But, if that helps,what if we created a private Facebook group,just for this meet up and then you can have a idea of who you will meet.

if there is a facebook group, i'd like to join it.

EverybodyKnows · 13/01/2012 14:49

Brdgrl- will pm you

therantingBOM · 13/01/2012 15:52

I like the idea of booking our own hotels... if I'm having anight away from the drama I wanna go luxury [princess grin]

therantingBOM · 14/01/2012 20:56

Only 4 of us made it but I think this year we will be a bigger group

MJinBlack · 15/01/2012 09:27

If I can possibly make it I will be there, Im not in a position to book anything, if I have to i will kick someone out of their bed Ill bring my airbed and sleeping bag and sleep in with Everyone and Barf.

NotaDisneyMum · 15/01/2012 12:25

Facebook group? Smile

Not sure I can make a meet - it will involve ferries, buses, & trains and we have zero income at the mo!
Sounds like a fantastic night though - have a Wine for me Grin

Sorry I'm new to all this, but if this is some sort of get together and chinwag, I'd be really keen to meet people in a similarish situation and share advice. I'm in Wiltshire.

ladydeedy · 22/01/2012 12:07

I'd like to come too - is there a date in mind? Will be coming from Berkshire.

EverybodyKnows · 22/01/2012 19:50

So far we are thinking of going on 3rd of march.

MJinBlack · 22/01/2012 20:07

Can we pick a nice hotel - maybe slightly out and see if we can negotiate a group rate?? People could double (triple coz I'm on floor!!) up and sort out sharing if they so wish???

therantingBOM · 22/01/2012 20:13

Im in berks too lady Grin

We thought people could book their own accommodation and we will meet centrally for food and drinks....

MJ if you want to book same as me and BH thats fine...I've got to look up hotels this week.

MJinBlack · 22/01/2012 20:29

Ah - I will be with you 2 - but then you knew thAt :)

Lala1980 · 23/01/2012 14:19

Am I too new to potentially join this road trip? Would love to meet some people in a similar boat, have a few bevvies, and share notes x

EverybodyKnows · 23/01/2012 15:45

Nobody is too new Lala - It's open to all SP who would like to meet people in similar family setups and -then get pissed with them have a laugh.

I will be back later with suggestions for places where we can meet for drinks and food.

ladydeedy · 23/01/2012 16:52

Think I will most likely get the train and therefore need to stay somewhere fairly central. Anyone got any recommendations? will take a look now anyway... Where are we likely to meet for a nosebag?

EverybodyKnows · 23/01/2012 16:59

It will be somewhere central. Last time we stayed near the train station - we walked to Carluccios and then to a nice pub for bevvies. I will be looking up hotels and put a few ideas later.

ladydeedy · 23/01/2012 17:04

Mint hotel looks good and is a good price - have stayed at the one in London and it was great. Let me know if any one else is interested in staying there... (Equally, premier inn has fantastic reviews on tripadvisor..)

MJinBlack · 23/01/2012 18:05

Im in

EverybodyKnows · 24/01/2012 15:36

Had a look at Mint Hotel and thought it was a bit far from centre. The Britannia has great deals and is a short walk from the station so I have booked there.

Now for the food and drinks...

glitzy · 25/01/2012 13:47

Hiya... was there last year, and would love to do it again Grin. I was quiet last time, but who knows, might make a bit more noise this time

MJinBlack · 25/01/2012 13:56

Hello stranger - be good to see you again - we are in Britannia - dodgy but cheap as chips and it's just a bed
