unless you can all cancel, someone will have to. If it's in your name you'll be responsible for paying the holiday company or whoever. Can't you ask the rest of your mates to chip in, or try and sell the empty room to someone else? And have a stiff word to the one who backed out because technically he owes you the money (the law would say you had a contract - he agreed to pay you �50, so you booked the holiday for him). But he doesn't owe it to the holiday company.

Try to contact the company and see if you can cancel him. You may only lose a deposit.

The moral is do not book anything until you have the money in hand. I made that mistake and it cost me way more than 50 quid.

By the way, my "friend" who let me down is no longer a friend. If there are any costs involved in someone cancelling, they should pay for it, not me, the person who worked hard to book it in the first place.

There'll be no doubt someone who will take his place, just ask around. I used to panic when I started doing this sort of thing ie booking group holidays when someone pulled out but it all slips into place. I now have a waiting list just in case!! In future take out insurances they're well worth it!

The honourable thing for your friend to do is to offer to pay his end of the deal. If he isnt preapred to pay what is a measly 50 pounds, then he isnt no friend. Ditch him. I once had a friend do the same thing to me, booked a flight then decided he didnt want to go. Luckily he had paid me for it already, but when he said he wasnt going, he asked me for his money back! ****! I said, "You think Ryanair does refunds?" LOL thankfully we were able to find a replacement for the hotel and had a better holiday with our replacement friend altogether!

Cant you get somone else to take his place, then you only have to change the names on insurance and flight which will have to be paid for, think thats how it works.
