1) Yes, the GC requires that you have to rejoin.

2) Hotel offers will be published soon, but The Thistle, Days Inn, & The Red Lion (the last cheap & cheerful) are all close to hand.

3) The Sunday Comp will be open to non-blondes, but we hope to persuade Grosvenor Luton to run a nice comp on the Sunday evening.

There will be a quiz on the Sunday...details when we have it


Sunday night comps at Luton are biggies.. £100 and £250 freezes but there is a later small freezeout £20 or so too

Fri are £75 freezes.

At this stage I expect they would want to keep the normal schedule for those

I just booked my room for the weekend, said about GC rate but she said the woman hasnt been in yet to sign the contract yet (im assuming she meant woman from GC) but very helpful (slightly flirty) woman on the phone said she would put it on my booking for when she does come in. Still dirt cheap though!

Just to clarify the price it is normally £70 per night, when you use the Gcasino promo you get it for £60 per night B&B, not £60 for three nights

"certainly for when?"

"wow is something happenning that weekend?"

"yeah its a poker competition for muppets i think we have organised a special rate?"

If anyone wants i can probablly give some walking directions in how to walk there from the airport. Well i say walk it requires a small train journey too. Guessing they probablly run busses from the airport though.
