Alton Towers Meet - what date??

[Bushboy]

Ok,

June won the vote for the month of the meet. now we just need to choose the weekend and whether its to be saturday or sunday!

Remember, this is the day of actually visiting the park so those wanting to stay over will have to either come up on the friday night or saturday night. but those with quite a distance to go home might prefer a sat so they can have a rest on sunday before going back to work. but those that work saturdays will want sundays so.. vote what you want.. im personaly voting sunday.

If you want to suggest another day then say so, but weekends are probably going to be more suitable for most people.

Anyway, choose one!

because the votes will be all over the place, To work this out ill basicly look at the most popular weekend chosen and that will be the weekend.. then will take the average for all of the saturdays chosen and then all of the sundays and see which was the mos popular. this will hopefully give the day which will be most accessable to most people

right.. im off to get my hair cut

I dont have a preference.... I dont work weekends so it isnt a problem.

 

[Bushboy]

ahh... hmm.. could you edit the poll (no idea how to do it myself) and add 2 options for just "no date preference but defo Saturday" and the same for sunday.

cheers samms

Tis done

Rob and i can do either the 17 or 18th. We will properly come down on the sat and stay over (if 18th wins). Rob is off work on the Monday 19th but I'm not Rob can drive home so i can get some rest ready for work the next day.

i've no preference at the moment. but come June i'm not sure where i'll be - so it might change.

 

[Bunny]

Right, i've just rang up Alton Towers to get there hotel costs. For Rob, i and James its £200 for friday night and all day pass on the Saturday to the park compared to £315 if we stay on the Saturday night

 

[Bushboy]

... well.. simple solution.. dont stay at the AT hotel.. there are tones and tones of B&Bs in the local area.

The Uttoxeter Travelodge is an obvious cheap stay anyway. got a little chef on site too .. otherwise get on yell.com

 

[Bunny]

I've found a travel inn about 15miles away that has rooms for the weekend that we are free

 

[Gary]

Any weekend is fine with me

 

[froggie 666]

Any saturday is good for me , but will try and make this one regardless

 

[Tommy K]

just been having a look around... if you were to make it.. saturday the 24th, there are £10 rooms available on the 23rd at Newcastle Road, Talke, stoke.

according to the search, its 16.2miles away, but its more like 22miles.

just a thought if some1 is comming from way up north


web link to the booking form is...

If we could hurry up with a date we could try and book in the same hotel/B&B

Hellcat and i can't make it on the 24th

 

[Bushboy]

I cant make the weekend of the 24th neither.

I;m still suggesting hotels/b&bs in cheadle as thats the meeting point so makes sence.. also its a proper town, talke isnt. its pretty small PLUS its a good 45mins from alton towers.. might not sound much in miles but trust me, its on the other side of hanley and so isnt the easiest route to take.. cheadle has loads of pubs

Thats a good map.. shows the LOCAL area uttoxeter, cheadle, ashbourne etc. Alton Towers is slap bang in the middle of Cheadle and ashbourne. Or more specificaly, Alton/Farley which are on the map.
