coastal marketing

We're being offered free holiday for 4 (actually £49 per person admin charge) by this company in return for attending presentation in Exeter. I'm very suspicious as you might expect but the lady was very pleasant (very nice/not pushy) and guarantees its not timeshare but word of mouth marketing. Plus we get M&S vouchers (my wife likes that idea) for the cost of petrol in attending.
'Pleae bring your driving licence and 2 forms of ID'.
I would bin it straight away but I fancy a week away in October and if I had to sit through the presentation to get it then so be it...that sounds a bit naive as I'm typing it cos I'm sure plenty people have gone with that attitude and ended up committing to something they didn't want or coming away with nothing.
But has anyone had any experience of them?
Thanks muchly.
Treat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.
