Alton Towers - 23rd October 2004
Alton Towers is back for another year.
This year it's going to be a little different. We're going on Saturday 23rd October. A few people have mentioned to me that this would be a good time to go, because the rides are open later (some until 9pm), there's special Halloween events and there's a fireworks display at the end of the day.
Apart from the date though everything is the same as usual. We've booked rooms in the Holiday Inn Express in Derby (the same hotel as last year), so if you want to stay on one or both nights then you can book through us, rather than having to do it directly with the hotel
Park tickets
These will be £20 (maybe a little bit less if we get a large group).
Hotel Rooms
£50 per room per night for a twin, double or family room (2 adults and up to 2 children)
£60 for a triple room
£70 for a quad room
All include breakfast
As usual there's a roomies thread
For more information and full details of the hotel and how to book, please email me at Rich@jedispringer.co.uk, even if you've already told me that you'd like to go (it's easier if you do that, as I'm cross-posting this in a few places and won't be able to check everywhere for peoples' addresses)
Any other comments, just post them below

Answers to a couple of questions that a few people have asked.....
The last day for booking is Thursday 7th October. I have to get rid of any rooms from the group booking that I'm not using after this. Please bear in mind that the deadline for you to get the payment to me (cleared in my account) is the following day.
If you have already let me know you're coming then you can change your room arrangements (ie if you want to add/lose roomies, amalgamate 2 rooms into 1 etc.) any time up until the 7th October.
If you're sending me details of what you want then please make sure you include the following information:
*Your full (real) name - I need to give the hotel a rooming list.
*Which nights you want to stay.

Don't know if anyone is planning to take their kids to Alton Towers for this meet or any time soon, but Cadburys is doing this offer where one child gets in free with one full paying adult. All you need to do is get a Cadbury bar with the promotional wrapper and take it with you and i think you need to register on the cadbury website (www.cadbury.co.uk/greatthings), and get the downloadable voucher which is all free. All details are on the website anyway
Just thought i'd let you know
