I wished to attend this event, but the registration was closed already. May I ask when was the deadline?
Dear Rie,
Thank you for your interest in our activities. We closed the registration Tuesday night, as it reached our capacity for this weekend.
We cannot tell in advance when it will be, so I suggest, in the future, that you register as soon as possible.
Next trip will be June 9-10, and registrations will open early next week.
Cheers,
Laureline from Nadia
Thank you very much for your reply!
