no way, did you book by credit card ?? if so at least you'll get your money back.

yeh, by card 'luckily' but they say I have to contact the company and ask for a refund, wait for the administrators and if I don't get one, to forward all paperwork to them.
Is that right ?
Anyone had to do this ?

Herself has just confirmed we have the 'sorry' letters.

Cheers Dibs, not got that phone with me but I get the message now!!!

Darn shame.

Monday 22nd Aug it is then...

Ade.

I doubt it'll be sorted in time for Monday, if ever, but i spoke to Brands and they said Jonathan Palmer is talking to the administrators in an attempt to still run the booked ESS days.

Note they haven't gone completely bust, they're in administration which means someone can buy the ongoing business for 1p if they think it's worth it...

And I've just cancelled my flight to the UK.....
:o:o

The letter says "... the closure of the company and the cancellation of all events ..."
with 5 days to go before _our_ event, I think that means we're stupid to plan on anything happening on monday.

Am I bitter ... well yes (Tony) !
I booked online for the discount, and they billed without the discount ! I think that breaches trading rules !
And it certainly makes me think that they had already given up on the 25th when they presented the amount to mastercard for my bookings.
Would I have paid more ?
YES I WOULD (TONY) !
Why didnt they ask us ?
</angry>

I am so, so upset.

I'm in the same boat - just got the letter today and it says events cancelled from 1st August so Monday must be off. It's a downer alright.

:(:mad:

So did Shakey not turn up on the 28th cos there was no money??????????????

OHO !
It looks like MSV are taking over the dates !
Sounds like we will have to re-book with MSV though, and still claim our money back from credit card providers.
