    I know Spud, its a year gone September since I have seen Jinks too. I was just saying to her today that we must make a promise to get together this year.

    I am still thinking of planning a Durham meet sometime near Easter hols with maybe Beamish museum being on the cards as something to do in the day.

    ok, well, the travelodge at Washington has £29 rooms for 3rd Apr and Durham for £39!

    i think it was a bank hol when peeps met last year and got some rooms quite reasonably priced.

    Well this is the cheapest I have found for £30 a night. Not too bad really :confused:

    Unless you have the car I would advise a central Durham hotel we have a travelodge and premier inn, what do you reckon Zed?
