Forum Fest 2014 tentative attendee

[kmw]

It's hard work doing the planning ... Thanks Gert

I remember last year when I searched for accommodation it was tough to find something reasonable - I somehow manage to get on wotif a 1 bedroom apartment for $99 per night because I booked 5 nights. Average for this place is $180-220. As my husband & daughter would be coming across I would probably look for something with a kitchen again.

When I have a spare moment & on the main computer I'll give a run down of what we did in a week in & around Hobart, the one thing we missed was the markets though. One place I recommend if there before or after & don't want breakfast in the hotel is Jackman & McRoss ... Pastries amazing & the French toast with mascarpone cheese & berries yummy 😄

I would say give it to Monday to set it up in their system and then book  away.  Please let up know when you have done so.

FROM THE GRAND CHANCELLOR


Hope you are having a pleasant week.

It has been decided to make it easier for your attendees that they call and
quote a rate that we will call Thermomix Forum Fest 2014 which will be the
quoted rates below for their stay.

Yes all details below are correct and confirmed.

We look forward to welcoming you to Hotel Grand Chancellor Hobart.

Our Reservations Manager is setting up the rates in the system for you,  as
mentioned all your guests will have to state is something along the lines of
:
" I'm wanting to book a room for the following dates, I was told to quote
the Thermomix rate..."

Because it's a specially set up rate bookings will not be able to be done on
line however they can send an email to this address requesting a room as
long as they specific which kind or room they're choosing, check in and
check out dates and a credit card will be requested for each booking just to
guarantee it in the system. No payment is required until the time of
departure from each guest so the credit card is simply a standard guarantee
of the booking at time of booking.

I have passed your details to the Restaurant Tasman Manager Tegan Magee who
will be in touch with you in regards to the dinner as stated below.

We are so pleased you have decided your accommodation will be with the hotel
whilst in Hobart and look forward to welcoming you to Hotel Grand Chancellor
Hobart.

Should you have any enquiries please do not hesitate to call me or email me
at any time and I will be happy to assist you.

Thank you for your time on the phone, it was a pleasure speaking to you .

Many Thanks

Kind Regards,

This information has now been added to the first posting so it will always be easy to find.  With forumfest 2014 being so far off, believe me it will get lost as we chatter away about our holiday in Tassie.  Thanks Gert for getting us to this point, now we can relax a bit and just go with the flow, well maybe not - there must still be trips to organise, our flights to book and decisions to be made by some as to whether they are going to join us or not  

[JulieO]

I will book my room on Monday.  DH has said he would love to come along too, though he will probably do his own thing during the organised outings,  but will come to the dinner on the Saturday night. 

[gertbysea]

Lovely Julie. Looking forward to meeting you and DH. . After you book let us know so we can note it .

Gert

This is all so exciting. Almost 12 months away and lots of planning done. Thank you Gert.

[gertbysea]

Nearly booked my flights today when I saw a good buy but that is nuts. I'll wait

[trudy]

Thanks for all your hard work Gert.  The next 12 months won't take long to go if it's anything like this one.

[jeninwa]

Thanks for all you have done to organise this so far Gert. I'm going to book when I see cheap flights, haven't decided if I will go for 1 or 2 weeks yet.

[gertbysea]

Judy and others were helping as well Trudy. The hard part is making decisions that hit others wallets and trying to get  the best deal for everyone. It is easier if we have more input but so be it. Done now.

Jen I hope you will stay at least one night in the hotel with us.

Gert

Excellent thanks guys. So what's the exact dates we are booking? Wonder if I should let work know now to block me out for those days lol. But seriously the way they going they might need it, it's almost impossible to get a day off with some of the clients I work with because there is only a hand full of people who can work with these clients. Not sure what they would do if I got sick and couldn't go to work.
I will book my room soon too, will have to see if DH wants to come along as well.

[gertbysea]

Dede go to the first post and all the indfo is there.

Here is something else to explore. I can recommend The Lark  Distillery as it is not far fro the GChotel!

[judydawn]

That's a familiar face Gert.

Mandi it sounds as if you will need to put your name down for some time off.

[jeninwa]

I can recommend the grandvewe cheese, lovely restaurant and great view. It's quite a drive out of Hobart, the vanilla whey liqueur is different. They had a stall at Salamanca last time I was there.

[dede]

Dede go to the first post and all the info is there.

Gee I was hoping someone would just tell me cause I'm too lazy to go back to the beginning of the post
Oh well I better have a look lol
