Beratis - May 2 slot for Cine Secreto

Thank you!

Could I book those:

GCh. Dark Ages - Ch. Ekina, March 2

Honeydukes - Ch. Azhagu, March 2

@Leah - Local Haunt’s April 1 spot was taken before I saw your post, but I booked you an April 2 slot if that works.

@Hilda_with_Clicker - Unfortunately neither have March slots. Dark Ages’ next open slot is June 1, and Honeydukes has a May 1 or May 2. Let me know if any of those work.

I hope I got everyone else! A few slots had been booked off-forum between me updating yesterday and seeing posts today.

If both the June slots for Straticus are still available, could I get them please and I’ll confirm mares in the next day or two?

Thank you

Done.

April 2 works too, thanks!

So I’ll just book Honeydukes for Azhagu, May 1 would be good!

Thanks Shelbie. I’ll send Spock’s Gold and Worthy Endeavor please.

Can I please get Nobly Regals May1a spot for Holy Revelation?

All set.
