Another BBWF 09 Option
Discussion
Righty oh chaps and chapesess
Earlier today sent a mail to these people
www.devere-hotels.com
They have been very encourageing to talk to indeed.
The hotel is the Herons Reach in Blackpool and seems to tick all the boxes so far.
I gave them a run down of past events and they seemed fine with it, the guy i was speaking to said he would even be looking forward to the loudest wedge competion!!!
They have spoken very openly and have told me that in the past they have held similar events and by the sounds of it people have stayed there who were involved in the Home Coming Events.
They spoke of a 500 space car park that could be cordened off for us , they where fine with Rolling Road Shoot out, Vendor Stalls and giving us use of a funtion room for the evening.
Food for the evening could be a sit down slap up or a BBQ or a Hog Roast like last year.
The events guy Tony is going to go over some numbers the weekend and give me a buzz on Monday.
Sunday could include that run down the Golden Mile for them once in a lifetime Photographs.
What do you reckon?

That is a nice hotel and there are many other goods ones around St Annes. If that's where we go people may want to look at the Dalmeny and the Inn on the Park in St Annes as places to stop as well (unless De Vere can cope with everyone and are competetive).
The Dalmeny breakfast is the best I've ever had in a few hundred nights in hotels (not a great car park for TVRs, but they are loud in the underground part muhahaha!

Sounds like a good venue Rob, lets see what rates they want to charge us and if the poll stays the way it is, then it could be a great option.

If that's the one on the sea-front that was used to host Back Home about 10 years ago, I hope the catering has improved. Sunday lunch was staff-canteen lasagne slopped in desultory fashion by disinterested staff onto a plate and served with cold stodgy chips, £15 a head for the dubious privilege.
Not only that but the drinks were astronomical: pint of bitter (weak and watery) and a small glass of house wine, no change from a fiver. Ten years ago? Twelve?
Still, I got to rap with Trevor and even had a brief yak with Chris Tierney as he ransacked his Turbo for a stray sock or something...
