hi all
the following has been taken from the event information for the Thursday Lido Session
"To be guaranteed of a space please login and RSVP for the session. If you cannot make a session please change your RSVP status to free up your place for someone else.
This is one of our more popular sessions and therefore we will be enforcing the cancellation policy - If you need to cancel please do so before midday on the day of the session. Anyone who cancels after that or does not turn up will receive a ban for this session the following week. No ifs, no buts."
the following members had not cancelled by midday or did not turn up
Ana Rita Cabaco
Ben Hudson
Phillip Tromans
Patrick Navein
regards
Audrey

Hi Audrey,
Sorry about this - I guess I'm not sure about the etiquette. I signed up in the morning, when the session was oversubscribed, in the hope that a place might become free. I checked throughout the day, and finally at about 1700, and I was the 21st person (so still not able to have a place), so I cancelled. Should I not have signed up in the first place?
Cheers,
Phil.

Hi Phillip,
Thanks for coming down the aquathlon today and giving us 5 hours of your time to make our event work. Much appreciated.
I've asked the committee to look into this for you. You raise a good point.

Hi Phillip,
Unfortunately coaches can't see who's signed up as part of the first 20 and who's dropped into the 20 because people before have dropped out. But if you were 21st then I'm not sure what happened so under the circumstances, the ban is lifted, and it's fine for you to attend swim this week.
Thanks,
Lucy (Head Coach)
Thanks all, and I appreciate you taking the time to reply. I think Laura A's suggestion around amending the rule is a good way to go. Thanks again.
Coaches could take a screen shot of who is still signed up, and within the number of allowed participants, at the cut off time.... I understand that it is a slight admin task but doesn't take too long and is only required for the few highly popular sessions
Just a thought

Thanks coaching team.
Well just signed up as number 19 as really got to get back into gear
All I would plead is a bit of support for our coaches - there is a lot to think about planning and implementing sessions which can cope with the quite wide range of abilities in the club alone.
Then dealing with a bunch of people who may or may not turn up on time, may or may not have a fiver with them, may or may not remember their name and remember to write it on a list and who may or may not have been signed up on the website ....it really does not make thing easy ;-)
And for a fiver swimming in a coached session at Brockwell Lido on a sunny day really takes some beating in terms of value for money - but Philip thanks for helping on Sunday and I hope you really enjoy your swim!!
