Architecture for Fun PLAZA CINEMA TOUR

In my negotiation for the above , I informed the Cinema Manager on 8/1/24 that I normally get 30-40 attendees at my events , I had no comment with regard to maximum numbers that could be accommodated , on 9/1/24 after attending the coffee morning I took 43 bookings , again I informed the Cinema Manager of this fact , no comment re. maximum numbers was received  , I continued taking bookings and got to 46. On the 11/1/24 the Cinema Manager verbally informed me that the maximum number that could be accommodated was 25 , I expressed my disappointment that I had not received this detail after my emails of 8/1/24 and 9/1/24 , he reiterated that this was the maximum number that could  take the tour on 24/1 24

I discussed 2 options by email with him and he eventually verbally agreed to the second option. Therefore , there will be 2 dates for 25 members to take the tour  , 24/1/24 and 31/1/24  , I have produced 2 lists , please call or text George on 07826 048379 or call in at the Architecture for Fun desk to find what list each member is on

Postponement of Birmingham February trip

Hi all

I have just received an email, it’s a shame for us but Birmingham have decided to do some much needed  upgrade to some of the Museum, therefore closing the whole place, except for one small area

This information was not available when I made enquiries last year.

I feel it’s not cost effective to go to see just the Cathedral, beautiful though it is.

Let me know if you are in agreement please before I cancel the coach etc.

I am proposing we rebook late summer, which is the expected reopening .

Another art event will be available soon.

Lucky for someone? Cornwall trip March 22 / 25

Sad for someone, maybe lucky for someone else, as this trip was previously full.

We have four cancellations due to unexpected circumstances for this trip. We are now booked at a nearby Premier Inn,  Hayle Cornwall, a short drive from St Ives, at £30 00 extra pax., with b/b and a two course  evening meal deal..  As you may be aware the Premier Inn breakfasts are famously substantial, don’t think we will require a lunch.

Please confirm you want to attend this trip asap, to be sure of this price.

The cost is very reasonable for Cornwall . Itinerary stays the same,
