7-9th JULY, site bunks booked out recently.

[dizzyblonde]

OK peeps, have rung the site this morning, and unfortunately a school has booked out the bunkhouses for 1&2nd July and the 7-9th weekend.

SORRY FOLKS, this does happen, and I only spoke to the site the week before

I'm not sure how this affects our voting, as obviously we need the bunkhouses, as these are essential to some of us.

SO far, the other dates in July are free.

bloody school kids.

looks like the date voting needs to get a move on folks.......

YUP. Fraid so, this is what happens when we want to give people chance to vote on a choice. Its soddin typical. I rang them to let them know it was looking likely to be that weekend, but we'd know for certain by the 1st.

Obviously some peeps voted for that, because they can't make it any other weekend, but I'm afraid, if theres 40 people that prefer to sleep in the bunkhouses, we have to go with those voters.

Should that date not now be removed from the poll then as it was a clear winner?

[gruntygiggles]

Yeah it sucks Diz. I thought you were lucky to get that many dates to choose from TBH. We only had a few to pick from last year.

The proposal is fab, so whenever it is, I'll be there having a blast

Oh dear.

I think I can amend the poll to remove this week end. If I can't I'll start a new poll, but that will just lengthen the delay.

Give me a few minutes ...

I'd rather not prolong the voting time, as it will only allow(sods law) other parties to book weekends. **** happens, but the campsite is very popular, and they start to get booked up quickly for next year.

OK done. The 7-9th dates are no longer an option on the poll.
And as it was a mutliple option poll I don't think there's any need to redistribute the votes that were cast for this date.

I think your wrong to remove that date option. You should have kept the date, made people aware the bunkhouse would not be available for that weekend, reset the poll and let everyone vote again with the end date of the poll the same.

THAT would have been a fair way of doing it. What you have effectively done is remove the dates in favour of the few people who would have wanted to use the bunkhouse. You have not taken into consideration the reason why that date had the most votes.

[dizzyblonde]

oh
I didn't ask for it to be removed......just to for us to discuss what to next!
The bunkhouses are pretty essential to the deciding vote though.
