Hi chris

Thanks for the explanation

I assume that since it is one week to go those who dropped out will be paying for their spaces not the club

I do recall being on boat when the skipper was turning down people saying he had no space the next day with glorious weather when you hadn't even contacted him

Perhaps if you are too busy why not delegate to individual dive marshalls on the day? Seems to work very well for the sark and france trips....

What spaces and dives are left for the balance of the year?

Rick

Just to point out

When dive spaces are available they are communicated to group, skipper and forums (except when I am ill and was not able to do that)

At the beginning of the week we had 1 space with a potential person to fill it. The other spaces have become vacant in the last couple of days through people dropping out.

Several of our dives have had spaces and all have been advertised with very little response from outside and no response from inside the club.

I understand there are reasons in these difficult times for not wanting to spend money on dives and it seems to be a problem affecting all clubs. However we have several members who would prefer to go on other dives rather that club dives. I understand that if the club is not organising the sort of dives people want then we should change our dives to reflect that.

Earlier in the it was suggested to me that deeper dives are what a section of the club would like and accordingly I have organised some. The take up has been negligable (less than half the boat full at moment) and it has been those people who reguarly support the ocean and sports diver dives who have taken the places.

Well thats my rant over for today

Chris

Am I the only person wondering why the club havnt said how many spaces were free for this weekend or indeed any other weekend coming up?

I will be diving in ireland but I find it amazing the club hasn't communicated this before

Congratulations JP you are now the 7th person to pull out of this weeks dive!

I suspect the chances of getting persons to fill up to number 7 are very slim but for the rest of you we do have 7 spaces available for group bookings/parties etc
