    Hi All

    I have confirmed beds at the Hostel for Caterina, Sarahsaver & Spendless for Friday 14th March, booking is in the name of MSE.com. Hopefully I will also be able to come along but I will need to confirm nearer the time & will make my own arrangements. Cost was £13 per person plus a 50p booking charge so I owe you all some money back (£1.33 each!).
    Would those who are definately staying & those who are planning on making it for the evening meal like to tie up with when & where to meet up?

    got a ticket £7.50 for one way, cant seem to get owt for the other way unless ipay through the nose. Do you have to wait before you can get the extra cheap ones? The one i got is a 7 day advance single or something like that. I could get a ticket back to london for £18 just get off before (i.e. home!) any ideas? is there a secret to getting a cheapie rail fare?

    When my sister used to live in York, I found that instead of putting in Bristol to York as the route it worked out cheaper if I did Bristol to Birmingham then Birmingham to York. Maybe you could try something like that?

    Have you checked the coach fares? Sometimes you can get very cheap (even £1!) for trips at odd hours (wonder if Friday and Saturday will cover it though!).

    ps. Can't wait!

    What time are you all going to be in York? Shall we meet in the afternoon in the hostel, or in the evening? I would like to know so if nobody else can make it in the afternoon I can go to visit that most famous York attraction........
