Good Month May normally celebrate my Birthday,but not anymore. Think I might start counting backwards.

Im quite liking September as months go... July if the weather's good... January is depressing.... March - May ..Little baby lambs.. daffodils and such....

*pondering......*

and now not

Can we get Xmas out of the way then get giddy in january??

We know that Fun but the truth is we don't actually have that much time. Decisions are needed because if, as the original post/poll shows, the majority are looking for an SP exclusive ball - and that means a minimum of 200 (which we think is really unachievable based on previous events and current membership).

So the reality means we'll probably have a shared event and the organisers usually sell out well in advance - so we have to confirm numbers for them to reserve tickets. If we don't get in quick they will be sold.

And yes, it's a pain posting this 7 months early and yes it would be nice to get Xmas and stuff out of the way but the reasons stated above stand.

I rest my case

Midgie et al,

We asked what your fav month was simply to try and point people to the May Ball thread (as we did in other forums with other equally pointless threads) ... but I am sure you understand that.

And yes we have noted that you have expressed interest. So this thread isn't about you, it's about other people going to and reacting to the May Ball thread and expressing their interest.

And yes we know May is a long way of and there are loads of things happening before then but the fundamental problem is that the numbers of interested people is an important figure to know sooner rather than later as a small number sets the earlier date and we have to advise the organisers to RESERVE tickets for SP members to match that amount and anything close to 200 (ha ha) sets the later date but still requires us to advise the organisers as they have to arrange premises, facilities, 20 staff and professional performers.

Another week, maybe two and we will be forced to take the shared event by default and then it will be dead easy to organise as it will be first come, first served and SP members will have to take pot luck.

Hmmmmm...Mrs MWM here:wave:
I think this May Ball idea should be left on the shelf until next year.
