Fri, 30 Jan 2009, 05:45 pmI am a non drinker too and although I was not on the committee "last year" I was aware of the problem and we did try to address it. We spent probably a good hour of committee meeting time addressing it and making contingency plans if the kiosk was not to be open.
Lets go into details, as people are not settling for "We're sorry."
The committee member talking to the venue either misunderstood our instructions or misunderstood what the venue said to her because the instruction the bulk of the committee received was - "Don't worry about the back up plans, the kiosk will stay open." (The venue didn't say that- but this is what our lovely lady thought. Although she looks like an angel and has an angelic personality she is in fact human and fallible.)
Yes. We stuffed up. Again, we are sorry. I had done a lot of running around that night. I would have loved a Coke myself.
