There will be an Attendance Sheet put out at our February meeting. If you sign up to go you must make
your payment by Wednesday 11 February so that I can make the booking on that day. Payment has to be made at the time of making the booking. So check your social engagements now so you can commit to attending and paying. If you’re paying by cash please have the correct money for the option you want.
No payment – no booking.
BUT, if you do decide at a later date that you would like to join those that paid by the due date you may still be able to attend – IF there are any seats left. The late payments will incur a booking fee charged by
Flamingos so the payment will be $55.85 Meal+Show or $26.55 Show only.
