hello everyone, this is pertaining to the chalet. PLEASE READ THIS AS THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

as you all know (hopefully), the price each person has to pay for the chalet has increased to 18$ per person from 15$. this is because Aranda does not allow us to consult public catering, and instead, they provide their own catering services, which is, of course, more expensive. we do not really have a choice because if we are caught with public catering, we will be fined 300$. so that's why we have decided to go for Aranda's catering for the first day of the chalet only, and this is due to several reasons:

1. Main comms of respective schools have leadership training camp and will only be able to come on the first day of the chalet.
2. on the second day, it has come to our attention that several people will be going clubbing, so it will be useless to have catering when so many people will be gone when they have paid for the catering.

also, the reason why we chose not to have a barbeque is because of the problems we have faced during our Rinku GL chalet, where there was insufficient and expensive food and we do not want to face this problem again, so please understand our decision. also, there were some conflicts during the barbeque, as it is very difficult to appease so many hungry people when only a few who wish to volunteer to cook, plus, there's only one BBQ pit.

that said, we shall go into more details about the chalet and it's cost. the chalet itself costs $513.60, because it is during peak period. besides this, the catering costs 516$, which amounts to approximately 1030$.
first and foremost, you guys should really be grateful and thank dolyce for coming up with the cost of everything all by herself, as we do not think that anyone would be willing to come up with such a big amount first.
with that said, some of you have not made things easy by:
asking if you can pay less if you do not eat the catered food/do not stay in the chalet.
confirmed that you're coming and cancel in the end.
keep nagging for BBQ.

if you actually think about it, just by paying ONLY 3$ extra, you are confirmed being fed for the first night of the chalet, which is cheaper than eating out.
we know some of you really have plans that clash with the chalet that you cannot cancel, but since you have confirmed your presence in the chalet at an earlier date, we think it's only right you pay the same amount as the rest, because if you don't, dolyce will be the one covering the cost for you. for this, we will give leeway here and there AFTER the chalet (after discussion between the organisers).

c'mon guys we really need your cooperation in this, as we are working very hard to make this chalet as fun as possible for you guys. please spread the word about this post to other Rinkus, and this would be greatly appreciated. thank you very much, and we look forward to seeing you on Monday :)
