Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

The Waterfront Restaurant IS closed that week end for some window repairs, but as we are going to be in The Library Private Dining Room we will be unaffected.

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

Are there any hotels or guest houses that are accessible to those with disabilities near to where the meet will take place, Cel? Thanks in advance.

Yes indeed. I know Inca is seeking just such a place. I'll do a list in a minute.

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

I've provisionally booked a dinner at the Hilton. :tongue2: 7pm Saturday 30th November

It will be a private room (phew) and we need at least 20 guests to make it worthwhile.

Dinner will be £25 + vat per head for 3 courses. (Menu attached) :lunch:

We'll organise wine, beer and soft drinks separately I think! :spit:Save any arguments over the bill LOL:fencing:

So whose IN???

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

The Thistle is lovely and very central indeed. For those who can afford the Thistle, do go ahead.

Hotels in Kemptown are a very short walk away and are better value.

I'll do a map and a list in the next few days x Been swamped

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

I have just gone on to book the Metrpole and found that the restaurant is closed for the date that we wanted to have our get together meal - so I am now looking at the Thistle hotel. They do a faulty Towers dining experience lol.

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

Sorry Can't offer a 'backsie' to anyone,,they sold Gertie.............but anyone who needs a lift from this general direction we have spare seats too..(If you don't mind sharing with 4 cats msl: ......I DID mention that 'have cats..will travel..didn't I huh? huh?......JUST HEARD THE COLLECTIVE :faint: OF SAPPHIRE,TUTTSI & CEL)

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

Righty ho, I've booked.

I will be driving down on the Saturday morning from Essex and himself will come on the train after the footy.

If anyone wants a lift from my neck of the woods I've got a couple of spare seats.

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

Voucher codes are giving an extra 10% off of bookings through hotel.com so don't know if that helps or not, will check it out later. Just check this discount is not available on this hotel - sorry x

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

We will be booking hotel today for me + Alan on a cancellation basis just in case so it will cost us slightly more on a bed and breakfast basis. Also, anyone wanting a lift from NW London we will have space in car for 2 people.

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

After much debate we have decided to be based at the Hilton Metropole http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/hilt...580bX1;hptv=do

Obviously not everyone will want to stay there, there are more reasonable hotels in the immediate area.

Celestine is organising a dinner on the Saturday evening and will post more information on here later.

So when you have booked please can you post on here so we can make a list of attendees.

Re: Lb xmas meet in brighton

Thanks Enaid, I quite like the look of the Thistle Hotel for us http://www.thistle.com/en/hbs/room_a...lity_list.html but since I do not know Brighton that well, I am not sure of how central it is and whether it is to large for us or too expensive for everyone. Also if people are coming by car we need to ensure that whichever hotel/guest house we will have parking facilities.

The Thistle is lovely and very central indeed. For those who can afford the Thistle, do go ahead.
