Brands Hatch (Indy) - Thursday 2nd July

[Spiderman]

Cazz, thanks for doin all this research first of all.

For me the difference in price between the on site and other options equates to about a tank of fuel.

I'm happy to go with the majority vote on this tho.

Make that two fence sitters.

How about option 1 for £37.50pp?

You wont need to worry about transferring funds as we can pay individually on arrival - so long as no one stitches you up and does a no show!


EDIT: No breakfasts though.... sorry didnt read it properly so its only £42.50pp

Thanks for finding that one Grant. Yes, with breakfast, it works out as only £5 less than dealing with the hotel direct... But I reckon I could get the hotel to price match that offer if I deal with them direct as a 'group' booking.

Zig - I understand what you're saying about the difference of 'a tank of fuel'. I like the idea of value for money... but I also like the idea of everyone being in the same place for post-dinner drinks and brekky . So I too, will remain on the fence for the time being.

Mind you, some of the reviews on the website Grant pointed to aren't very favourable http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/this...r_month=2009-7

(sorry - I don't know how to do that 'click here' type web link thingy on this forum)

But then again, country pub B&Bs can also be a bit disappointing, as we know! Oh.... I don't know. Can someone else decide please?!

Other people's thoughts...?

I'm flexible and will go along with what everyone decides though I'd rather avoid paying £50+ for a B&B room since I'm a poor student. I'd be willing to go in a twin to save £££ or to make arrangements easier if required.

I can swap.

Raf - my littler brother left a spare set in my shed. He is thinner than I am so may fit you although he is just as tall. You can borrow them if you wish. I am saving them for when I lose 20kg....

When i used to have to travel with my work colleagues we used to saty in Travel-lodges al the time. tehre would be about 20-25 peeps in total and we'd have up to 6 in a double room at times to save money, lol. Those were the days, booking ground floor rooms so we could climb in thru windows and the like. I person showing up to book i with 5 assorted bits of luggage, pmsl.

Well, pending there being a space left once the HUGE overpayment to Southern Electric is returned to my bank account, Soulkiss WILL be coming to the Ball

In Novices.
