On behalf of the group I expressed my sincere thanks for the sterling efforts the hotel provided with extra beers, extra bar, lovely food and quick service. In particular this year I thought the service staff in the function room were "on the ball" and the new restaurant manager seemed to rally them as a team very well.
She has also asked about next year, and given my "keenness" last year opened a can of worms last time I'm keen this time not to upset other members.
One of the reasons we get such a great deal from the WPH is because we let them know so far in advance. As time moves on the booking slots get filled so they're less likely to do "deals" as preferential as our "early bird deals".
She mentioned another group has made enquiries for the Easter Weekend, which is the weekend of the 5th April 2015, and that as we are regular customers she'd prefer to give us first refusal for those dates.
I said the chances are, because of family commitments the actual Easter weekend would probably not be needed by us and that the dates similar to what we've had this year "may" suit better (so Fri 24 / Sat 25 / Sun 26) would be a reasonable pencil in date.
Now before anyone goes getting upset, this is only early discussions.
IF the majority would prefer to return to Betws y Coed then I'm happy to stand down from organising the weekend and let someone else sort it out for Betws.
However, if the majority are happy to return to the Wild Pheasant then I am again happy to sort it all out again.
Again if someone wants to take control and sort something out at some other region of Wales that would be no problem too
Please can every one add their bit to the poll
as a PS Sarah has confirmed they'll offer us the same deal yet again, this represents amazing value given how many years they've kept the deal to the same price!
