RAF Marham Enthusiasts Day 6th July

[Gary]

Part two of the planned events

Dear Enthusiasts

Thank you for registering your interest to take part in the RAF Marham Enthusiasts events as promised we will this year be holding a second event this will be on the 6th July 2017 unlike our previous events this will be a daylight event starting at approximately 13:30 finishing around 17:00 . You will find attached a registration form, including instructions on how to make payment. It is very important that these instructions are followed precisely to enable your payment to be correctly identified. Once the registration form and payment have been received you will be sent confirmation and further details regarding the day. Bank transfer will probably be the easiest way for you to make payment but if you are paying by cheque then please send them to the following address:

Just applied, paid the 50 quid and had a auto email back saying its full already.

I received the email notification and replied within ten minutes only to get the same reply stating that the event is already full. Must do better next time as I did dither for a couple of minutes double checking that I had nothing else on that day.

After sending two e-mails for the May event and getting no response, I gave up, so no opportunity for this one either.....

[Green133]

Same as the May photoshoot for me as well.
I bet they could run one of these events every month and still get plenty of takers and funds.
I don't know how many places there are, but the cynic in me is saying there's a bit of tipping off through the old boys network when these events are bookable. How else can they sell out so quickly?
Also why not give the reserve list first shout on the next occasion?

Rant over

I thought that the ones on the May trip were all getting an email first. I guess that the standard out of office is on for the moment so I wouldn't worry too much. Secondly I know a fair few people have declined to go this time so the ones who did not get a chance still might get in

[Zymurgy661]

Have had confirmation from the team at Marham that there is an issue with the automated response on the mailbox so, with luck, many who have applied will hear back shortly with positive news

[jamesv9820]

I got my reply.

Hope you all mange to get on soon.

[rebel14]

Having not had a response to e-mails for the May event I sent another e-mail tonight and got a response in minutes. Have been added to reserve list for the next event as it has already reached capacity.

[rebel14]

After receiving another e-mail I have secured a place for July which was totally unexpected.

[Covey]

I too received an email this week confirming that I have secured a place. It was a pleasant surprise after having received an 'inbox full' email when I made my application. I didn't hold out any hope and in fact I had put it to the back of my mind after removing the 'hold' from my calendar. Very much looking forward to this event now.

Guy's,

Anyone heard anything with regards to the event? Had an email saying my place had been secured but seems to have gone a little quiet from them.

Just curious if I have missed an email or something.

Cheers

[rebel14]

No not heard anything else yet..

[Covey]

I've submitted my form and made payment but I've not had any confirmation or joining instructions as yet. Hopefully we will have had something back before the weekend.

[Rob68]

Got a place via COAP. They have replied but nothing from Marham. COAP say registration will be looked at Friday and further instructions will be sent next week by RAF

[Zymurgy661]

Anyone else still waiting for some form of joining instructions for the day itself? Have had confirmation of my place but nothing since!

[Sylvester]

I have heard nothing either since sending back my details and payment confirmation

[napalm42]

Do we assume this event is cancelled ?
Or turn up at the gate at 13.30 ?
The lack of info is very worrying

Regards

[Green133]

Weather's not looking to clever either!

[Covey]

Still nothing this morning. Its a little worrying as I, like everyone else I'm sure, need to make plans and its a long trip to take a chance on only to be turned away at the gate. I hope we get an email today.
