YD Scapa Flow Gig! GIG TWO: 13th to 20 AUG 2005

[Mdemon]

OK, we've got a year to fill this slot, and only four spaces, so it's safe to say that although someone is bound to drop out, the second boat is going to be a go-er.

With that in mind, can I make a plea to all on the first boat? I am in deep mire with my other half as these two weeks are the Nationals and Worlds in sailing and she-who-must-be-obeyed is competing in both. Now I thought the second week was free but I screwed up and after intense negotiation and tears (mine - a knee in the nuts has that effect), she's said the first week is better than the second "if I MUST".

Soooooooooooooooooooooooooo, would any of you nice people in boat one find the second week preferable and care to swap?

Pretty please??

To all on the first boat....

If it helps then Matt will do the first week and a buddy pair could do the second week, letting John and Matt on the first boat.

I will prompt Mr Binnie to confirm a place anyway, Bren. In effect he has as he has paid his deposit for the first trip (I think).

Only one deposit has been received so far, from Mr Beanie.

In terms of the swapping around of people - well thats up to those who may wish to do so. As long as those who have said they are attending, pay their deposits and eventually the whole fee, then we are 'laughing'

** The cost of the boat for the week is £2200 divided by 12 divers = £183.33 per diver.

Price for this gig is £190 - per diver, which leaves £84 unaccounted for! ..... however .... this money will go towards a sherry extravaganza and nosebag or something similar! Majority vote wins!! WARNING: this will NOT be a secret ballot! I fully expect peer-pressure to be brought to bear!

Deposits WILL be required to secure your place - DEPOSIT = 20% of the individual cost = £40 per diver; As is usual with all these gigs, deposits will be non-refundable!

Ok to send your deposit, follow these instructions please...

Cheques made payable to... Susan Graham (thats my wife NOT my weekend name!) Address is PO BOX 1146, Blackpool, Lancs, FY5 7WU. I will send out a receipt for your deposit once it has cleared. Cheques made payable to anything other than Susan Graham - will not be accepted so dont make them payable to DivingDaisy or AirAssisted or Ian .....

[Lou]

Deposits - that's what happens when you sort it all out just in time for a BH weekend!


Ours will go in the post tomorrow, Ian.

Lou & C

[JAG]

My deposit will be in the post first thing in the morning.

[Diving Daisy]

Just a reminder to all, regardless of gig - a deposit guarantees your place. I have to pay the skipper upfront and would like the money back

If we do fill both boats, it would be a great YD two weeker!
