BOOKINGS
Due to oversubscription, we run a lottery system to allocate places, like a virtual hat we pull names out of!
Submission of interest DOES NOT guarantee a place. 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.
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.
Please contact Talitha Wachtelborn (email: t.wachtelborn@gmail.com) if you have any queries.
