It is puzzling to only get 180-190 participants in a good economic year when last year we managed 229!
So please spread the word!!!
Well I wouldn't say it's a good economic year as the economy still sucks, but it is perplexing that given the charter is based in the USA that so few of the US (as in country not program) folk have signed up.
I did get one to sign up from the email I sent (non FTer who has now joined), and am hopeful for one more.
But as
BristolTraveller suggested, perhaps people could Facebook or twitter folk to this. Or people can continue to spread the word in their respective *Alliance forums or just PM folk they know & let them know it's a fab trip & technically they're only out of the office for 1 day (the Friday)!
I've still seen some posts where people either think it's the entire week or that it's all day Thurs & all day Friday. I know
oliver adjusted the first post to reflect that it's just Friday, but I think when they see the entire itinerary there's still some confusion.
Cheers.
