Default Update 2 - change of date

Having had a series of exchanges with the hotel now that they are in the process of re-opening, this is the current situation:

1. As Brian outlined above, the possible/probable? continuation of the current Covid rules rules out the meet taking place in October. (i.e. table spacing, numbers allowed at tables and inability to all dine at the same time, no Ceilidh etc.)

2. We looked at delaying till next June but the hotel has NO weekends free between 1st May and 30th Sept!! (all 2020 weddings were shifted into an already busy 2021).

3. Despite us making a case for refunding deposits, the hotel is not prepared to do that and is falling back on "normal Terms and Conditions". They will, however, as "a gesture of goodwill", hold deposits for up to 12 months to enable a personal stay at the hotel if people can't make a revised date for the meeting. We are aware that some have paid more than just a small deposit.

4. In the light of the above, we have currently moved all the bookings to 23/24th April 2021 this being the only date available (without it being winter).

Obviously, this may not suit everyone so, if all who have booked can now consider what they want to do - and those who haven't booked look to see if they can make the April date.
Will will start a new thread for this revised date and paste over the 2020 booking list so please amend /delete as appropriate when its posted in the 2021 thread.
