QUESTIONS

ok thanks people ,i will take them then if its best for you but you must be certain to delete my details as soon as you have finished with them .

Kim, if you want to give out your bank details, it would be easiest for me too, but don't feel pressured to do so.
It is very easy though.

i will let the ones who have no other option use it but everyone else can use cheques , thats fair enough i think , so just you and billie i think it was for transfers ,might have been ruth too , will check back

Transfers for me too Kim, seeing as I asked first,lol. Helen can tell you all about it.

I never use cheques if I can help it.

oh yes , i knew there was someone else , remember you said about bob spending money like water , its normally a woman does that . yes thats ok .
jo ,lorraine and billie then
will pm helen now she seems to be back on line

as for internet transfers im waiting for a reply from my bank about costs ,as soon as i find out i will let you know . can anyone tell me how they work and what you have to do with them

ditto what the others have said. I use transfers for money to my 'Park voucher' friend, though I have now set up SO. But last year each month I just paid by bank transfer. Also pay my sister when I need to send birthday money.

I will send cheque though, cos I need to put cash into the bank first, so might as well post cheque the same day. Is it just payable to your name hun xx

Mmmmmmmmmm will have to locate cheque book... last time I tried to pay by cheque they wouldn't except it!

yes just to my name thanks karin

I expect you all saw it on the news before Christmas - cheques are going to be
phased out over the next 9 years. I use them for subs etc, and will be difficult to
adjust without them, but I knew it would happen one day. In most cases it
will be up to the recipient to arrange something else.

Also it's safer if Lou does cross her PO and make it payable to you, Kim: no problem there as you can pay it into your bank account. If it goes astray without being crossed, anyone can cash it.

I knoww hat you mean but most post does not go astray though does it lynda ,id prefer uncrossed .
steph , i saw that on the news about cheques but they also said they have to find something to replace them before they can phase them out . They mentioned ppl that we have to the house etc like plumbers ,haridressers etc they do not have access to machines for cards and ppl dont always have ready cash ,i know my hairdresser does not like cash because she spends it ,if she has a chq then it goes to her account , so i wonder what they will come up with .

I just read through this whole thread again and still can't find how much.

Thanks Kim, still dense
From what I can see it comes to about £19 or £22.50 plus £3.75, for tea & coffe plus £7.50 for a different tea & coffee in the food etc list so that's about £30.25 or about £32.75 depending on how many go, so I think I'll just send a cheque for about £33.00 and that should do it?
We pay for meals separately, yes?

I think at the moment its £26.50 to Kim the rest we pay up there, thats £19.00 for big room and £7.50 for two days tea and coffee, have I got that right Kim.

this is how we stand at the minute ladies .
at the momnet we are waiting to hear from suzy , she has yet to confirm her attendance or not .
with suzy its 18 ppl and will be £26.25 per person which includes meeting rooms and tea/coffee in the meeting rooms
without suzy its 17ppl and will be £27.28 per person which includes meeting room and tea /coffee in the meeting rooms .

You yourself are responsible for booking and paying for anything else which includes ...
hotel room
breakfast
evening meals
drinks at bar
midday lunch if you want any ,the system for this ( if we have one ) has yet to be decided .

i have pm'd suzy but as she does not come on here a lot lately it may not get an answer for a while , so if anyone is in contact with her will you give her a nudge in this direction please

THanks Kim, I just assumed you'd say a figure when it was needed, I'd rounded the whole thing in my head that I would want about £150 in total, but that I would need spending money come the time. it was easier that way. With my workshops and the craft day I did, I've already paid for it, so I am a very very happy bunny. Not a big drinker, but I will have the odd one. or two

That's great ta, I thought there must have already been a figure I'd missed when everyone was talking about sending you the money. I'll hold on then. I just didn't want to be holding things up.

I just texted Suzy and she asked me to say YES for her, hooray.

thanks karelyn .so then ladies the final price ( unless , of course we lose any more of you and it goes up a little) will be ...

18 ppl at £26.25 per person for meeting rooms and tea/coffee .
can you make sure i get the monies by mid march please

Perhaps I'll text her and tell her to get her bum back on here.
Don't like a goat free forum.

please never think that i am not thinking of you all. i even dream about you all, when i get sleep....

SHOUT OUT TO THE MANCHESTER PEOPLE!!!
Would anyone considering car sharing down??? Will gladly put my half in for petrol, just dont feel its fair on Gary to drive me down, drive back up again, drive down, then drive back up again! (Also not good for the enviroment!).

One question bout the Photo/LO swap, can I ask make a request for my LO to be 8x8??? I only ask because I dont actually own a 12x12 album

Kate not sure that I'll be able to drive that distance on my own, but thinking of putting Tom on the inusurace so he can take me, and you too, otherwise would have to be the train and don't fancy that with all the baggage!

No reason why not, Kate. Whoever does yours can easily cut a bit of 12 x 12 down.

Another option would be Cath if Gary drove us both down, would save putting Tom on your insurance and help us out with petrol there and back again (not the trips in between). But I dont know what car Gary will have in April, doesnt look like he's gonna have his nice ford rental for too much longer!
No way am I doing this trip on the train, belugh, doesnt bear thinking about

Now all we have to do is find someone willing to chop up a lovely sheet of 12x12

Well not me for certain

Ok I think I'm being a bit dense and to be honest right now thats probably true...but............

All the swaps but mainly the Photo/LO swap. These are voluntary aren't they. I know the Twinchie one isn't and thats fine. But the others, card kits and Photo one are they 'only if you want to' type. I am not good at scraping pics and I would worry immensley about it. I presume the pictures are handed over and taken home to do, cos we won't necessarily have the stuff with us to match. Is that how it works. Or when you hand photo over do you also hand over the stuff you want it made from and the other person puts it all together over the weekend !!!


Sorry I know I'm daft.
