The event will take place over the weekend from Friday through to Sunday with events being

Event Booking Details

The hotel that we will be running the event at is based in Woodbridge, Suffolk and is a purpose
built modern hotel set in rolling countryside just outside of Woodbridge.

It has a purpose built spa, golf course, crazy golf and driving range for those who like golf as well
as the other usual gym, bars, restaurants plus other accompaniments.

• Deluxe Double an extra £20 per room, per night
• Deluxe Superior an extra £45 per room, per night
• and a Premier Room at an extra £60 per room, per night.

But to be honest, the classic rooms are very nice as is. They also come with a balcony from memory

Nothing between now and the closing event? Seems odd to list your closing event first?

I presume too early to sort out the opening 2021 event, it is only a month or so since our 2020 Cobweb run.

^^^^^^ This - it takes months of work to sort out these events, and venues that are big enough to hold us all need to be booked up well in advance.
Even the little London tunnel runs, a couple of which I organised back in the dim distant past, were four to six months in the planning, sorting routes and start/finish venues.

Thanks, Alex, for talking the trouble both to organise this event and to inform us all well in advance.

[alex_gray255]

Yes, as mentioned these events tend to have a very long lead time to arrange.

In addition, since nothing has happened this year, it was felt to get the bookings done well in advance
as venues are very likely to get swamped next year - assuming things return to a semblance of normality

Appreciate things take time, just thought it odd to have a closing event at the end of 2021 before anything else is organised or even rumoured

Just say I'm just ahead of the game when compared to other events and leave it at that

I for one very much doubt we will be clear of COVID by April, sadly

Ditto, but by Oct... here's hoping...

[alex_gray255]

Hi,

Only a couple of weeks left to book for this one. Get in quick!

Thanks!

[Else]

Booked in to the hotel but can’t find any details about the event? Can someone direct me please

[alex_gray255]

[alex_gray255]

Hi folks

For those coming to this event, could you please indicate if you are wanting to do the brewery (or other) tour event on the Sunday afternoon.

We are looking to get the event booked, but need an indication of who wants to come.

Thanks!

[alex_gray255]

Booking on this event closes end of the month. If you are coming, please book ASAP. Thanks!

[phn]

Unfortunately, I'm not sure I will be free for the entire weekend for this event.

I'm not far away from the venue though (Norfolk).

Is there an option to drive down for the day, meet up and join in some of the drives, or do you have to book the full package?

[alex_gray255]

Hi! No, you can come for parts of it - like the drive.

Unfortunately, not enough people seemed to be interested in the brewery visit, so that has now been
dropped.

[phn]

Hi Thanks Alex, that's great, I would love to join in with some of the drivng on Sat or Sun (or both)
