I cant remember how many the chalet could take....

Think it was 11/12 if it's Genepy. I thought you were group leader?

Not sure about how this is going to work with regards to booking it, is it worth contacting them to say we are a group that will fill the chalet but will book individually?

:?:

The times when I have booked groups you are given a password with the company to log on and everyone can pay individually through their own account. Safe as houses.

Are You grumpy, did you lose to Blackburn ????? :lol:

Yes, fully expected to. Prem vs lower reaches of Championship. Centre half and main striker both unavailable through injury, right back goes off injured after 15 mins, keeper sent off after 40 mins, but we were 2-2 after 57mins so not a bad effort at all. Chasing an equaliser at 3-2 down we gave 1 away on the break and then the ref gives the worst handball decision you will ever see. Not unhappy with the effort, so no I am not grumpy at all.
Well, not about football anyway.....

For a small fee I could probably bring a selection of single ladies, one is slightly disturbed tho as she wants to give up skis and try board.

Strange....

A few other questions spring to mind....

Do we have a count of interested parties yet?
Am I the only snowboarder?
How many attractive single ladies are going?
Can we get a group deal on lift passes?
Can those who need get a group deal on hire?
Will there by enough snow?
And has anyone seen my G&T?

s**t

missed the no Jocks bit, that's me and the OH bombed out. (mind you we are almost naturlised Bristolian/Brummie).

1 No Jocks welcomed!
2 Can't do 2nd week in Jan........1st, 3rd or any other week or month would be definate.

I will watch with anticipation to see what is agreed going forward...

:(

Dont worry. Mrs H is Scottish. Hence why I want them banned from the trip!!!!

If they let in over 20's rather than no under 28's I could probably get you three - any Quad rooms available ?

;)

Probably worth contacting them and asking - would have thought at very least they'd be interested in giving you an option/first refusal for the 2011 season. I've just confirmed my Xmas trip prices for 2010 and they were delighted to get intesrest so far out.

If the entire chalet was booked for 2nd Week in January 2011, it would be approx 600pp (incl flights and transfers etc).
This was the indicative prices given by Zermatt Chalets this morning.
It has a discount of around 90 per person applied based on this Jan 10 prices.
They also said that it is highly likely that they will be offering a lift pass deal in April 10 for Jan 11 bookings, either BOGOF or free lift passes (current lift pass for Zermatt and Cervinia Area is 247gbp).

However they did state that the Chalet accomodates only 12 people.

I just thought that I would call a company to see what they would consider offering.
