We could have a Pre-T-Party & either try to drink the pub attached to the hotel dry or even hit Broad Street

---

Broad street on a friday night is quite frightening. Much drinking required methinks

I'm not posting much at the mo in an attempt to simplify my life currently, but i'm really looking forward to this and do still love you all

VG, you have cleverly picked a weekend when i'm off shift, and if you want a hand with anything let me know, cos i'm off the thursday and friday too. Don't have a car, but can do meet n greets at the station or whatever. Mail me if you want hun

What one did you get to for the SHP Noid?

---

2 years ago Chamb, Sara and I flew to London, where VG picked us up. lot cheaper flight
Birmingham has direct flight from Amsterdam, if I can just convince someone to pick me up at the airport I can avoid the scary Brittish public transportation like the last 2 years

Well all I can say is that this sucks

I can't go yet AGAIN I get back from LA the day before. and as Georgia isn't coming to LA with us its not fair that I go to party instead of seeing her

I assume that its Birmingham International that you would come to. The train is easiest to the venue as driving in Birmingham is a nightmare to drive around. When are you intending to arrive/depart? I could do an airport run to London in exchange for lots of beer/petrol money donation (cheaper when split 3 ways)

Hm. Gotta ask if there's any sort of deadline for when applications or hotel info or whatever needs to be in for. Doubt I can go but shall have to see how kind Christmas is (if deadlines extend that far)

Sorry to hear that Jola, I can assure you the date was not picked so that you couldn't attend. Oh well, unlike us, you are going to LA... Posting Board Party? So make sure you have fun there, hobnobbing with all the stars if that is where you are going. If you aren't going to that party then just have a good time wherever it is you are going!

Fiddlesticks! I meant to answer this one with my last post - sieve for brains this morning!

Spikeo hun, the only real deadline is getting yourself a room in the hotel. The date I am cancelling all unbooked rooms (if there are any!) is 9th January. The date that ticket money has to be in before is 15th February, again that is if it hasn't sold out. Only people whose £10 we have received & appear on the list have a ticket, but no doubt if we get near that stage then either Tam or myself will post up warnings that tickets are running out.

All the info you need about this is in the Info email which can be requested from the thread 'stuck' to the top of the Meets Forum.


All Please Note: It is pay on arrival for your room - although they may ask over the phone for credit card details to hold the room under your name. If you don't have a credit card fear not! They did say that they would hold a room without a credit card until 4pm on the day of arrival so as long as you are checked in before 4pm you would have your room saved. Also, it is your choice how you settle the bill when you get there (you don't have to use that credit card), you can choose to pay by cash, for example. The credit card is only used by them if you fail to turn up - they charge the room cost to the card, as they held it for you & didn't sell it.

Room booked, will send cheque this week!

I did have a heart attack about the credit card thing, but VG has explained it all nice and clearly.

Out of curiosity, i plan to train it down again and i know it'll be a little while before i get my ticket, but which is best station to get off at, and how close is the train station to the hotel?

Room booked and cheque will be out later this week

You'll want Birmingham New Street, and it's definitely within walking distance of the hotel (unless you're me and get lost every time you set foot in Brum).

Cool. Thanks White Hart

Count me in Missed last year cos i joined afterwards, and heard that was fun - so will DEFINATELY be there

I up for that too. From what I've heard they are always a blast, and well a party, yeah

Room booked.

Cheque would have been posted had I not been confined to bed for most of the day - *cough* *sneeze* *splutter*

Wondered whether you got the email as it went to the sentinel address.

Cheque will be out later on this week.

Hmm, I might start a tradition here. I've got the hankering for a new tattoo. And seeing as I've got nothing planend for the morning/afternoon of the party.....

Gee Ta! I've got a parlour sussed out already and one of my engineers that I take care of lives close to there. Might see if he's up for a bit of an outing if I give him the day off
