Title: Alton Towers
Post by: bobbarley on 19 October 2010, 17:16
Off the back of Nicks thread, Alton towers is shutting in a few weeks, so probably not worth considering this year.  HOWEVER, who would be interested in going next year once it's re-opened?  Could get a discount for mass booking I'm positive.  If you like Theme Parks give a shout out and I'll make a list.  Then sort out dates next year, although provisionally might look at March.

Post by: dom on 20 October 2010, 22:06
I could also be up for this depending when it is! I've also been with mates a few times since leaving school, we've always camped at a campsite a couple of miles down the road the night before - get in the park nice and early  :cool:

I think if you do a group booking then you will have to pay in advance?
It might not be a bad idea to get money first as then people are more committed to going. I've done many meets in the past and it's so annoying when people don't turn up!
Title: Re: Alton Towers
Post by: N900 MJT on 25 October 2010, 11:19
I would be interested in this - just let me know what date!
Title: Re: Alton Towers
Post by: bobbarley on 25 October 2010, 18:27
If we get a group of 10 or more people then the ticket price is reduced from £38 to just £19!!!  In light of this I'll definitely be getting cash up front and bulk ordering to save us a fortune!

Post by: SoundillusioN on 25 October 2010, 20:12
Like the sound of this... i'm up for it, we'll all have to agree on a rough date first to see whens good then make a solid date... you never know, the old girl might be rolling then!  :lipsrsealed:
