RE: BTaP is back!

[burriana]

^^^ Precisely. The more people know who is going the more people will go.

But there is going to be no logo this year.

Why is that?

I think the guy that used to do them is no longer around.

Bugger. Just starting to plan a visit to uk later this year and I thought I'd finally get to a BTaP. April!! :-(

[ChemicalChaos]

When are the tickets on sale until? I'm having a little bit of a cashflow crisis at the minute

[Mark.]

So BTaP is not back.

What a shame

And not even an anouncement in the offical BTaP forum

I can assure you that the event will not be cancelled, ticket sales are going well and they can be bought from http://www.btaptickets.com/

To paraphrase Douglas Adams - as soon as it was announced that the event would not be cancelled, it became virtually certain to be cancelled.

It seems mean to laugh at this event's demise, but it's all that can be expected since Haymarket took PH in the direction it has.

Let it go gracefully, and invest in the newer events that bring in the new folk. Sunday services seem to have been a big hit.

It's got nowt to do with Haymarket taking it over!

I think the lack of logos has a lot to do with it...

[Beyond Rational]

As an outside observer, the old-guard seem keen to say it's not a clique, but then follow that up with a list their friends and a statement suggesting that no-one is going. That can't be good for event promotion.

It certainly has been much quieter (and I would include lack of logos in there) but to not sell enough tickets twice to run the event rather makes me think that the world has just moved on and BTaP has had its day.

[ChemicalChaos]

Oh for crying out loud!

Am I ever going to get to any PH event?

This^^^^ do PHers WANT Black Tie events these days?

Evidently NOT.
voted with wallets twice now....the silence from PH management is deafening.

The 2013 one was poorly promoted. This one was clearly within a 6 month window - so probably a grace period on the hotel's part.

No, we do but we need it to be organised properly!

5 weeks notice is no good, even if we do know the date 11 months before

April is no good, we've planned stuff for Easter & have November blocked out for it

Had it been re-booked for 1st Novber it would have been the success it always is
