CANCELLED EDINBURGH SOCIAL 23RD MAY

Jump to newest

We are sorry to say the Edinburgh Social is cancelled for 23rd May. We're not too sure what's happened and we'll never name and shame but we want to ensure nobody goes to anymore expense than they've already gone to. We have found out there is no venue booked, however we are desparately trying to find another venue whether that be in Edinburgh or Glasgow or in between. If anyone can help we'd really appreciate it. We know all of you have gone to the expense of either babysitters, new frocks or hotels rooms or more so we want to do damage limitation as far as we can. Please look at the forum tomorrow and on Friday for an update. Very sorry to inform you of this and pleased be assured that other people have been very successful in organising and running the socials so don't let it put you off for the future. We are unsure what has happened to your money, but please mail us if you have sent money for this event so we have you on record and maybe able to help you at a later date.

Remember that many hotels have a cancellation policy, for instance Premier Inn is usually 1pm on the day of arrival. So, check your hotels policy and maybe dont cancel until last minute so if another venue is found then you still may have a hotel for it.

Thanks for all the mail and messages on here.Today is a new day and we have a few places to call.Please keep looking at the Forum for updates.With regards to money we are trying to find a place that is happy just to take money for the drinks,proving a bit hard with the rugby on in Edinburgh and the cup final in Glasgow. If we cant find a venue would anyone be interested in a house party? Just a thought off the top of my head as we have a fair size garden but unsure of the weather . Watch this space

Edinburgh

a couple of weeks ago i went to a bar called aspen in north bridge and spoke with the manager who said they cordon half the venue free of charge and can hold about 100 individuals, and they even have a buffet if more than 30 attend.

i urge whoever is taking charge now (i'm assuming gandl) to give them a call and see if they can be of any assistance.

Right with the help of lots of people we now have a new venue in Glagow, it has been used by us before and is very accomodating.

Please let me know who wants to come along.If we get enough people say about 100 then it is free.

Please mail me or post a note on forum as i dont want this to be a hashed together evening, afterall its just about fun.

left the room for a wee while....

I dont need to know the full story, none of my businesS. Just want to say ' please show kindness ', there will be reasons and there will be a solution..

without question, the person concerned should have asked for help way before now...

but public flaying's and lynching's dont help.....

MONIES HAVE BEEN OFFERED TO PAY FOR A VENUE .....

I WILL POST MY MOBILE NUMBER ON MY PROFILE IF NEEDED TO CONTACT REQUIRED FOR VENUE...

as dont think can post numbers on forum

Can understand what people r saying about mentioning venues however we will only mail people who want to attend the night where the venue is. With respect to buzz we have no idea what's happened however we did not want to let everyone down that had booked their places so have done our best with others' help to get a new venue with a dj for free if its well enough attended. Seem to have lost the original post for the social so don't know everyones names who wanted to go so pls mail or post on here or phone call us number is on our profile. In the meantime for those we know wanted to go we are now mailing out the details if you don't get an email let us know. regards gandl xx
