there was potentially a bigger issue going on. there is a new group sales person there who took over for Mary. she sent me a 6 page contract to sign for the event which had some crazy shtuff in there. I said nope, won't be signing that. they had some crazy stipulations in there like if the group has music or a radio or something that might have copyright implications they would charge us $25. I laughed and said you're going to charge us if we play the radio????? she said well, maybe we need to update what's in this contract lol. I also said she may be misunderstanding what we do. we're just a bunch of hooligans who meet up, we're not like some kind of sponsored group or have vendors or anything lke that. she said the contract is mainly to hold/guarantee spots at the discounted rate for a specified timeframe. I said that normally happens like this: "you have one month to book under the discounted rate, after that the spots open up at regular rate" and I said we have always been fine with that. I also mentioned they never guaranteed that we'd get all the cabins in one area, as we've had outsiders staying in cabins in our area. finally, I brought up the cancellation policy and said I hope she understands that we're mostly weather dependent, and we all understand that going in that there is potential for having to cancel last minute. she stated they will do their best not to penalize anyone who cancels due to weather. so, that conversation was fun but I think we got it worked out.
