Strikingly busy

How do we manage this? We introduce something new and we're rushed off our feet - not that I'm complaining in the slightest! And so it is with our Hotel. Although we're not open until next month, we've got every room pencilled in already for one of the courses that month, and also for Geekmas as the end of November. A rapid edit to the web site last night to ensure that people don't ask for rooms that are gone .... and a very rare chance for me to use the <strike>~~through to~~ </strike> tag pair in HTML. I had to look THAT one up. Resultant text:

The Geekmas meetings are FREE, but attendance is by prior booking only please. If you wish to join us at "The Refa", we'll ask you to make a contribution of 10 pounds a head (much easier than trying to split the bill many ways) to include aallll the food and soft drinks you want. ~~And if you want to stay overnight, we're extending our introductory delegate rate to the "Geekmas" weekend and it's just 60 pounds a room including 1 or 2 breakfasts.~~ If you wanted to stay - sorry - all our bedrooms are gone. But please let us know as there is other accommodation nearby that we can put you in touch with.

It's going to make Geekmas all the more fun. With 6 people staying with us, a number of local people not staying, and I expect others stopping elsewehre in Melksham it will be a fabulous weekend. If you've not read about / signed up for Geekmas yet, please visit the page and sign up now!.
