When we used to have the Femail meets in Brum, we used to find a hotel and get a block booking, so then we could colonise the bar for the day (the night and the early morning ) I think the biggest one I was at had about 40 people there I presume there are more hotels now in the city centre, so everyone staying in the same one wouldn't be necessary really. Do you really believe that the afternoon will be enough, Ally?????????????

Ok, did a bit of quick research, the hotel we used back then was the Brittannia - it was only okish, but of the four I've checked is the most expensive. I chose Saturday 22nd June as a possible date.
Holiday Inn - £59.77 per room
Ibis - £49.50 per room
Premier Inn - £63 per room
None of those included breakfast but there are plenty of cafes around for those who don't mind if they don't have a hotel breakfast.
What's needed here is for someone to talk to a chosen hotel about some kind of group rate, then get a reference so everyone can make their own reservation. I'm not going to volunteer, as I'm busy organising the ballroomdancematters.com trip to Blackpool in April, so I've enough on my plate!!
