Please Note:
As always, if you are thinking of coming along the rules basic principles of logic courtesies as always apply. They are of course very simple.
- If your name is not on the list [left via comment] – you can’t go. No offence. That said…
- If you need to drop out – that’s fine but please do so as soon as is possible rather than simply not turn up at all – you not showing on the day may just stop someone else from going. This isn’t to sound in anyway rude it’s very simply because….
- I don’t get paid nor receive any gratuities for this. It’s my Sunday too
- If numbers are going over put your name down on the waiting list and give me a call. We’ll fix something for you. Because…
- The quota is most likely not decided by me. But then this isn’t the national concert hall.
- Do enjoy yourself
Got a suggestion… thoughts or comments below
