Dear Wedi,
I
did not want to go ahead and ask my son's Assistant to get quotations
but waited to seewhether there would be any more responses. Based on the
list you sent me I figure the numbers to be as follows:
Likely attendees:
UK - 10 + Maklu's wife possible - ?
Australia - 4 - 2
U.S.A. - 6 - 3
Sri Lanka - 12 - 7
Total - 32 - 12
The
list only mentions batchmate couples and in the case of big Makuls I
added spouse. Not sure how many many other spuses we should cater for
when deciding to ask for a quotation. Can we meet a figure of 60 persons for the Day time programme, 30 for Dinner Dance and 15 Single/Double rooms?
If
you feel comfortable with these numbers, I will ask them to go ahead
and get quotations from Heritance and Jetwing Beach / Jetwing Blue in
Negambo, Pegasus Reef Hendala Wattala and Blue Waters Wadduwa as per my
previous letter
Regards
Assa

Dear Assa.Have you made any progress in getting quotes for Hotels.I am waiting to write to the Batch mates , the final reminder.I feel we should give them the details of hotel accomofdation , charges etc in the final reminder.I don't have any inputs from our Group Leaders.I think it is time to have a discussion.Wedi
I would be more optimistic than the app. numbers you have included in the initial count.
Not attending;
Being
Sri Lankan’s, most of us are not always prompt and appear to be ‘last
minute. com type and needs lots of persuasion ( as it is favour to
them).
It is also likely that many of them may
not have their correct contact details shared with us and may not be
aware of the ReUnion unless their close contacts share the news.
It
would be very helpful for the batch mates to know of the details of the
location and app. Costs to be incurred for the day programme and the
overnight stay ( b&b etc) for single, double and family rooms.
It is likely the batch mates would respond accordingly if you ask the relevant questions ;
- please confirm if you are attending ( only for the day/ whole Event )
- if you are attending; please confirm (single/ with spouse/ partner/ children)
- do you want room accommodations (yes/no)
- if yes please indicate( single/double/family)
Etc etc.
You
should get a clearer picture once you send out your agreed draft
programme (which may subject to minor changes later depending on the
responses).
As to the numbers from UK, I have communicated with Mana intermittently but we need further details to influence others.
These
are the batch mates who are indicated as most probable( no one can be
absolutely certain as at present). I have not contacted everyone in uk
but Karu & I are sharing the information with most of our
colleagues.

Nana's
reply certainly is not only more informative but encouraging. Once I
get an idea of the prices in the next week to 10 days, we could send off
the ?final circular incorporating his suggestions,
