Re: Christmas Bash

Coventry is good for me, but please make sure the venue sells good beer, nothing worse than turning up and finding out they only sell Fosters or Carling, or some ale that measures 2.6% abv, They don't sell cider in the midlands do they?

Re: Christmas Bash

You can usually get dry blackthorn and/or strongbow round here. Most places sell Magners as well these days, if thats any good to you.

Re: Christmas Bash

Okay - whats the plan ?

Do we want to go somewhere just for drinks and a laugh or do we want something more orgainsed, involving food, that maybe costs more ?

A drinks night out in coventry is probably the most likely to be attended by most people as once you take travel expense, hotels and then a 'dinner' / 'entrance' fee on top many wouldnt be able to stretch to it.

So someone pick a date - find a nice weatherspoons and a nearby travelodge and we're in business

I THINK

...if peeps meet up 6 or 7ish then those that want to can get some grub in the pub ..... and bring your own crackers

Re: Christmas Bash

Good idea Ame, what we need is somewhere like Petey again, the hotel was bang in the middle of the bars, clubs etc. Personally I don't mind jigging around in a Chicago Rock again at least the music varied and was to everyones taste. Hell they even played Robbie yayyyyyyyyyyyy.
I've just taken a look at Travellodge - Coventry, looks like its somewhat out of the way, we need to take a look for hotels located near the 'action' so to speak.
Birmingham Central looks promising but the rooms are around £66 for a double.
I've checked on dates, 3rd, 10th, 17th & 24th November.

Anyone else got any ideas.

Oh and I've chatted to Ashley, and asked him to come up with a possible deal in his hotel in Barrow.

Re: Christmas Bash

Wolverhampton racecourse has a hotel on it does a good deal as well and entertainment. Just a thought!!!!!

They now have Wetherspoons with Hotels attached, best of both worlds.

Re: Christmas Bash

That looks like a plan to me. I'm happy with that, and the hotel details are there as well.

sapphire

Can everyone say yay or nay to Ame's idea please !

Re: Christmas Bash

Here's a couple of hotels that are available. http://www.booking.com/searchresults...adius=0.54;ws=

The Menzie's is £74 per room but the parking facilities are away from the hotel.
The Ramada is £64 per room and has parking available at a £4.00 charge on site.

Or the Ivis http://www.ibishotel.com/ibis/ficheh...he_hotel.shtml
This looks very reasonable £49 per room and there's parking.

Any thoughts
