E-mail sent! Am I to believe that a list of Hotels has also been sorted.

[Kirkie]

Thats very reasonably priced.

Anyone in the South East who's intending to go fancy car pooling (ie giving me a lift and splitting the cost ). I dont drive and have been checking out the public transport links and it's a bit of a nightmare to arrive on time, especially on the Sunday.

Incidentally, the Harlow travelodge has rooms for £15 per night on these dates if anyone from further afield is planning on coming along and staying over. Cheap and cheerful.Another option but I'd still need cabs to the venue.

[Box girl]

If you choose to stay over we will and would be more than happy to give you a lift if we have space and I am sure many others would as well.

Thanks. I'm trying to work something out.

Got my booking confirmation through this evening.

Obviously, I am attending and will no doubt be driving. The decision whether to go Friday night, or early Saturday morning is still a decision I have got to make.
pm if this helps?

[Box girl]

Is there no meet on Friday night then? Can you let us know which hotel most will choose so we can all meet. We were looking at coming up on the Friday but if nothing happening will come up Sat morning as will be easier probably. Can offer lifts from hotels etc to the venue for those who need it.
