CPW Booking Information
To book for a CPW event in 2009, complete the booking form obtainable here in block capitals. Send the completed booking form, with a cheque for your deposit (and membership subscription, if you haven't already paid for 2010), to the address shown for your 1st choice event. Give a 2nd choice of event if you can; if your first choice is fully booked, your booking form will then be automatically transferred to your 2nd choice. All cheques, etc. should be payable to "Catholic People's Weeks".
Prices, deposits and discounts
- The full prices and deposits for each event are given in this table. The maximum deposit required is £100 per booking.
- The deposit is not normally refundable. But if you subsequently cancel your booking and we are able to fill the places, the deposit will be refunded (less a £5 administration fee).
- A 33% discount will be given for the 3rd and subsequent children of the same family.
- Bookings received by the end of February attract a 5% discount.
- The balance is payable at the event.
Membership
For legal reasons, CPW events are open only to paid-up members of CPW. The membership subscription is £10 per year, covering all members of the same family at the same address - or £5 per year for those on low incomes. If you are not booking for an event this year, but would still like to join CPW (or renew your membership), send your subscription directly to the Treasurer, Vin Allerton, at 34 Poppythorn Lane, Prestwich, Manchester M25 3BY. Members receive a newsletter three times a year, and the brochure for the next year as soon as it is published.
Friendship Fund
If cost might be an issue, ask about a bursary from our "friendship fund". Contact either the booking co-ordinator for your 1st choice event or the Treasurer, Vin Allerton, on 0161-773 3318. All enquiries are strictly confidential.
Third World Fund
At most CPW events, members are invited to make a contribution (if they wish) to our Third World Fund. They can also nominate one or more specific developing world charities to which the money collected is to be given - otherwise, the money is sent to CAFOD.
Members with special needs
Some of our members find it difficult to attend CPW events, as a result of advancing age and/or problems of physical mobility. If you have been a member of CPW for five years or more, and you now need to bring someone with you to help you get around (whether a professional carer or an able-bodied friend), we offer two places for the price of one. Please telephone the Treasurer, Vin Allerton, on 0161-773 3318 to check the suitability of Centres for people wishing to book on this basis.
Other information
- Parents may each bring one additional child who is not of their own immediate family (to all-age events); the 33% discounts do not apply to such children.
- Sorry, but pets cannot be accommodated.
- " Smoking is never allowed in the buildings we use and most of the Centres place restrictions on smoking anywhere on the premises.
- Bookings will normally be confirmed within 2 weeks of receipt. If you would prefer communication by e-mail (to save on postage costs and the vagaries of delivery) please tick the box on the booking form and supply your e-mail address.
- Full joining details for events are normally sent out about 4 weeks in advance.
Special offer for new members: one-third off all bookings!
Simply mark your booking "New Member" and the discount will be applied, subject to checks that you have not previously attended a week. We think CPW is already very good value, but this special offer will enable us to spread the word even farther. Existing members - let your friends know! Bursary help from the Friendship Fund will still be available as well where it's needed.
So now is the time to start actively talking about CPW with people who you think would enjoy and benefit from the experience. You might need to book early, because this could be our most popular offer ever!
