Thanks for the comments so far guys. I'll wait to hear from a few more before committing to numbers, so won't stick at 16 just yet. In the meantime I've added Elliot and GhostyDog as 'reserves'.
To give the day as much flexibility as possible, I'd like to suggest two sessions rather than one. One session can be limited numbers - 8? to give extra tuition time, but the other could be perhaps 10 or 12 to get a few more people involved and to get the cost per driver in that session a little lower.
This is subject to agreement from the instructor, but what are your thoughts?
1. Emtee
2. Adam N
3. GT Dan
4. MAF260 (subject to date and me having something RWD this time!)
5. Newton AM & PM possibility
6. Paulm (should have silver lady finished)
7. Nick P (subject to work commitments)
8. Ben3200gt (subject work commitments and a fully functioning car!!)
9. Andrew
10. Yeti (an yes, I am superstitious!)
11. Woody (sounds like a laugh, keen but work dependant).
12. Adrian (MAF's mate)
13. Enzo
14. Sofia
15. Dom
16. Bal
Reserves.
1. GhostyDog.
2. Elliot.
I've now had the booking form through that I need to sign and return, however in doing so I'll need to give a 10% deposit, so £240 or £15 per participant as it currently stands and subject to my suggestion above.
In signing and returning the booking form a minimum 50% cancellation charge also applies. As of the 20th August it rises to 75%, and as of the beginning of September it rises again to a full payment charge. I don't foresee us cancelling , but please take posting your interest seriously, as a cancellation charge falls to me to resolve, not the forum.
So...
This will be the payment schedule...
I will PM my account details to the 16 on the list asking for a deposit payment of £15.00 per driver.
Depending on comments received, and how the session numbers evolve, I will then also ask the 'reserves' for the deposit payment.
On 1st September I will PM everyone on the list asking for full payment, which needs to be passed in full to Rockingham no later than the 20th September. At this point I'd expect to have numbers confirmed, and therefore exact payments can be calculated.
If you are on the list and choose to drop out I'll do everything possible to find a replacement driver to take your place and / or discuss with the other drivers to absorb the cost of your place, but if neither is possible, a refund cannot be guaranteed.
So one way or another we have about 4 weeks to get everything confirmed.
Sorry to get into this sort of stuff, but please bear in mind I organise these things on a forum handshake. Sadly Rockingham won't take the same view.
Thanks, Miles.
