Hello everybody

I've been notified by several of you guys that aparently there are problems in getting the hotel rooms booked?

Anyway, Frederik went to the hotel and asked why, they claim there is no problem in booking. He also notified management of the hotel about this.
You can send your booking request on a mail on info@brugotel.be or through their website: www.brugotel.be.

Don't forget to mention "DCB12" to get the special event rates. If anyone has problems with booking or anything else about DCB-12, drop me or Frederik a message and we'll sort it out for you!

Sorry for this but we're monitoring this closely.

Regards from Belgium!

Hi!

Just to let you know, hotel booking problems have been cleared up, there was a problem with their system. Somebody probably spilled some beer over the server or so

Anyway, 4 rooms booked, 3 UK and 1 German!

Regards from Belgium!

Any chance of being able to do the registration via PayPal or something? UK Banks charge quite a high fee to send money to foreign accounts.

That I don't know, but I think it would be difficult to get the money from Paypal on our account ...

You can always send a message to Frederik (frederik.van.acker@prodim.biz), he's in charge of the financial side of our event.

I'm surprized there is so little response to our event. Is nobody from the UK interested in this or is it still to early to say?
We allready have Mark and Mary Hooper confirmed that they will come over, someone is coming over from New Jersey (USA) and Joe Murray (Northern Ireland) is looking into it ...

@Arran J: you mentioned in Luxembourg to Frederik - yes I'm in! Are you still in?

@Alistair V: didn't you want to visit your grandfathers brother in Flanders? This is a good excuse to do so ...

@cis6409: you 've never been to Belgium ...

@bozzzydmc: I thought you confirmed you attendance to Frederik together with Alistair?

@bttf brian: lost interest in Belgium?

Anyway, just checking 'cause I have the feeling no one is reading this ...

I hope you haven't got any taxis booked?

@Arran J: you mentioned in Luxembourg to Frederik - yes I'm in! Are you still in?

Unfortunately due to a change in my personal circumstances I am unable to commit to taking a single weekend off of work in May or June as yet. This isn't a "no", but I am just not sure at the moment. I am hoping things are going to work out, as I would love to come - you have all always been good to come over and support our events, since the early days.

Anyway, just checking 'cause I have the feeling no one is reading this ...

I am finding this with my business too. With things being as they are financially, people seem more unwilling to commit to spending this sort of money on a "luxury" this far in advance. Whilst my hotel still fills every weekend, in 2007 we would be fully booked for a particular weekend over 3 months in advance in most cases, now it is 1 day in advance if we're lucky!

As explained in my emails I think the problem here is the actual cost for the majority of people

The fact of the matter for me is I can't really afford the £600.00 + that I will easily need to attend .. I only wish I could guys I would have loved to attend, the only way I could would be to fly over and and share costs with others on car hire etc

We have been very spoilt at Caley, I know for me it only costs around £250 for 3 days there including petrol and drinks
