Question for Simon re. Factory Visit 2008

[alexphoto]

Hi Simon
Please include me for the visit. I hoped to come last year but was prevented by work. This year I am determined to make it.

[Dave Miller]

Please put me down for a revisit if that's permissible.

Simon. Same as Dave if you are short of first timers. I can't quite work if you are short. There seemed to be plenty of takers when the thread went up but assuming you are short and will remain so, then I'd love to make a second visit. Thanks

Add me to your list of visitors please Simon, I missed out on the last one.

[Mark Burley]

Visit...

I am more than willing to go still - I missed it last time.

Simon, if the visit is still planned to go ahead, I am reconfirming my earlier post that I would love to come along, and I can confirm for a friend as well.

I may be able to confirm another tomorrow...

thanks, Richard

 

[RichMoss]

I may be able to confirm another tomorrow...

The other was interested but can't make it now. So that's still 2 from me.

 

[Simon R Galley]

OK I will confirm go / no go with the factory visit by the end of this week

If you're short of numbers I'd love another go around. If you've too many then (having been once) I'll let a first-timer take the spot.

Many thanks for the opportunity!

I would reallylike to make the visit, but (Sod's Law!) the first week in June is the one week in the whole of 2008 when I just can't get.
I'd certainly make every effort to come to any future visits which might be arranged.

 

[Blighty]

Is the visit still planned for 6th June? Really want to go, but I need to put in a request on the rota's ASAP.

Hi Simon - just to confirm I woudl like to come again if there is availability - first timers first.

Regards,
Matt

An unexpected Centennial hitch has polarized the galaxy-wide POP culture resulting in a rip in the fabric of time...
However, not every nothing was not lost; In fact, no Harman ten did.
Furthermore, I was informed this morning that Dr. Who has been retained by Harman to correct this glitch and that
no further leaking of additional minutes into the traditional "week" should be noticed.

Humm... Curiously however, it was also requested that no changes to the present lineup be noticed either.

Ray, please send half kilo of whatever medication your are taking. I may then be better placed to understand my position in the cosmos. I may be older than I think I was.

 

[Fintan]

Unfortunately this would be too close now for me to organise time-off work, ferry and accommodation. I hope someone can fill my place.

The same holds true for me. Well, after a search and replace of "ferry" by "plane". Count me out for this year's visit. Better luck next time.

 

[thomsonrc]

As Simon hasnt confirmed, I will not be able to commit to this now as I need notice to arrange time off work.

Dave,

Sure, no problem.
It should get to you by the end of the week...
Keep an eye out for it.

I suspect Harman has a lot going on just now and didn't want to bother them,
but the anticipation just got too intense.

So I resorted to humor.

Speaking of which...
you can put your eye back in now.

I think we had gotten to know the date and participants list by now based on previous years' visits. I think you are right about things being busy at Harman. It would be a pity if first timers have to cry off because 6 June is now too close. Maybe an autumn visit fits the bill better. A few months really isn't going to make a lot of difference and may enable those first timers to re-arrange their schedules to get there. They have to be the priority.

If a major change is necessary, off peak season dates would indeed be helpful
for those who have to fly....

But is it really too late to save... ?

Humor is always welcome.

 

[Dave Miller]

I think Simon may need a little space right now, I'm sure he will sort this out to everyone's satisfaction just as soon as he can.

Is the factory visit cancelled??

I haven't read any officialy statement from Simon.

Have I missed something here?

 

[Simon R Galley]

Dear Harry et al,

The board of HARMAN technology have agreed to support another factory tour in 2008, they have suggested a date in September or October since the number of new visitors for the June date did not justify the cost of running this special day.

I will discuss with HARMAN people a prospective date and post it next week.

That's good to hear, Simon. Glad it's not cancelled, just ever so slightly delayed. Thanks for the update. Let's see some more first-timers express their interest here!
