So here's where we are for all to see.
I sent this to No Limits after the announcement that Portugal was going green for travel
Hi.
I'm afraid that due to our flights being moved 3 times and eventually cancelled we will not be making this trip now. We do not feel under the circumstances it's appropriate to travel to other countries right now and even if we did consider it, any flights are now double the cost they previously were. Once you add in PCR testing to the equation too, the trip for us has now become non viable
It's quite simply too great a risk for us as a family to take both in terms of our health and the potential of losing out on work if the country went back to amber or red as isolation would cost both myself and Ceri our jobs. It would also potentially mean our 12 year old would miss out on even more school as well as a potential government fine for taking him out of school.
I would like to request our deposit is moved to a later event, preferably in 2022 as we're not convinced that this year is practical.
Thanks for your time
The reply came through this morning from them
Hi Steve,
I am sorry but unfortunately this event is running and the circuit has confirmed we are being charged in full. With this in mind we are unable to offer customers cancellation without loss of deposit.
I am sorry.
Kind regards
This was my reply and No Limits have been added to the 'company never to use again' shit list.
Hi Clare.
I considered what to reply as i'm pretty disappointed in your reply.
Not only because over the last 15+ years i've done about 50-70 Trackdays with yourselves, but also the fact that between even myself P*, To* and R* (who are also booked on the trip) and a couple of other mates we've done in excess 300 days with Mark and yourselves, i find that a little disappointing as i said.
Taking into account the Covid19 situation i find it even more so disappointing and difficult to accept this decision. However, you know what, i'm not going to argue that you want to take the short term option, instead of having 19 people book again in 2022, we now take our business elsewhere and book with a different company. Not only for this trackday but for every single trackday we now do in the future.
I doubt that'll make a massive difference overall to how much money the company makes or doesn't make, but it'll certainly make each and every one of us on the list feel a bit better about things.
Not sure there's anything else that i need to say.
Steve.
