Hope it wasnt because of my off last time.

Sti mayhew 21-08-2015 11:54 AM

Gutted my first one cancelled!!

C. J. 21-08-2015 12:11 PM

Oh for f sake !
Let us know as I'll book some where else

Banstead Stig 21-08-2015 01:09 PM

Cor, that's a bit of a shocker on their part!

I'm sure it's in the letter of the contract and all that, but to simply oversubscribe and ditch folk is certainly not in the spirit of these things.

You're right to take your time to respond Scott. I can imagine anything drafted today could be, understandably, a bit vitriolic!

Security_Paul 21-08-2015 02:08 PM

Shall we organise a meet somewhere near there instead since we were going to have a big turnout for this?

555_Si 21-08-2015 04:49 PM

I imagine that they have pushed some regular customers of theirs that wanted to go up the list,After all we are just place fillers as far as they are concerned.

Mike L 21-08-2015 10:44 PM

They must be joking for fu** sake I have spent weeks prepping the car for this not happy is an understatement :boom:

Mike L 21-08-2015 11:35 PM

Your not too far from the truth there Si.

In the end yesterday, shortly after my notification of Cancellation above, I did call both Harriett and Abi at Harwoods and the bottom line is they are being forced to free up space for Harwoods Dealer group customers.
Their hands are tied and we are not the only group/individual that has lost their slot.

I did explain that some members had already paid out for insurance and hotel accommodation, but they reiterated the above and that it was out of their hands.

We have been offered priority places on the Trackday 10th October, so I would hope that those with insurance/hotel bookings may be able to move them to the alternative dates, if indeed they want to take part.

Harwoods are not your average car dealership, with franchises in Aston Martin, Audi, Bentley, Jaguar, Land Rover, Jeep and Mini.
They also have a Harwoods members club, heritage club and horse racing club. So organise quite a few events through the year.

All I can assume is that the 'Powers that be' have made a decision regarding supporting their customer/member base, in favour of non-customer/members. The girls were then given the unfortunate task of implementing it.

If anyone wants to switch to the October date, then please advise.
If anyone wants to join the October date, then please also advise although the original 8 will have priority.

Thanks, and apologies for the disappointing outcome of this proposed event.

Week end before I go to spa so not a chance incase something goes wrong
Have posted on their face book page

C. J. 22-08-2015 07:43 AM

Hopefully it piss's down and they save us all £90 😂😂

Banstead Stig 22-08-2015 07:46 AM

Feel sorry for those delivering that message!

That's not how I'd run my business. Yes, they have some prestige brands, so probably some demanding existing customers, but you don't just **** on people. Anyone could be a potential customer.

SamSTI 22-08-2015 07:50 AM

October please Scott :)

Cheers Sam, Post #130 updated.

Mike L 22-08-2015 09:14 AM

October ?

Right in the middle of me studying for my Masters, they are really good at mucking people about :(

I will say yes to October but will have to see how studying is going at the time.
I want to go now and show up how slow their cars are lol :drive:

Steve_PPP 22-08-2015 09:19 AM

Be interesting to see if Harwoods respond to your comment on their Facebook page CJ....

Maybe Harwoods thought that their new Aston customers might not like having their arse handed to them on a plate by a 15 year old scoob ;)

C. J. 22-08-2015 09:22 AM

I expect it'll get deleted Steve

It was a fair enough comment to make, without going over the top.
TBH I was expecting a harsher comment ;)

C. J. 22-08-2015 09:25 AM

I can do political posts I just choose not to most of the time 😜

Banstead Stig 22-08-2015 09:39 AM

I see they responded to the guy who appears to own an Aston and/or a F type Jag. :lol:

Sti mayhew 22-08-2015 08:11 PM

Refund for me please

555_Si 22-08-2015 09:26 PM

Not even on the track day, but feel very disappointed with Harwoods, just not game. Greed over concounce.

C. J. 23-08-2015 12:57 PM

If it wasn't clear from my earlier post refund please

Consti 23-08-2015 06:45 PM

That is really crap of them, I was looking forward to seeing you guys hooning it round, as there is nothing else on that day I'll still go and have a look, anyone else is welcome to join, I'll be there around 10am still.

C. J. 23-08-2015 07:40 PM

Shock horror they responded to my post on their Facebook page !

shorty87 24-08-2015 08:01 PM

Hiya, only just spotted this, can I grab a refund please, October date is a no go for me :(

Thanks for organising it all anyway Scott, definitely sucks to have to deliver messages when they're like that and out of your hands :)

xxxmike 25-08-2015 11:54 AM

shorty87 28-08-2015 10:33 PM

Heya, did they give any idea when they might process the refund? Spotted a thruxton track days in a couple of weeks, am keen to book but at this end of the month need this back first!

Scott.T 29-08-2015 09:17 PM

IN :

4. Shorty87 - REFUND
5. STi Mayhew - REFUND

I think the above is correct.
I will request The refund covering 3 day passes (6 split tickets) get's processed back to the SES account next week. I will then paypal it back to the relevant people.

OR

If anyone wants to jump in for October, potential we have 6 spaces available

C. J. 05-09-2015 10:31 AM
