Hi Bentley I'm over in halstead but can get to chelmsford fairly easily if it would help (my old stomping ground lol)

Blimey - this meet is going to be epic! If everyone who's expressed an interest is able to come there'll be 23 of us making a nuisance of ourselves!

I better check if Giraffe can cope with that many people in one sitting; we'll pretty much be filling it at this rate! :thumbs:

Its a massive place, so should be ok.

As it looks like the 8th will win, may be worth a provisional booking, and getting the deposits sorted. We can also book hotel once date chosen.

At the moment

Jurys Inn £65
Holiday Inn £53 and is closer

do they have parking?

 

[evilrob]

do they have parking?

They do, but it's £6 a day according to their website.

 

[Puma Babe]

[Puma Babe]

[quest63]

Hotels charge for parking if your a guest? :evil:

They must be owned by a car insurance company :evil:

Looking forward to this!

as you're not committing to going why are you so upset??

 

[quest63]

Its a national scandal :roll:

 

[Puma Babe]

The hotel I'm in on Monday is £12 a night

 

[quest63]

For the room or for the car park

 

[Puma Babe]

car park

Streuth

 

[spike.]

A lot of hotels charge to use their car park, one in London I've stayed at a few times, charges £20 per night for car park.

 

[Puma Babe]

if it helps keep the car safe and secure I don't mind, and a taxi to somewhere more distant would cost more

 

[spike.]

When can we book hotel????

Is date confirmed????

 

[evilrob]

Well I was running the poll until the 26th but I guess it's looking like the 8th. Anyone got any objections if I end the poll early and book the restaurant for the 8th? (with apologies to Aaron/Lottie, who we know can't do the 8th)
