Excellent, chaps, that's 6 of us anyway
Just had some more info from the hotel - same rate even if only staying one night (i.e. £55 per person), and it'll be a £25 non-refundable deposit, which you'll have to leave yourselves by ringing the hotel. But don't do anything yet as all this is tentative and dependent on getting the numbers!
Chris - potholes?? I was working on the basis that you'd bring your own... :-P
Just consulted H..... We are up for it Norm please Friday and Saturday night.....
Just bumping to the top Norm !
Norm how many more cars do we need to secure the hotel and drive?
Folks if you don't have a Stratos to drive we don't mind, its a social event come in what you have and join in the fun..
Hi Gang, ta to Ian and Phil for the bump (preferable to a jump, in this instance...) and the call to arms.
At the moment we've got 5 couples staying over, maybe 6 - I wasn't given a "minimum number" for the discount but based on last year's do I reserved 10 rooms. I'd hope we'd be alright if we could get 8, but I'll hang on to see if we get any more takers before going back to the hotel in a week or two.
Like Ian says, doesn't matter what you drive. Last year we had Porsches, Fords, a Citroen, an MGB and even a Nissan Micra, among others. I certainly won't be in a Stratos as it's still just a pile of bits in the garage!
C'mon folks - roll up, roll up, step right this way....
Would have loved to come to this,could have thrown it open to the TRDrivers group,but I just cannot plan anything at the moment due to me waiting on my bypass operation,should have been 16th April but been cancelled!
You can come anyway, we'll probably be doing the odd bypass as part of the route!
Seriously tho, hope you get a date soon and get sorted...must be a big strain waiting on something like that.
All,
Just swapped a few emails with the hotel - we're OK for the discount price even with the low numbers. If you've already put your name down, I've told them who you are (and they're STILL letting us come...) so if you call them and say you're with the "Briers" group, they'll relieve you of £25 per person. Also tell them if it's one or two nights - I think we're all down for the Friday and Saturday at the mo'.
Anyone else wants to come, great, more the merrier! But the later you leave it, the less chance of there being rooms left - and don't forget to tell me you're coming too, please
Hotel is the SHAP WELLS HOTEL, and the number is 01931 716628.
More info as I invent it...
