MiniBus For Emirates 2018

[JAMES4578]

Possibly a bit early but thought I'd set up the thread now that we know about the group ticket allocation ( received request from a few members previously), realise some may still be seeking to secure tickets. Certainly no rush and doubt I'll be making any enquiries until after Wimbledon. However if at this point folk wish to register their interest feel free to do so and assuming sufficient numbers should be able to arrange again. I can answer any queries by PM. In the past certainly some of the group found it a reliable service, it will be more expensive than the train but more convenient as the station can be very busy in the evenings. There were not quite so many interested last time but it was certainly viable and I think appreciated. Route is from city centre to Emirates and back (last time picked up at City Chambers and George St PI) Whilst most tend to be interested in all journeys each day , can be accommodated if only interested in returns or some of the journeys. Know some don't mind walking but not an option for everyone and taxis can be problematic at night too.

As you know James, myself and Tennisfan are interested.

[dizzypops]

Thanks James - me and +1 interested

[jaysee]

Many thanks James - interested, particularly for the return half after the matches, but will say yes to both ways if that makes it easier!

[WimbledonWestie]

Will speak to keep the head, we may be interested fir the Saturday

[Rosalind]

Interested. Thank you James

Easy to get to so not needed for going - it's coming back. (Just adding this as a ps)

[Sallydaisy]

Thanks James, I'm interested in both ways, it saved a lot of hassle.

[tinawatt]

Thanks James, I'd be interested.

[Elizabeth]

Thanks James. Bubblebee and myself for Saturday if possible. Not sure about grandson will check with him when he is back in the country.
Plus Sunday out to arena.

[hfwardhouse]

Yes please for Sat/Sun for me and Sat for Esther as well. Although I might have to make my own way back on Sunday depending on timings as I'll have a train to catch ... but can finalise once we know what's happening.

[exislander]

Thanks James, interested - especially for return to city. Getting there is not so much a problem.

[JAMES4578]

Hi all, I've now made enquiry with Bus company we used the last time. I requested quotation for 20 seats (don't have that at the moment but more requests for return journey) and will allow a few more to add names. Currently most is 16 for Saturday's return journey. Anyway with current numbers working out at £6.55 per journey, so just checking folk are ok with that. If anyone else interested can also let me know.

[WimbledonWestie]

Hello, I think I'd be interested in 3 seats returning from the arena on the Saturday for myself, keep the heid and her sister. I'm away just now but will confirm asap

[Guerkins2]

Hi James
Please can I book return journeys just for me on Friday and Saturday.
Thanks
Guerkins2 Cheryl

[Silverdee]

Thank you James for organising this, it is such a help. Myself and Tennisfan would like seats for all 3 days going both ways.

[Rosalind]

Coming back for me all three days. Thank you James.

[supergran]

Please include me for three days there and back. Thanks so much for organising this again.

[Nessie]

Really sorry but can’t find the correct thread but can Nessie and Goldfish ask for 4places on the minibus for return journeys? Thanks

Will get back to you on that- (Friday/sunday) fine but would need to see about Saturday as busier then and initial quote was on basis of 20. Still fair amount of room for other journeys but if anyone else interested in Saturday return will need to know by Monday 30th July I think.

[hfwardhouse]

Hi James. Is there room for Esther both ways on Sunday? I'm getting a train at 7 or so so may not be able to get the bus back but might be better to book a seat anyway as it might not be a long session on the Sunday?!

Yes there is room for both ways Sunday-would be fine.

We were interested in Saturdays return only. But no worries if there’s no room :)

[Nessie]

Hi James sorry for late request but is there any room for Goldfish +1 and me (Nessie) +1 for all the return journeys? I posted on the wrong thread! Thanks

can request more seats for the Saturday but will need to see if can be accommodated.

I replied earlier on thread, same as I've said to Jerry for Saturday as more demand then. However definitely fine for Friday/Sunday.

Great James thank you!

[jaysee]

I don't mind giving my Saturday place to someone else. I'm happy to walk back one day, but not all three days ;-) And with the late restaurant booking, there should be time before dinner, unless it's an extraordinary doubles rubber!

Thanks but at moment wouldn't make great deal of difference. There were 18 for Saturday return and now another 6 interested, best to find out if more can be accomodated first.

[JAMES4578]

All those who've requested a seat for Saturday return (including the last few days) can be accomodated fine (ie. the 24)

[JerryD]

Thank you James :)

[Nessie]

Thanks James

[JAMES4578]

Hi all, I'll send PM's later regarding payment for Minibus, thanks.

[JAMES4578]

Mentioned on other thread and info was in PM’s. However driver changed this morning’s pick up to 11.45 if folk can get there then. Saturday 1PM and Sunday 11 AM. Tonight Driver said would also be there 15 minutes beforehand other days if folk can be a bit earlier,though there may be a double pick up on ocassions.

[Sallydaisy]

Hi James, confirming I'll be there for the bus at PI pick up today 1pm unless I hear otherwise from you by text. Many thanks. Sally

[JAMES4578]

Driver informed me last night would be going to PI first and would need to do double run. However should be at PI 10.45,thanks.
