Post by: Iminei on February 06, 2018, 09:48:40 AM
Ladies,

The Sewing Place is once again going to offer tickets to this years Festival of Quilts at the best price possible by purchasing through the Group Ticket option. This is the most economical way to buy; these prices are even better than the discount offered to competitors at the festival!!!!

You can go on whichever days you please and, as long as we can sell 10 tickets, tickets will cost .....

£12 per adult ticket
and £6 per child

Please add on £1.50 to your order to cover postage and packaging.

If you are interested in taking up this great offer, please pm Iminei.

Ladies, ladies, ladies

Time is fugiting by and I need to start thinking about ordering tickets for this years Festival of Quilts ...

So please let me know if you would like to take advantage of the most economical tickets available. as soon as we hit the magic number of 10 tickets sold we can enjoy group discount rates so please confirm as soon as you can....

Ladies,

After trying to firm up ticket numbers amongst those I knew were likely to go to FOQ this yea, I fear we may not have the number of tickets needed to qualify for the discounted group rate.   :(

We need to buy 10 tickets (any day,either adult or child) to qualify for those fabulous discounted prices and Im afraid that at the moment we may only be reaching about half of that...

I will try and drum up some more takers but may have to let the peeps that want to take advantage of these great prices down!

I will let you know definitely by the end of June, which will leave you enough time to get your own tickets delivered before the show.

Hi Iminei

I am hoping to go but need to narrow down which day.  I would need 2 tickets if that helps you.

Thank you Kitten, that would be really helpful ....
you dont need to specify a day with a group ticket.

Post by: Iminei on May 14, 2018, 07:57:02 AM
Ladies,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Thanks to you all, we now qualify for the group tickets ... Hurrah!!!!

Tickets cost £12 per adult* and £6 per child
plus a small charge of £1.50 to cover the cost of P&P per transaction.

Please make payment for them via ......

A) ... The Sewing Place bank account (details on request),
B) ... Cheque (pm me for payee name and my address) or
C) ... The Sewing Place Paypal account (as a gift to friends and family please!)

by the end of June, and I will be able to get your tickets to you in good time.

During the Festival of Quilts, members of The Sewing Place can meet up in a specified location at certain times, which is quiet, airy and benefits from a little known loo!!!!

Hurrah!!! The Sewing Place is going to The Festival of Quilts!!!!

* I am double checking whether Quilters Guild members can benefit from an extra £ off the price as there seems to be some confusion on the subject.

Thanks to Twopence for payment of her tickets ...

I will be ordering these next week now, so it wont be long before you receive them! 

I have checked about the Quilters Guild Discount thang and it seems to be set up like this ....

When I go to pay for the extras sold during the show, if I have your membership numbers, I will receive a £1 refund per quilters guild members ticket ... which seems pretty clunky to me but there you go.

When I order the tickets I will try and get a clarification on this.

Hi everyone,

Im going to be ordering the tickets for FOQ tomorrow so need to know if there are any more last minute deciders out there.

As it stands I only have 9 last minute tickets available so if you think you may want to go please let me know.

Also if you have ordered a ticket, but not yet paid,please can you do so  at least two weeks before the show
to enable your tickets to get to you safely.

Payments to The Sewing Place Paypal account please .....

iminei@thesewingplace.org.uk

as a gift to friends and family to ensure the full amount is received

I will let you know when your tickets are on their way so you know to expect them ...
and please let me know that you have received them.

Each day at a certain time I will be ready to meet up with you at the show.
I have found a lovely quiet, cool, airy out of the way, yet right next to the Halls, area that boasts a lift and a little known loo for us to meet up ... Bring your sarnies and lets have lunch!

Oh no, I love getting post addressed to 'Pearl'.  In fact, I'm toying with the idea of changing my name by deed poll to stop people from calling me Susan.  Do you think I could just have only name, like Lulu?

hahahahahahahhaaaaa

I am sooooo close to getting my name changed to Iminei (for Real) its untrue ....
she is sooooo much braver than this mouse of a person that I have become ....

Just because we have had issues with posties not recognising names and not delivering is why, hon!

@beepbeepsew .. The new batch of tickets arrived this morning (great service from the group bookings team) and your tickets are winging their way to you 1st Class (and recorded delivery .... my lovely neighbour took them to the PO and got muddled as to which service I needed) so they should be with you by Friday at the latest...

Please do let me know when they arrive!

Thank you @Iminei ! My tickets arrived today.  I look forward to meeting up :)

Now I need to make a list of what I actually need so that I can at least pretend I'm in control of my spending at the show lol
Title: Re: Festival of Quilts 2018 - Tickets Offer
Post by: Iminei on July 05, 2018, 16:44:52 PM

Post by: fajita on August 04, 2018, 20:30:03 PM
@Iminei we could meet up as before, as long as it's no problem. Otherwise I can PayPal you the money.

I'd need you to resend me your phone number, I don't seem to have yours stored on my phone.
