A VV meet

[Workingman]

This thread should be a sticky, or a new one started nearer the time, so that we can have a rolling update of names, places and times.

Yes we can have a 'sticky' nearer the time

Exciting, seems it might be the biggest meet ever!!

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?????????????

I wish, I really wish I could get over, but sadly not

Kaz, I sent a pm and an e-mail, have I done something wrong somewhere? Always possible

Sorry, going completely off subject here

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!!

Ton sorry I have no idea what you mean? Done what wrong - and sent to who?

[Kaz]
