The Future Inn is absolutely superb Ralph, & is exactly 100 yards from the Casino. Just park the car & leave it for rhe weekend, perfect.

There is an ETAP nearby, I believe.

I'd rather be fairly comfy, I'm no snob but I'd rather have a chance of some sleep over the weekend.  Any ideas on the Future Inn?

I could google I suppose, but blonde is much more user friendly :)

It's ok if you just want a bed for the night, but a tip for those of you who do book there... Take elbow pads!

Have put our names down in the acceptances' thread, providing I am allowed back into Wales after the "Haver ford West" incident.....

However, like to point out how right I was regarding the dates, so will be checking with my Surgeon regarding if I will be able to attend.

Do I get a prize for getting the correct dates ?

It was only selected because we thought you couldn't attend.  Do you know how hard it was to find somewhere for that date?  We had to go to another country!

Sean,

if you manage to negotiate something could you please ask them if those of us who have already booked will be able to request to have our bookings changed to the agreed rate without having to go through the hassle of cancelling and rebooking?

thanks

Tell him he doesn't have to behave himself and you might persuade him.

If he still says no, offer it to Sark.

Be quick though - the cheap tickets go fast - then you're talking at least £50.

Smoking and non smoking rooms still available at Future Inn (although there's a prob with their system at the moment - rates are showing at £135 prpn - should be £75).  Waiting for call back to get booked in at usual rate.

No doubt a big bouquet will be ordered?  ;D

Shame you won't be able to make it.  You will both have to be there next time.  Tis debatable as to whether we can come too, unfortunately, as the Beard has a prior arrangement... with a surgeon (sounds like the start of a new thread, lol)
