The thing I really enjoy about BTaPs...
Discussion
... is catching up with all the people. Really, really nice!
I turned up v.late so started the event sober and hopefully this means that next year I won't have people saying how I spoke to them this year.. but couldn't rememeber! Hmm, or maybe not?!
The venue gets another thumbs up from me (even though the food was awful). Feel a bit guilty about not using any of the facilities though! Thought the breath test thingy on the way out in the morning was good - probablty an incentive from the hotel to keep everyone back drinking tea, coffee and lunching!
Did anyone else get their bill and ask to see the tickets for the drink? Initially I thought there's no way I could have drunk that much so asked to see the tickets. "Yep, that's mine. Yep, yep, yep... " through the whole lot! I'm either a pisshead, or bought a lot of people drinks

PPS. Anyone know why the PH organisers brought the Pistonfest weather with them again??

Because Garlick was there 
The drinks were extortionately expensive - £4.20 for a single vodka and slimline tonic!
BT&P is great isn't it. I wasn't really looking forward to this year, but I think it was the best one I've been to (so far)
It was my first one, really was great, I thought I'd met just about everyone, until I've looked on here and realised these loads I didn't meet!
Wasn't impressed my the food either, though the venue was good apart from that.
I wouldn't mind going back to check out the spa at some point cos all I did was sit in the bar, was still rather good though
BTaP 2008 - I think so!

Once again, the venue let the BTaP organisers down with the food on the night - some of our table had huge bits of pork, others had tiny ones, as someone said - some from a pig, some from a piglet

The food was awful. Some veg on the plate instead of just a carrot and two turnips would have been nice.
We were wondering what the white thing was, but agree that the food was awful and not up to scratch.Nice to meet you BTW.

There were turnips and carrots on the plates? i dont recall seeing those. I wasn't that impressed by the food either, soup was nice but ended up filling up on bread when i couldnt be bothered to chew the pork anymore. Don't like coffee puds either, although the icecream was nice...so nice infact we/i pinched someone elses too! However, the company more than made up for this minor setback. Very nice to meet you all, thankyou for a good intro to BTaP.
Did anyone else get a raging headache after drinking the wine?? No?....just me then. Probably shouldn't have mixed it with cider and strawpedos
