Pauldonnelly Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 a personal apology to those that have not as yet paid for their reserved Torch Reunion Tickets...(you also have e-mail) I may have misled you in yesterdays UPDATE email. The Torch Reunion has now sold out, however the tickets you have all reserved are here waiting to be despatched when payments have been received. From this morning we have started to compile a standby list for any unwanted reserved tickets, therefore in the event you are unable to attend please advise so we may offer your reserved tickets to folk who are on said list. As suggested when we confirmed your ticket reservations and payment procedure we would appreciate payment in full by close of buisness 28th March 2009, if payments are not received by that date unfortunately we will have no alternative but to cancel your reservation with us and again pass on to those on the stand by list. Regards PD
