If it's not too late I would love to go on the tramcar lunch thanks Marina. Apologies for my absences but life is very hectic ATM. Looking forward to a break in Melbourne :)

DH and I won't be able to make the tramcar lunch unfortunately - a shame as we have had dinner on the tram and it was wonderful.

On Friday I will be putting the deposit down on the Tramcar Restaurant.  I don’t need any money just yet, but could anyone else contemplating joining us please add your name to the list in the next day or two.

When it comes time to pay in full all bookings will then become non-refundable, so if you cannot make it I will not be able to refund your money.

After we have got the final numbers on Friday I will pm everyone with my bank account details.

Thanks Marina, perhaps everyone should respond with a yes or no so that you can be sure they all know this option is available.

Just catching up on posts now and I would love to do the tram car - 1 person.  Adrian has said he happy for me to do it and he will do something with Alayna.

Jamberie sorry to hear that you can't make it and Judy good to hear that you are on the mend.  Looking forward to going away as its my first trip away this year.

I'm really sorry to say but Richard and I now aren't able to make it to the forum fest.
We are cancelling our flights and the hotel accommodation.
 
Richard's favourite Aunty (who lives in the UK) has been diagnosed with cancer and doesn't have that long to live.  Richard's parents are going over to visit, along with Richard and one of his sisters.  Having to organise the availability of 4 people, Richard's annual leave and other factors means the dates they are going to the UK clash with the forum fest dates. It couldn't be avoided.
 
I guess I could technically still go to Melbourne on my own, but with Richard's parents away we have no one to look after the dog and it would be hard with us both away in different places at the same time.  The UK trip is going to cost a fair bit, so the finances will be helped by not going to Melbourne.  Sad, but we couldn't see any other way around it.

I'm so disappointed as we were both really looking forward to seeing everyone and catching up.  I'm also disappointed that I won't be able to make it to the Alyce Alexander cooking class that Chookie organised.

That's bad luck for you Katie but these things happen.  How nice that most of Richard's family are going  over.

I let Trudy know that her DH is the only male on the tram trip Marina so if you haven't already booked, please remove him from the booking.  If you have booked, they're fine with that too.
