BOOKINGS

Submission of interest DOES NOT guarantee a place.

Due to oversubscription, we run a lottery system to allocate places, like a virtual hat we pull names out of!

Complete the form ONCE for each participant.

If more than one submission is received, the latest one will be counted.

Please make a note of your selections. It is advisable to keep dates free until you are notified of a place.

If payment is not received after attempts to contact you, places will be given to those on the waiting list.

This system was introduced to accommodate as many people as possible and to reduce no shows, no notice given and non-payment.
