Venue...

[PetrolTed]

...checked out a venue for BTaP05 yesterday :)

[dazren]

Would you mind finshing your previous post please.

[PetrolTed]

Was very impressed with it. Lovely place. Can't tell you and more now though or I'd have to you.

Come on Ted I need to book my flights as GF has told me I'm not driving throught the night this year.

[burriana]

Will the bar be open when we get there

Do we have a confirmed date and is there any chance of it NOT clashing with bonfire night again cos, a) my sister-in-law does a mean bonfire pie n peas with a sticky toffee pudding chaser ... and b) Vicki refuses to miss said bonfire party again!

However it does mean I could drive all the way down with the roof off this time!

[tonyhetherington]

I've not been to a BTaP before - this time I'm certain to come and really looking forward to it!

[PetrolTed]

I have a provisional reservation for later in November - we can't get early November. I have asked if there's anything in late October too.

I have checked that the bar will be open when you arrive and bar snacks will be available.

This is all subject to confirmation though as we're still looking at the proposal from the venue concerned.

Most excellent!

Though if we have to go for the last weekend in October it may necessitate an explanation as to why Vicki's birthday weekend shopping, eating and drinking in Dublin has suddenly changed to somewhere in the Midlands involving cars

I'm hoping its around the general area that the last two were at...? Neither were too far to travel

unfortunately that's quite reasonable for bars in nottingham

£3.50 a pint in the lacemarket area

and I suppose £7.50 is spot on average for a hotel...although ted could try bargaining for lower prices based on the amount likely to be consumed

[luca brazzi]

Excellent news!

I've already got around £600 worth of raffle prizes in books from WHS.
