Will they be available night before Geoff?
You can though I'd appreciate it earlier if at all possible as the forms will have been printed of who's paid by then.

For those of us with an aversion to PayPal and who are happy to pay the premium price on the door, is that "buy your tickets" or "sign up in the Events section"?

JG
Buy, as in handing over some money. Signing up in the Events page simply helps planning but doesn't confirm (or guarantee) your attendance.
I had confirmed my attendance originally without sending a payment (me being a dunce!) - have just sent the monies via the paypal. This means I am coming, although, I would have gladly paid on the day, but no harm, no fowl.

When in doubt - Contingency plan 2A. Someone didn't buy the milk - 2A. Someone sneezed at Swansea - 2A. A driver complains the cab is too cold - 2A. Unable to operate a HEx service 4 vice 8 - 2A. Points failure at Ipswich - 2A. Landslip at Pitlochry - 2A

Think I'll pop along and make my first official meet; arriving from Manchester.
Place booked.

There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

Oh, also - I can bring a widescreen laptop if needed, is it worth bringing it along or are plenty already expected?

The more laptops the more sims/chains we can set up.

I've just booked for me and expressboy1983, the thing is before I fill out the form...how do I add two names for the name badge? I don't want to put 'James, Simon' and end up with one badge for me saying 'James, Simon' lol!


Cheers,

James.

As far as I understand it, the possibility for one person to book for two people has been removed, therefore you will both have to book separately.

Don't think so as I have purchased two units at £24. Simon is unable to pay so I am paying for him.

Tickets already been booked so I am looking forward to this!

He doesn't appear to be a member so get him to sign up and then he can add his name to the list and get a personalised namebadge.

As well as the payment side of things, you need to go to the Events section of the site and fill in the relevant details for the two of you. The badges will probably be generated from this listing, so if you don't have an entry on that list, you won't have a badge. It is rather important to have a badge; previous meets have seen a small number of free-loaders who have eaten without paying so there may be a policy of "no badge, no food" at this meet.

And that is what I am mainly asking about John, the form on the events page says 'Your name, as you would like it to appear on your namebadge' but doesn't say for two people...if that makes sense


Geoff - sorry not expressboy, wrong one I meant DrPepperExpress

Can Simon not just log in and put his own name onto the Events list? If that is not possible, send me a PM in the week before the meet and I'll remember to create 2 badges.

Looking at the small print on the Events page, it now advises "Please pay in the Shop before booking". Does that mean that the pay-on-the-door option is no longer available? This will be a blow to anyone who wants to make a late decision to attend the meet.

On other matters, I'm probably being a bit senior, but is there any option to edit (or even cancel) your booking on the events section once it has been made?

That particular "small" print (though it's the same size as most of the other text you agreed to) has been on there since the day the event was open. In fact, nothing on that page has altered. As I said yesterday, you can still pay on the door.

Click on "My bookings", then the event, then you can alter or cancel your booking.
