The next blonde Bash: 29th-30th May DTD

[KarmaDope]

I always thought that we stayed at CM last time because DTD had a special "hotel rate". Do they have this again, and if not, why don't we look for the cheapest and stay there instead? (Taking into account costs of getting back from DTD/location etc.)

Because it will be the worst?

Within reason, obv. Would much rather pay to stay in a hotel like Holiday Inn, Premier Inn etc than some guesthouse in the middle of nowhere. I meant something like if the HI in city centre is cheaper than CM then why not stay there?

Or we could just all crash at yours Matt

I've only got 4 double bedrooms so it's a bit of a squeeze what with me and the dog.

Also there's only enough space on my drive for about 4 cars so parking would be a nightmare.

Erm......

There's only 2 bathrooms as well and I wouldn't want you all to have to share.

Castle Marina or the express in town?

castle marina is where everyone will be

^ This ^

Bah! Was hoping it would be a city centre one for a late night kebab...

Any deals around for the CM HI?

Lol

I would have thought the City Centre one would make more sense all round.
No problems getting a McDonalds then!

I have noticed a trend that the hotel 'everyone' tends to stay at for blonde bashes is not necessarily the cheapest, or the best value, or the best location - but it's the one 'everyone' is staying at so they book there.

Just checked on the HI website and CM is cheaper by about £2.95 per night.

PI is cheaper by £20 on Fri and Sun Night but £7 more on the Saturday!!!!!

[Bongo]

CM or TC?

[Delboy]

CM

I am planning satellites for next month

These would be for a c£200 weekend package, including entry into the Saturday comp


Feedback please. Satellites for a weekend including expenses or just for a blonde bash tournament?


Advance notice...entry to the blonde bash will be online only via a DTD online comp holding pool

[KarmaDope]

Can we DBI or will it be all sats?

If DBI, then sats for full package; if all sats, then both plz.

Maybe have sats at £22 for full package, and have some £4.40 supers into those, see if they run for the small ballas out there

Direct buys Ins too


Thinking 20 freezeouts and 10 rebuys for a package

[KarmaDope]

Definitely full package sats then, will Blonde/DTD be booking the hotel themselves or will we have to withdraw and book? If booking, will we be able to find out beforehand what hotel?

20 freeze and 10rb seem perfect. Again, I would try and run the odd 1 in 5 to the 20 freeze but that's just me lol, am sure most people would be happy to pay the 20 direct.

Castle Marina Hol Inn, whether we get a deal or not,that's where we'll aim

[lazaroonie]

always quite liked the park inn. rooms are quite small but adequate for about 40 quid

[rudders]

cant wait for this- park plaza is v good. good value if you hunt for online deals too.

The one on Maid Marrion way? I stayed there once, although the rooms were big i pretty much remember it being shit.

Indoor golf just around the corner though...

Last twice i stayed service was excellent- rooms big and clean- got deal for 50 quid per night for twin- really handy for city centre if needed. needed my own wifi though. golf is handy too
