According to AA routeplanner it's only 20 miles more to come via Cheltenham - so I can pick you up there. PM me

[Gorky]

This seems a bit more doable for me than Essex so I'll see what I can do to come along Won't be able to commit to anything for a little while yet though.

[Paul Sherman]

N1 Nathan - The more the merrier, will be good to have you along for the meet up.

I've just tried to book a room for the Manchester meet up on 27th Feb but its saying rooms not currently available in the Jury's for what I want.

I'm just wondering if there is anyone else who's planning on going but haven't booked a room yet?

[Paul Sherman]

Andy Just to let you know Ian is sourcing other Hotels very near to the Jurys as like you said they are sold out - Must be a Storm Chase Convention on there or something like that PMSL

Paul S

[ian cameron]

That'll be great if you can Paul.

Thanks

Andy

Hiya Andy,

sorry for not getting on this sooner have been pre-occupied work and stuff but we are getting there I am going to have a gander at what hotels we can find and will post something up in the next few days.

People can you let me know how many of you have already booked at the jurys inn so I know how many rooms to look for many thanks

Ian

I am pretty keen to get to know you all before April comes around! I am yet to book a hotel, so any you find for a reasonable price would be fantastic.

[ian cameron]

Right I will have to hold my hands up and admit i have made a rather big blunder I did not make sure I booked us into the jurys inn when i first posted and unfortunatly as you all know their room rates are through the roof for the jurys inn on the 27th feb - It is £148 per night so thats not working. The Holiday Inn have however managed to book us into the holiday inn manchester central park so I have booked 5 rooms there at £71.50p per room. The list of people I have booked as follows

room 1 Ian cameron & Paul sherman

room 2 John Hanrahan & Pat Carter

room 3 Tom Lynch & Jenet lynch

room 4 Tammy Emery

room 5 Andy Paisley & nick Finnis

icbinb only saw your post after already booked the rooms however after checking thay are still doing the rooms at £71.50p. Dave vicary not sure if you have booked or not so if you have not maybe you 2 could share a room to keep the costs down. Arron are you still coming?

I hope I have not missed out anyone else how is coming if I have let me know so I have a rough idea about Nos and that once again sorry for the cock up hopefuly things will run smooth from now on.

ps will update here nearer the time with more info

They are still £71.50. I have booked a room with two single beds. If anyone wants to share then let me know.

Hey Stu, to the best knowledge (though i havn't checked today) you can cancel any booking with Jurys Inn something like 4 or 8 hours before your check in time. I use them alot when traveling with work.

[Paul]

I'm going to be coming back off of my holiday on the 25th so will have to play it by ear in terms of whether I can make it or not (ie how much work is waiting for me and how bad the jet lag is!), but hopefully I'll be there...

In terms of rooms, have you tried laterooms - seems to be a decent selection of hotels at pretty decent rates available that weekend:

well Paul it will be good to see you there if you can make it. laterooms.com is the website I used to book the rooms last week and they do seem to have the best selection of places to stay

Ian

[ian cameron]

Allright mate. Hotels are only 1.5 km away from each other according to google earth. You can kip with me and Pat if its a late one back at the hotel (s)
