Sally at Best Western confirmed that if bookings are cancelled before any non-refundable deposit is paid in Dec 04 for Dumfries and Jan 05 for Portsmouth, then no charges will be incurred
I have been doing some risk analysis, and came to the conclusion that those of us who have booked into the Royal Beach Hotel at Portsmouth should retain their bookings, in case we have to pull out of the group deal with Best Western.
It does not cost us anything by holding on to our bookings, and it is no-cost cancellation if we cancel before the deadline, which is 1 day before arrival
This way, those of us who are committed to this will definitely have roofs over our heads
Need to sort out somewhere for interceptor, bubblegoose_4rh and cooperchick66 though
