Thanks for the clarification Tony - just as well really as I've canvassing quite heavily Of the hundreds onsite the best I can get is a 'maybe', unfortunately one maybe is a long way from eight definites

Unfortunately I was made redundant yesterday and the company I worked for have informed me that they cannot afford to pay me my last months wages so I have had to withdraw from this and the Advanced Arctic course, so that is one less name on the list.

Sorry to hear that, I hope that you find work soon mate.

The time for the drop off at the end of the course has changed due to flight times changing, rest assured all that you will be at the airport in time for the flight.

Dear All

As today is the go/no go date for this course I will be evaluating this course at the end of the day and will also be sending out emails to each person accordingly

Not unexpected, but gutted all the same...

 

[Dangerous Dan]

A big shame. If it runs next year stick me at the top of list.

What about running the course over February half term (school holiday) next year?

I too am a teacher, so can't get non term time off.

I know the flights might be slightly more pricey, but if it means the course running...

I dare say BCE will give the whole thing a bit of post-mortem at some point. Timing has been mentioned a couple of times and I think the Bardufoss connection vagaries may have contributed also. I'm fairly certain the minimum numbers were chosen to make the project financially viable but even with an audience of several thousand, getting 15 people to commit to something on the same date can be incredibly difficult - I'm equally sure that the term 'like herding cats' was first coined by an event organiser!

It's suffering the same fate over at the Canadian Canoe Expedition page, as I originally wanted to go on this Arctic Expedition until that came up.

Sadly dates for no-go's don't tie up (as it's Feb for canoe trip) not that my single place would have saved this.
