APUG UK Spring 2007 Gathering

[Bob F.]

I should be able to make it if I don't have other commitments as I just passed my driving test this afternoon (3rd attempt in 3 years).

Yes, well done <he said smugly, having passed it the first time>. Mind you, I did nearly run over the man walking in front waving the red flag a couple of times...

Do you know which dates can you do?

Cheers, Bob.

Not sure yet, but I suspect April might be better.

Having missed the last one, I'm watching with a view to trying to fit in with the final choice this time- keep me in mind, please!

[Bob F.]

Unfortunately, Sean has disabled formatting in posts so I've attached the matrix of dates so far. At the mo, it's looking like April 20-22 with April 27-29 in second place.

Cheers, Bob.

For my own part (and you should obviously place the needs of existing regular APUG-ers before me) I am currently OK for 30/03 & 20/04 only, from the file you attached.

Nice one, Tom! (I was a "third time lucky" too, not that that's much of an advert for it...!)

I would like to vote for the w/e of 20-22 April too.

If this ends up as the favoured date - please count me in.

Thanks

Yes, so far as I can see, the 20/22nd April would be fine, if a newcomer may join in? pyrometol

[Leon]

out of all the dates, the 20-22 of april would suit me best too.

[Bob F.]

Looks like we have a winner. Everyone who has posted can do 20-22nd April with only the following weekend coming close.

Now to sort out some accommodation.... Like others, I have been browsing and I have found a dearth of 3 and 4-Star places of suitable size and price range (say 50 beer tokens or so per person per night). I think you are taking a bit of a gamble with under 3-Stars and most places large enough and not too expensive that I have found are in the 2-Star range.

So far the best I have come across is in fact the one that Barry found right at the start: Pencraig Court (http://herefordshire.staysoon.co.uk/accommodation.cfm?i=3114) ... It has good reviews. May potentially be a little small, but people tend to drop out as the dates get closer due to other commitments. At some point soon we will need to decide on the location to have some hope of grabbing the whole joint (or at least, enough of it) for ourselves, wherever we decide on.

Cheers, Bob.
