Isolating the vulnerable on Mothering Sunday and beyond.

Thanks suziewoozie
Have visited before, so am not to worried about not going ! it just seemed so against what is being advised, and they are among the last it seems, to close their doors!

Marydoll - There is an article today in the DM re wedding insurance. Not sure if it will help or make you feel worse but worth a read I think.

Okay, have just checked again. Apparently they are closing on Monday!
Still going ahead tomorrow though surprisingly!

That is so selfish and greedy Marydoll they need to be named and shamed. There are always those who put money before everything.
I wish you all well for the future.

Granjan I wouldn't think this event would go ahead now, its a shame but there will be other days.

As far as I know, it was the CEO and directors who made the decision.

They think that because they offered her a slot next year, they don't need to refund.
Without meaning to sound melodramtic, there is possibility, I won't be here to see her married next year.☹️ This time last year I thought I would never make it too the wedding.

We shall rise above all this, the sadness has been tempered by so much kindness from so many people.

This hotel is prestigious in our town, popular for weddings, funeral breakfast and afternoon teas etc. I will ensure everyone knows of their shabby treatment.
I know of someone who has an afternoon tea voucher, who phoned last week to extend it, as they were self isolating, they refused!

Marydoll, we all must be so incensed for you, that the hotel wedding venue, is taking this stance.
Surely, after the new rules that were issued yesterday, you and your daughter, should be entitled to a full refund.
As Nonnie, says, take to Social Media, and shout it out loud.

Maydoll if they still refuse a refund which they are legally obliged to pay because they cancelled, take to social media, that will bring them to their senses.

Have you tried writing to the CEO of the group Marydoll. Pester them a bit. You may get somewhere.

My daughter's wedding next weekend in a venue owned by a prestigious hotel group, has been cancelled.
They are refusing a refund, despite them cancelling. ?
They are fully booked for the next two years and want to reschedule DDs wedding for a year's time midweek. ☹️

No way will we use them, the way they have handled things is shameful. We realise the wedding can't go ahead' but she only found out, when she went on their website and saw they had ceased training.

People benefitting from others misfortune is s disgusting.

They are charging guests for the rooms, they can't use.
??

All organisations which DH and I belong to have postponed trips, meetings, breaks away until further notice or at least until the autumn.

Just been on TripAdvisor for you ( you’re welcome) Apparently they are now allowing rescheduling after at first refusing but then got bad publicity....they sound a nice bunch. Do you really want to go?

There are two issues here- the main one is OPs trip next month. As for tomorrow, I don’t know what the new rules mean - I would have thought a hotel restaurant would count as a restaurant and should not be open regardless of tge age of the mothers. It’s about risk reduction and avoiding spread, not just how old you are

But surely this is the type of function that is not supposed to be happening, as it encourages people of all ages to go out when we are told to stay away from others if possible.
Mother’s Day is just another day in the great scheme of things.

Does it come under pub, club or restaurant?
If so, then they should have shut their doors.

It could still be possible to wander the grounds and keep a distance.
Not all mothers are over 70!

You simply cannot go on a trip like this next month because you couldn’t follow social distancing. In your position I would contact them, explain why you cannot go and ask for a deferment to a date to be arranged. Remember they are a business and will be getting financial help from the Government. If they refuse to defer it, then I’d get back to them saying I’m sorry they’re behaving like that, and I’ll now be sharing their behaviour with my FB friends, Twitter followers and legions of GransNetters. I can’t believe they are not cancelling tomorrow’s event ( or that people are irresponsible enough to be going) Personally just based on that, I wouldn’t give them my custom ever.

I’d be very surprised if they’re allowed to go ahead, as pubs, restaurants etc are now shut by order.
They should refund you.
