Greetings 1066ers, We as the committee of 1066 have some great news "NEXT YEARS SALUTE 2015 COACH WILL BE FREE"
Now the boring part, you will still have to buy your actual salute ticket But "hey free coach"
The coach we have got is a 30 seater so the best way to sort out seating is by the good old attendance book....IT's the fairest way... So from the being of september to the end of febuary this will start , each week you turn up is one tick closer to a free seat on the coach you must attend and pay your subs to get a look in just incase we have more than 30 wanting to go, if we dont get 30 people we will just work down the list until the coach is full or nobody else wants to go, plus 1's. if you want to take a loved one and a more loyal member to the club there seat will be given to you over somebody that has only been to the club and paid subs a couple of times " its the fairest way" but you will still have to buy the extra ticket for them . p.s we can only do 1 plus 1 you cant take all the family ..... as we may not have the seat's As normal our man with the ticket's will sort out the tickets for us closer to the day "thanks nick" Here is a link to the salute page if you have never been www.salute.co.uk/salute/salute-2015/Ps SALUTE IS ON THE 25TH OF APRIL, THATS A SATURDAY.... MEETING TIME FOR COACH TO BE ARRANGED . pps this offer is only open to 1066 club members, in other words if you come to the club, you may get a free seat on the coach ..... BEST I CAN DO so see you at salute 2015

So basically we have to come to the club every week from Sept to feb. What if you want to go and this is the only way you have but you can't get there every week is it a whole skew you and tough luck. Also what if more than 30 want to go and they all come every week How would you pick them. From a hat? Favoritism? Ect

There are other ways to get there. I don't think well have more than 30 anyway, but I do remember a few offers of car shares floating around this year. Failing that, train up should be easy, the DLR is nearby. I wouldn't worry too much until closer to the time. It would probably be the same price to skip a week a month and save your three pounds for a train ticket!

Emily all we can do is,what we have said as breccan said " we may not get 30 members wanting to go anyway" if we get 30 members all on the same attendances then we will have to work something out from then , but thats a pretty big "if" and if we got 30 members all on the same attendances that would be great for the club the fairest way is to do it in a pecking order with loyalty to the club coming first and then working down the list At the end of the day if you support the club, this is our way to say " thankyou for making 1066 possible" As you said we can not pick on favoritism "would you prefer us to give a free seat to someone that has only been to the club 6 times, over someone that has been to the club 12 " that doesnt seem fair. sorry if this doesn't work for you but have to be fair to everyone in the club , and without your support to the club this would not be possible . sorry again

Sounds good - it's a nice add along with all the other bits - I think last year we averaged around 20 people including +1's so I reckon there will be lots of spare seats. Also offering it to members sounds the fairest way. I honestly would be surprised if we exceed 30 but if we do I can't think of any other way to work it out. Cheers for putting this up Dom. Across the year the club has managed to do a whole heap of things from new boards, games, day events & prizes so a free coach is great. For those that use it your club funds still go towards all sorts of other things as per above. Time to start saving the pennies!

I think this is great and thank you the club. Also I think that if we get loads more people than the coach can support it may just be a case of getting the extra people togather and seeing if we cannot hire a mini bus or coach and split the cost across those who want to go but did not get on the coach.

Well I'm in, and no doubt my other half - she spent more than me last year!
