Booking Limited Availability Events

To submit booking forms and deposits for the AGM and Literary Weekend events:

Please be aware that for Annual General Meetings, Literary Weekends, and other TARS events which have limited availability, the booking period is generally not opened until a date sometime after the publication containing the booking forms is mailed. This is done to help ensure that Overseas TARS will have received the booking information and had a chance to send in their booking forms and money to be part of the initial "pot" of bookings.

For example, the information for each AGM will be published in Despatches in December. It will include the booking forms together with an announcement as to the date on which the organising region will begin processing bookings.

The same will be true for the biennial Literary Weekend with the mailing of Signals in April.

TARSUS members please follow these general instructions to book one of these events:

1. As soon as possible after you receive it, fill out the booking form completely including final calculation of amount and determine the deposit (if only a deposit is required).

2. Convert the deposit (or total) amount to U.S. dollars using the conversion rate here.

3. Send the original completed booking form to the name and address indicated on or with the booking form directly to the U.K., so it's received prior to the opening of bookings.

4. Send a copy of the completed booking form with your check in U.S. dollars for the deposit, made out to The Arthur Ransome Society, to Robin Marshall at the address below.

5. You will receive direct notice from the U.K. when your bookings are confirmed.

6. If there is a date by which you must submit the remainder of your payment that is prior to paying at the event itself, be sure to include a note with your check when you send it to me indicating what it's for.

If you have any questions about this process or how to apply it to a specific event, please contact the event coordinator listed in the appropriate publication, or contact the TARSUS Coordinator by e-mail (preferred as I can receive and respond to your query wherever I may be traveling), telephone, fax or letter:
