Hi guys,
It is unlikely I will be coming as my baby will only be a month old (and thats if it decides to come on time!) However - I will def come along to the next gathering and will even bring my own mic for the kareoke!!!

Sorry you are not able to make it but think what you have got to look forward to instead:D . If it comes off we will tell you all about it.Good luck with the baby. X

27th Aug is a good date for me (at the moment!)

Now all I have to do is persuade OH that "meeting a bunch of strangers off the internet in a hotel" is not as seedy as that sounds!

Errrr isn't the 27th August a Wednesday there is a Saturday the 23rd or 30th, i believe 23rd is the bank holiday weekend too so most places bump up their prices for bank holiday weekends.

OOPS Sorry i was looking at sept not August,well it was early this morn:p

Best make it the 30th( i think this was the wkend BLTN & WDIAG had in mind anyway) then,as you are quite right EW they do tend to bump the price up for b/h.

Also even going for the 30th you may find problems finding available accomodation due to it being the bank holiday week as you may find places booked up for week long stays.

Something to watch out for when you decide on a date and looking for a place to stay should it be Travel lodge or Premier Travel inn places is alot of these places have unofficial rules (as in would deny it to the public) on minimum stays. Its quite easy to get 1 night stays during the week but come the weekend they often say they are booked up unless you book a 2 or on bank holidays a 3 night stay. The way round it especially with Travel inn is to book for 2 nights then when you check in just cancel your 2nd night and just pay for the 1.
