But there was a few people who completed about the food. <br /><br />As for the hotel turning your party away. I do not understand why some businesses or people turn away customer that have a history of coming back to spend money with them.

It is hard to please everyone at events such as these. I have organized a few in the past and know how it can be. You can only do your best and I know you went above and beyond to try and make everyone have a good time.

Sure looks like a nice place though, but the food has to be top notch too, doesn't it? <br /><br />Do you have any snow Val? I just finished reading a book set in the UK and the author was talking about the cold, frosty weather around Christmas, with lots of snow. I always pictured England as mild, weather-wise, much like Geraldine https://www.blogger.com/profile/07410019941984295767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-54291033143716898932015-12-13T17:35:27.436+00:002015-12-13T17:35:27.436+00:00At least i'll bet the company was good.At least i'll bet the company was good.joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-20568103290140181082015-12-13T15:12:53.736+00:002015-12-13T15:12:53.736+00:00"To my mind it would have been better to rais..."To my mind it would have been better to raise prices if money was the issue."<br /><br />I TOTALLY agree with you, Valerie! And also, since you used the venue every year (even if it was only once a year) I think they should have accommodated the WI by being more adaptable about the minimal amount.<br /><br />And like you, I'm surprised that some of the others complained about the Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984234400935984998.post-33483256199735388302015-12-13T11:00:16.697+00:002015-12-13T11:00:16.697+00:00Hi Mersad.

In all the years I have shared meals with the WI members I have never heard them complain so I figure that there was something wrong with the cooking.
