URGENT - Change of venue (as of Thurs 26th Oct)
New venue is on website at; www.InspireScotland2006.com
Please will you pass on this message to anyone that you know may be intending to join us, as I do not have all of the email addresses of every booking (some people bought multiple tickets but haven't provided email addresses and contact details yet)
This has all happened in the last 24hours...
I rec'd a panic call from the Lyceum to say that they couldn't fit us in as the set on stage was taking up too much room. I confirmed that I always knew that they were squeezing us in-between plays and that we only wanted one speaker on stage at a time, therefore we wouldn't be using much stage space.
I was told "sorry", so, heart in my mouth, I immediately changed priorities and started seeking an alternative venue...
I looked to the ceiling with a knowing smile and said "is that it? is that the best you can do? come-on, give me a challenge why don't you... Whip it on... I can handle it" (and I KNEW i would resolve it! - didn't know HOW, but i knew my resolve was; this event WILL happen!)
Be careful what you think about... it might just happen...
By coincidence, I had been considering finding an alternative venue for the Monday event "internet-inspiration" as the capacity in the Lyceum is 656 and as i didn't have many bookings at that stage, i would rather have a full room so that the energy in the room would be better.
Well, i've done it!
This time, the capacity for Sunday is only 373 and i reckon we're almost there!!!
It's going to be a full house!!
The venue is fab, although it's approx three miles from the original venue, so, depending upon responses, I may hire a minibus to transport from Waverley/Lyceum to new venue.
If you would like a minibus arranged, pls click here (Please do NOT click for any other enquiry, and pls accept my apologies that i don't have a lot of time to give personal replies to everyone at this stage)
The venue for the "internet-inspiration experience" has also changed, see website for info at; www.internet-inspiration.com
Capacity is now only 200 and again, we're almost full... last few spaces still available... and still FREE!!
It's SO exciting now... and i KNOW the quality of the speakers will blow your socks off!! (smiles)
Please help by passing this info on urgently...
Mike ;-)
PS. update; the Lyceum called me back and said that they COULD help with Sunday event only, at a cost of £8,000!! (something about Unions and having to pay staff extra as they would be working for 11 days in a row) - heyho... (my wee mantra today is "step up!!") - smiles
