    ...BUMP...

    So who's said they'll come? Do we have a list?

    Ticklemouse: While I'll still be looking at travelling by National Express and returning on the overnight service on the Saturday evening, I might now consider coming up on the Friday and staying over on the Friday night. Do you know if the hotel manager would do me the same deal as those of you spending Saturday night?

    bump - come-on guys and gals. Who else wants to go? I shall start looking for accomodation next week.

    I'm sure there will be lift sharing opportunities around the place too - if ya want to go, say so - it may spur someone else from your neck of the woods to come along too.

    Hi ,
    I would love to come and the dates are O.K. for me. I would be driving from the Medway area of North Kent and have spare seats if anyone needs them .I have a Citroen Picasso that will take two comfy in the back and a spare seat in the front.
    I'm not fussed where it is, as I quite enjoy driving. Let me know where and when and I will be there
    Cheers folks :j It will be great to put faces to names . I will be the short,tubby, fair-haired one with glasses, and a walking stick and a big smile :D

    Hi all.

    I don't know how many people are going to be staying o/n on saturday. So far I think I have 7 or 8 staying at the hotel, (plus ancasta and partner staying at another hotel - freebie, so very moneysaving :D) Then I have another 7 or so who will be turning up for the day. Thus it looks like we will be spending £20 pp pn on the rooms - which I don't think is too bad really.

    I think you all need to contact the hotel directly as deposits will have to be paid - you can try and negotiate discounts for other nights if you want. :). Get booking folks - otherwise it'll be me and kiwichick (and as she's incommunicado, I'm assuming she's got her DH to babysit for the night :D) I'm expecting the hotel owner to ring me in a day or so - I'm hoping there will be some other bookings by then cos the poor man will be expecting more than the 2 of us to stay :)

    I've pm'd the MSE team - so who knows, we may get some of them along too :)

    Ok - I've spoken to the owner - he has no bookings apart from us for this night as yet. There are only a few ensuite rooms (I've already baggsied mine :D ) but it seems a nice clean family run hotel.

    If you want to come - contact the hotel directly and use the password "Ticklemouse" so that he knows we are all from the same party. He will want a small deposit on booking. If we want evening meal he would like a couple of days notice, but we can arrange this nearer the time.

    Let me know as and when you've booked pls
