Ok, I have just returned from Tannenboden( below Flumserberg), lots of snow up there and I was enquiring about our group ski-ing. I almost secured a date by booking it for 5 of us, but it was too much of a risk.
She said MONDAY 8TH FEB is a good date, and we just need to turn up that morning and book ourselves in. Weekends are a no go.

So who is up for Monday 8th Feb 2010?

Here are a list interested up until now, but I need a final number now. :-)
Mr_Pan
Aletheia520
Barron
SteveZ
thesheperds
anshuiitk
leylak
deutschmaad
Lurksalot
xomflower1
arorank
ElggDK

Methods of transport to Flumserberg.

Train:
32.60 return ( with halb-tax), includes ski-lift. Zh Hbf to Ziegelbrucke, change and get Regionalbahn to Unterterzen.

Group travel: +10 people, we may be able to qualify for an " all-zone" return ticket ( halbtax, 12.70)

Renting a car through mobility:
Mini-van takes 7 people- 4.20Chf an hour.
Though I think there is a joining fee, reduced if the person signing up has a halb tax.

PM me for my phone number. :-)

I'd also be interested!

Hi,
I would also be interested.
Cheers!
Vasu

I would like to attend both the coffee and the ski trip on the 8th.

sorry guys .. i wont be able to make it this time ... will be out of swiz for a complete month ..

Thanks for posting/arranging this.I'd love to come along if I can make it.Haven't skiied for years.....and I MEAN years though, so I could provide the day's entertainment.

I'll speak to Mr.P tonight and see if he's up for it too. What time were you thinking of meeting up there, and is there a special time for the lesson to start?

Xomflower, great you can make it, look forward to seeing you at both!

Oscarsmum ( catchy name!!) let me know if you can make either coffee or ski-ing or both.
Look forward to the entertainment!!

I'm not sure if we'll make it to the skiing.....MrP thinks he has meetings in Paris that week. (No competition really....skiing with me or whooping it up in Gay Paree!)

We will try to get along for the coffee though, if only to do some brain-picking as to where the least populated slopes are for our first falling-down session.

NB. The stupid name I chose is because we have a cat called Oscar. What's the old saying......'Choose a user-name in haste and repent at leisure.'

Oh I so want to come but can't make a Monday - no more holidays left at work!!

deutschmaad you've gone to a lot of trouble to organise this and provide transport details etc. so I hope you get a decent turn out.

Maybe it's time to set it as a formal event rather than a poll so people can RSVP and you know where you are, and you can set the numbers, and it's easily visible as to who's going etc.... just a though, and have a excellent time, Flums during the week is a great place to learn.

Thanks Papa G. I have put up the pre-ski coffee on the calender, and will add the 8th of Feb in too, anything else I can do to boost the event/s ?

thanks!

No just make sure you keep on top of it, and bump it periodically. Also maybe if the deal you've got is numbers dependant get a deposit from your attendees'and reconfirm about a week before.... good luck

Cannot take any more holidays this year :-(

Maybe next time...

Anyone who has RSVP'd " Yes" above. Please RSVP on the poll on the calender.
For:
1. The coffee-Tuesday 2nd Feb 2010
2.Ski-ing 8th Feb 2010

Both are under their respective dates under social events ( click on the calender, at top of page, then on the date)

Thanks, can't wait!!

Hi everyone,

I would be really interested in joining your group but I can't make the 8th as I am in the UK. I get back on the 20th so if anything is happening after that date, please let me know - I would love to join you!

Also interested in going! Is there still room?

By what I understood, yes, there is still room. deutschmaad has organized a meeting on Tuesday for us to get together and chat about details. See you then!

And here's a direct calendar link to the skiing event on 8th Feb.

Yes there's still room!
Please RSVP on the calender asap!
