The BFT homepage shows the available Master Classes now on their homepage:

I believe it is as well a first-come-first-serve issue.

Re: BFT
I applied for the only Masterclass which appealed to me, which was the one being run by Dirk on aged LBVs. I got confirmation last week from Danny that I had been allocated a seat.

Re: BFT
I have an extra place, as it turns out. Rachel is starting a new job next week and can't come over. We can explain to the organisers on the day, I presume the numbers are all they're worried about.

Re: BFT
No, please don't explain to the organisers on the day. Just turn up with DRT and introduce him as Rachel. I want to witness the effect of that...djewesbury wrote:I have an extra place, as it turns out. Rachel is starting a new job next week and can't come over.
