    Its the news we've all been waiting for!! Congratulations and well done for seeing it through to a successful outcome. I agree with the comments about waiting till you've got the money back in your account before naming and shaming and also about writing your review to post once the money's safely deposited! Absolutely fantastic news!!

    Hope your daughter gets well soon. This has been one hell of a week for you all! I'm so pleased for you!!!! :j:j:j:j:j

    Congrats Beks..I agree with the others wait until that cash hits your bank account and let rip...deffo contact the superintendent registrar of your local council and see if the wedding licence can be revoked. When you have the cash in the bank, I will spread the word amongst my fellow wedding planners that this venue is a place to be avoided.

    Glad to hear that DD is on the mend although discharging at 10pm seems a little bizarre but that's the NHS I guess.

    I just want to do a little gambol so will use Martin's head to reflect me gamboling around the room:money:

    Oh thank goodness, subscribing to this thread was worth it in the end :D

    SO pleased you guys are on the verge of getting your money back...I think you have every right to name and shame them once your position is secure.

    Also...I hope you will be writing your own truthful review on Tripadvisor....it's only right that people are warned of the potential pitfalls of this venue.

    Congrats to you both, hope your next venue is a million times better. Mind you, it wouldn't take much to beat this one!!:eek:

    Finally, after over 6 months of fighting this, the bailiffs have finally got our money back!!!!! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Soooooooo happy!!! We don't have the money ourselves but the bailiffs got ALL £5150 of it in cash!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D Because they got such a large amount of cash off him, the bailiffs had to bank the money with the courts and they will pay us in the next week to ten days! :j:j:j:j

    I cannot thank all of you enough for your kindness and support. It is down to you all that I have managed to keep fighting for this and get our money back. There are too many names to mention but those of you who have kept me stong know who you are and I cannot thank you enough. So so so so happy and so so so so grateful!!!! :T:T:T:T:T:T :D:D:D:D:beer:

    What do people think about publishing the name of the venue now?? Do you think it is safe as even though we dont have our money, it is now with the courts. Desparate to get going on my new campaign. :D:D:D:D:D

    And the other great news is that little dd is home and doing well. Still in a lot of pain but that should improve over the next few days. :)


    woo hoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
