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

Lost Keys

Thankfully . a member contacted me by telephone this morning advising me that she had found a set of keys in her bag recently

She requested as to what was included and when I gave he a description , car fob , house keys and several tags , she confirmed that the keys she had matched the description

This has eased our minds as the precautions that we have had to take whilst on holiday for 5 days and then 10 days have been somewhat onerous

Thankfully Maureen and I can rest easy now that we can get back to living normally whilst out and about and not worrying about my car being taken away whilst we are asleep

Thanks again to the member for eventually finding the keys in her possession and informing us

Architecture for Fun and Wine Tasting

Further to my post of 26/09 I have still not had the return of a bunch of keys that went missing at the coffee morning on 26/09

If any member mistakenly picked up the keys from my desk or found them around the hall (I have personally inspected several times all the areas that I had been in that morning without success) , I have agreed with Darren , the Administration Assistant for the Baptist Church that if any member has the keys but is too embarrassed to take them to the coffee morning , they can be put them in an envelope and post this through the front entrance to the Baptist Church

I can be contacted by text or telephone on 07826 048379
