You can count me in for the midlands meet.I only live in cov so it would b rude not to really.Are we all staying in one hotel or do you just turn up at a designated place? and whats all this about nothing to do in brum? theres that new HUSTERS shop to check out....................

 

[Stu DemonD]

Gadge,

the usual thing is that we tend to have a designated meeting point, say 2pm til 3pm at a bar somewhere! We all have each others mobiles, just in case any late comers!

For hotels, probably best to book individually, unless we can arrange a group discount at that Britannia - the Ibis does seem good value though, and near to centre.

 

[dawn_of_time]

Exactly! Stanny Hall can be our July meet I'm sure my sources tell me it's 17th July. I'll check up on that though

YEAH 3 days after my B/day i think thats a damn good idea sie :slayer:

I always stay in the Travelodge or the Jurys Inn... both on Broad Street and about £45 a room. THe Jurys inn has the advantage of doing Twin Double Rooms (I can't see whats theyd be used for) which means instead of 2 sharers getting a single each, you get a nice big double

Did prefer Travelodge overall though, plus it has the NCP (£5 a day) car park right opposite, whereas the Jurys is about 2 minute walk

 

[surfin_fella]

sounds good to me

 

[gaz.d]

you give me the details and a link, i be there

 

[surfin_fella]

i've just realised. Butlins cost us (in the ghetto) £39 for 3 nights!

 

[GhostWKD]

lmao and for a bit extra you could've got a microwave

 

[gaz.d]

i paid £30 for 3 nights in my room

*we got 6 beds, we got 6 beds*

 

[surfin_fella]

<sniffles> but Ghost, your toaster was **** (didn't try the microwave). We slummed it out in the ghetto. I say "slummed", i spent most of the weekend in Silver

Gaz, you awful man. you shoule be ashamed

 

[gaz.d]

hehe, i really am ashamed, i still dont know how i got it at that price

 

[surfin_fella]

it's because you promised them some work for their overpayed security!

 

[dave]

i paid just under £150 iirc for silver 3 bedrooms , had 5 people and baby some nights, thats value for money

 

[surfin_fella]

ah well, we have a few dumped cars outside our chalet to entertain us. so we were happy

 

[gaz.d]

it's because you promised them some work for their overpayed security!

security was silly, i still wanna know why his mate waited downstairs

 

[surfin_fella]

it's because he heard "mase, ya mother ****er. get teh **** outta bed" and thought he best wait there. keep the Punto van safe!

Excellent - never stayed overnight in Brum, so will go with your expertise - I only suggested Ibis coz I know they are generally good value.

But if a group book might get a discount better somewhere else? Anyway, here are the links:

For people that don't know, Broadstreet is the main bar/club street with everything you might need on it. Proper pikey when you go home as everyone is about Worx is opposite Nandos up one end (about 4 minutes walk) with about 10/15 bars/clubs in between.

Worx on a saturday night has 3 rooms - 1 = Mainstream (dance -> trance -> ending r&b) room 2 = cheese and room 3 is r&b and hip hop allnight (and right up the top, you look over everything! SUGOI!)
