Sorry to say folks that due to life throwing a spanner in the works, this looks to be cancelled.
:(
I'm looking at a Friday night arrival and a Sunday afternoon departure, so once we know which weekend I'll make a start at emailing places.
Depending where we end up meeting I'll be aiming for the closest Holiday Inn/Travel Lodge to there.
If you'd like to do similar, I'll email and see if they'd do a discount on multiple rooms.
Might even find somewhere that does digs and functions in the one place.
In years gone by Madders made a decent fist of organising a Festive Frolic down in the Forest of Dean, a splendid wee weekend of talking pish, drinking ale, munching turkey and generally having a Winter Feast.
It really was a rather splendid, if lightly attended, shindig.
Being in the middle of nowhere didn't help, so it fizzled out.
My thinking is that Manchester, albeit not everyone's destination of choice, does sit rather nicely in the middle of the country and has pretty decent transport links, not to mention a shed load of discount hotels.
:thumbup
Soooooo, would there be much interest in a wee Saturday night Festive Feast in Scumchester around the 7th or 14th December?
Cheeky wee hotel booking for the Saturday night (I'd hazard that I'd be doing similar for the Friday night), an evening of excess, mayhap some dancing followed by a bleary wee journey home on the Sunday.
Figure if there is enough interest by the start of October we could arrange something decent, I'll happily take on the role of sorting a list of venues and the like if folks show enough interest.
Hopefully even manage a wee discount if there are enough bodies looking to book too...
What do you all think?

As long as I'm not made to ride a bike there and back in the snow (Like Ozpom did one year) I may make the journey!
-

-
somewhere with good/secure bike parking would be advantageous too mate.

-
Interested and not bothered where or when.
Probs be not working:-( and skint :-(

-
I better start storing up the brownie points but reckon I'm in if I can get a pass from swmbo.

BigRalphie doesn't know yet but he's picking me up and taking me there so I'll get him to swing by the airport and pick you up. :lol
-
I,m going on the train ,so unless I do a Pelham 123 it aint happening :lol
-
I may be interested in attending this event, seeing as how I'm only 10 miles from Manc and therefore have no excuse for not turning up :lol
But I absolutely refuse to involve myself in any event that might involve a trip to Canal Street, some think its a 'cool' thing to do, but I just think its weird :eek
-
:'( :'( :'(
Can't see me making this, wrong time of the year for me.
Hope you lot have a great time tho, bastards ;)
-
Sounds fun - I haven't managed to get to a proper foc-u shindig for years!!!
-
voted 7th but can do either, text message pigeon me address for the tenner, bit far away these days to drop it round your place :-(
better start casing up targets and sorting out fences :2guns so I have some beer tokens for whichever date :D
-
voted 14th, but like raz, can do either...
-
I can do either and can stay with a mate in Manc so won't need digs
-
Deposits please folks!
Thus far it's Raz and myself, now granted that would be a splendid weekend, but I reckon the auld fella would appreciate seeing some other bodies there too.
PM me and I can send you either my bank details or home address.
:thumbup
-

-

Hi Andy, if 7th is confirmed then I'm definitely in, will send a deposit over to you mate.
Paul, are you still thinking of flying?
-
If I ever get an internet connection that doesn't take 2 days to load a page I'll start looking for digs, anybody booked any yet?

Not yet Raz, waiting until payday on Friday to sort mine.
I'm doing Friday and Saturday nights, what about yoursen?
I'm happy to book a couple of rooms for both nights if you want, you can square me up on the weekend?
-
Sounds good for both nights Andy, will square you up before the weekend, might also send you some beer tokens to hold for me, so that I don't go and spend them on something stupid like rent or food ;-/
