Right, I haven't been to a weekender for ages but i'm all booked up for this one - who else is on board, or is it just me?

Could a moderator make the poll public please.
Bloody hope I'm going. I'm sooooo gutted at not being there this weekend!!
I would have been going but after attending blush and finding that something like 75% (30+) of the people I knew there (40+) were on a freebie I'll be giving it a miss until Ceroc can do better than 10% off for those who actually paid their way this time (the DVD should have been free for paying customers along with 40% off next time), or there has been long enough for it to mature to the point where I won't find I'm one of the few who had actually paid to be there. Will be interesting to see if Scorch actually happens, shame as I was really looking forward to having a northern Ceroc weekender not far from home
It is natural to be miffed, at others paying less, and may be a good reason not to book early in future.
I'm not sure it makes that much difference if others have got in cheaper, unless they're the ones you don't want to dance with (or don't want to dance with you). At least they're ensured there are sufficient people to dance with, so full paying customers aren't really worse off.
On the other hand if they are the ones you do want to dance with, if they don't get in free the next time, there is a good chance you won't see them next time.
I think this is the biggest issue. The freebies raise the standard but the situation changes when they drop out.
One bloke I know (very new to jive), never been to a weekender before, got his invite along with it seems anyone had a email address he tell me, inviting him a discount if he helped. In the end he says his service weren't required so he got a single place for £99 + a Free place for Camber in May. Will let you know how he got on.
Moved this to a new thread with public poll as requested.
Anyone who voted already will have to vote again I'm afraid.
Love dance, will travel

I'm going to be in the Outer Hebrides on holiday so it's a and a
I've just booked myself in for Ceroc Scorch
I'm looking forward to catching up with familiar faces, greeting new dancers I've not yet met before - and in particular, I hope to meet many more forumites there.
I hope this can come about if there's some kind of forum meet/BBQ gathering - like what fletch said to me back in March.
Maybe even check out what this space hopper craze is all about...
And this time round, I'm making sure I'm sticking around for the ENTIRE weekend, right up to Monday morning!
I don't know if I've mentioned...
I shall be attending.
Yay! At last we can dance
