Probus Christmas Lunch 2013 |
Surprisingly,
we had a sudden surge in bookings for this Christmas Lunch after a decline over
the past few years. There were 83 bookings this time, up by eight on 2012 but
unfortunately two couples and one member's wife had to drop out at the last
minute due to illness. Once we've given the hotel our final numbers for catering we're
committed to paying so are unable to refund last minute cancellations, which
makes it additionally unfortunate for those missing out, but sadly there's
nothing we can do about that. However, on a brighter note, we were pleased that
the price was only 50p more than last year, which was an increase of well under
3%. Cliff Elliott |
