Quintus 5,399 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Guys, the restaurant wants £5 per head deposit to book our group. We've said we'll get back to them by Friday and they have provisionally booked us in for now. So if we want to go ahead with this, people are going to have to PayPal the amount to either myself or Steef (if he wants to take over). This is based on 34 guests per the list as of now. Please advise asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
publicist 4,643 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I send the money to you. If you don't want tp publish the PP email just mssg me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Actually, if you don't mind it'd be easier for me if participants PM'd me directly about it. That way I can immediately see who is still active in the current list and I can my provide my email address on demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Okay folks, up to now I've had PMs about this from 3 of the names in the list. It's possibly still fairly early in the day at the moment for some, so what I'm going to do is wait till 3PM GMT Friday afternoon (tomorrow) to see if that figure rises substantially before replying with my PayPal email address to anyone. Then I'll just tick 'em all off one by one. Hopefully by that time all the names will have come forward, otherwise I'll take what we have and reduce the booking accordingly. Cheers!

Jay 37,363 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I think instead of 34 people paypaling you £5 it would be much easier if one person just ponied up and people paid him back in person at the restaurant Regardless Marcy and I are absolutely still in for dinner and if you need money ahead of time I'll get it to you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I'm waiting for confirmation from Emilio and Simone if they will attend. Will try to get definitive answer by this evening or tomorrow morning. Quintus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if anybody does want be a hero and pay it all up front, be my guest! ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Just out of curiosity: will the deposit be deducted on the final bill at the restaurant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I say we all get kebabs, and eat them on the steps of the Albert Memorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Good question. I'm assuming it will be (it better had be). I'll see if I can find out. Otherwise, if not I'll cancel. Edit: @Richard I received your PM, thanks. But I noticed you're currently not on the list of names on page 1. So you would make it 35 instead of 34.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I asked because usually that kind of fail safe request from restaurants is asked for very large groups on busy nights or peak hours, at least here in Italy. 35 is a large number, but still manageable by a good restaurant, especially for a very early dinner at 5pm (and all of us will be out of there at 6.30 max, I guess).

Quintus 5,399 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Do they tend to fold the deposit amount into the final bill over there? They do here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Usually, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 I suppose the worst that could happen is the meal might end up costing us all an extra £5 each, but it's probably unlikely. Tbh, I'm thinking folk would probably be better off agreeing amongst themselves at their specific part of the table/s to pay for their orders together as foursomes or whatever anyway, rather than just one great big final bill.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Didn't want to say anything until I was sure but I'm gutted I couldn't make this work out. We'll already be there in mid October and it wasn't feasible to extend the trip or stay longer myself. Gkgyver in attendance could be motivation to spend the extra cash needed though.

Naïve Old Fart 9,528 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Ok, so I'm going "public" with this. This is me, being as open and as honest, with JWfan, as I can be. Most JWfaners know of my - what's the opposite of affection? - for technology. Heck, I couldn't even create my own avatar. How pathetic is that? The thing is...I want to attend the meet, and although I have more than £5 in my personal kitty, I do not have a Pay Pal account. Nor do I want one. This might strike some JWfaners as strange, but that's how I prefer it. I know that I have no right to ask anyone this, but I would be very grateful, indeed, if someone could front the £5 for me. I would, of course, pay them back in full, on the day, and I'd buy them a drink, or two, to say "thank you". I can't say fairer than that. R.

So far it's roughly half of the list that I have heard from. One or two others have contacted me late on with interest so there's a good chance there will be spaces available.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I'm still waiting for confirmation from my friends if they will join, but I don't want to hold up the whole group because of me, so feel free to proceed counting me out for the moment. If I'll receive news in timely fashion, I'll send details and money to Lee. In the worst-case scenario, I'll definitely pop up at least to say hello and grab a drink. And of course I'll be more than available to join anyone for post-concert beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
