will there be a thread, or an email, or letter to register?

Yes, and we've already said that all of the "deals" that we get with DUK will be fairly distributed - I think it was in the meeting notes in the DSC section.

Not sure how things will be done *if* we get any freebies at all, but we will use the message board in the first instance and follow it up with an email to all registered members.

I don't see this as a reason to have a knock at the DSC. DUK are obviously aiming the weekend at really rich people, that's their prerogative. I hope it works for the brand, although personally it puts me off & after being loyal for 20 years it makes me wonder about jumping. I have put up with a lot of stick about buying dukes because of the branding rather than ability & this might just be the final straw.

pbrown - dont think anyone is having a DSC dig, why would they; its DUK that have organising the event, surely even the most cynical member of the conspiracy club cant blame Chris or Ant for that....although I'm sure one ir two may try elsewhere

That's just me misunderstanding the comments about free tickets.

thats not connected to the evnet tho, thats a member thing related to any event where tickets are available. In years gone by it was always open to all through some form of ballot/draw, the last few years seem less so whether that is lack of things to share or being only within a closed circle, in which case its great that the decision has already been made to share the love
