Posted 1 November 2004 - 9:29pm on Freeski Club UK
Got my membership pack today. really good thanks guys. however there was one thing that dissapointed me. As i eagerly grabbed my Tamworth passed i was thrilled to see i could get a 3 hour session or a 1 hour session for free. but then i saw the small print. i quote "when accompanied by a full paying customerpurchasing a similar sessionof equal or greater value". this isnt a free pass.its an advertising slip you could pull out of any snowboard magazine. i expected that i would get a free session and as i dont have any mates who ride in my area, i cant use it. please explain SCUK.
cheers

This is the deal and it's what it says on our pages about the discounts. It's better than most of the magazine deals this year and we really had to fight for it. This is Tamworth giving away £28 worth of slope time for nothing. All they ask is that you bring somebody along who perhaps might not otherwise come. They're not a charity after all.

There's small print with the Xscape vouchers too. You can only use those out of season, but let's face it, that's the best time to go.

Of course you can use it. Walk in to the Tamworth foyer and grab somebody in the queue or even better get a mate hooked and then use it.

No need to explain. It does exactly what it says on the tin.

No apology needed. Perhaps we need to make it clearer that there's small print attached.

You're off topic!!! I don't think you should be trying to discuss things that don't relate to gimmicks and/or SCUK.
