dory, that was until a couple of weeks after the trip when I received a PM asking for £140.
So while I do accept that I was wrong for not following the rules, equally I am reluctant to make any payment because if I had known I would have been on the boat, and my family would have been celebrating my parents anniversary a couple of days later.
As a final I’d just like to apologise to both Terry and Elfyn and just say it was never my intention to cause you any grief
