Right, the poll is now closed for the Next Newark meeting, the meeting will be held on Sunday August 21st at the Halfway house Newark.
The meeting this time will have a slight twist, I am organising a night out the night prior to the meeting, the venue has yet to be decided but will more than likely be Lincoln, due to it being close by to Newark and it having a good nightlife etc.
LEN405 has been looking into accomadation for the evening for people who like myself will be travelling a good distance to the event.
Let me know if you are up for either the whole thing, or even if you are just up for the meet itself
There are already a few members that are up for the event which I will post names for later this evening.
Cheers Paul
Right people confirmed for the night out are as follows
Me & carrie
Rich
Toph
GTI89
Gibby
Len
Piggy
JV
S11eps
VDUB007
SlammedCorrado
Golfgal + Brad
Slick

-
done
-
Will be up for it, unfortunately the pooch will no longer be able to come along if we are going out the night before.
:smiley:
-
added :grin:
-
Newark needs to be nearer South Wales me thinks :angry:
Enjoy your meet folks, good punch of people going looking at the list :cool: :wink:
-
hmmm, pending on wether ive been shot, or in jail in latvia (2 weeks before! lol) ill deffo be coming to the meet, but then saying that lincoln rocks, havent been out there since last year so yeah may have a night on it as well, where's the accomodation lens looking at?? if its too expensive ill get a taxi home like!!
Gaz :grin:
-
Accommadation is still being looked into, but you shud try and get to the night out gaz, hotel in lincoln be surely cheaper than a taxi back home!
Be a good night i reckong :grin:
-
yeah i might look into it me self, travel lodge or something, cause if a night in lincoln is on the cards im sure a few of me aircooled posse will be up for it :grin:
-
On a side note, there has been a problem with people smashing into cars around lincoln recently, now if it will have stopped by then or not, well your guess is as good as mine.
Just to let you know.
Ibis Lincoln is on the A46 ring road, takes about 15 mins into town from there. There is also a hotel in the pride of Lincoln pub, and there are a few B&Bs around them too. ALthough lowest price you are looking at is about £40 per night.
-
£40 will do me, either way i should be there for both day and night, not really bothered about the car smashing thing, if i hotel it it will be out of town so hopefully avoid alll that, even if it happens im insured and they prob do me a favour as fed up to fook with the mk4 at the mo...... lol
:laugh:
-
Looks like Slick has done me job for me! Cheers mate! :wink:
I was looking at small B&B's but as there are a few going we wouldnt all get in one place.
So the Ibis sounds the right place. They usually do good weekend night deals.
Might be worth talking to them about a block booking, but usually their prices are fixed.
Just need to confirm numbers!
-
yes I agree len we need to sort out very soon a definate number for stopping over. Then we can get the accomadation secured.
-
This it now - do we try for a block booking which means one credit card and collect deposits ----
Or do we just say This Hotel and everyone make their own booking???
Its not Bank Holiday so shouldnt be booked fully but need to start soon.
-
i think 'this hotel, and every 1 for there own bookings' laying down deposits etc is ok but if peeps back out etc and dont tell well in advance etc then the credit card holder stumps the bill and has to chase the cash!!, like i said earlier if for any reason i cant hotel it ill still come and and taxi it home :cool:

Couldn't agree more.
Peeps pull out last minute for all different reasons so it wouldn't be fair for someone to fork out and have the hassle of trying to get the money from everyone.
All for one and sod the rest of ya! :laugh:
-
Right thats it then!
Either Ibis or Travel INN whatever Whichever is easiest/nearest pubs/nightlife etc.
Or cheapest - my guess would be the Ibis.
-
Shall we both look into it len , and keep each other posted over weekend?
-
well, i think the travel odge is cheaper but further out of town, so i guess the twist is dearer and closer or further and cheaper......
:laugh:
-
trust me on this they are all the same price. No matter where you go or what you stay in.
Remember i have a misses that lives there.
:wink:
-
Yes Paul. Two heads etc.
Compare notes
-
hey Slick how big is her house????
:wink:
-
lol, not anywhere near that size mate. :laugh:
-
Think i remember hearing about 6 kids so wondered if it was bi enough! :wink: :grin:
Nah like a bit of comfort at my time of life, so kippin on floors aint good!
-
well ive just rung a taxi firm in louth that i can get discount with and i can get a cag to run me home for £20 from my choice of pickup, so i may get the mrs to run me there and get taxi'd home then drive to newark in the morn.... but we'lll see..... the thought of laying in bed till 11.00 then going to newark appeals more than setting off early....
:laugh:
-
Damn! thats the festival weekend!
il be down in me tent smellin of roses that particular day!
-
IBIS - £45.00
Premier Travel Inn - £49.95
Havent spoken to them coz thats off the internet booking!
-
BTW - if you want a friggin massive bed and a massive brekky, then book into DAMONS, its based on an american motel, and the beds are big enough for me to starfish on (i am 6'5") with room to move.
The breakfast is a massive multi course artery blocking feast.
Think i might book in there.
:cool: :cool:
(price is £50 per night)
-
Damn it.......I'm on shift 20th and 21st August :angry:
I'll try and book leave :undecided:
-
Damn it.......I'm on shift 20th and 21st August :angry:
I'll try and book leave :undecided:
I'm getting a bit tight for remaining leave.........had to book leave for every show this year :angry: I'm also working the night of the 19th :angry: What time are you planning on meeting up on the 20th? I'm hoping it won't be too early as I don't really want to have to book the 19th off too :undecided: Ah bollox, maybe I will and then I can drive up on the 19th and stay at my parents in Chesterfield :undecided:
-
I wont be there till at least mid afternoon, as it will take me approx 3 hours to get the lincoln / newark, so I reckon we should aim for meeting up at around 3 - 4pm ish.
Would it be an idea to make this topic a sticky in this section ? To get maximum exposure

-
I meant i will be there for about 3 - 4 for the saturday. Plenty of time to get settled into hotel before hitting lincoln :grin:
-
:smiley:
-
Well our IBIS does a weekend rate of £34.95 - so think we need to do some blagging!

Misses lives down the road, and if the worst happens, hey its a night out and i am in a hotel..... humm the mind begins to boggle.
-
i'll be there put me down cheers
-
Have added you to the list rob :grin:
-
Lost count now! So how many of us are actually staying the night in Lincoln????
Or is the list at the start up to date?
-
I think the list at the top is up to date len, was thinking about doing seperate threads, one for the night out and one for the meeting at the halfway house, as not everyone will be going on the night out!
-
Well it dont really matter as we are making our own hotel arrangements. Would be nice for us all to stay in same place but thats just me being sentimental. :huh: :rolleyes: :laugh:
Yes could get confusing between those attending the meet and those doing the mad night out!
Will get phone numbers of the hotels and post them.
And if Slick wants to put that DAMONS place up as well.
-
If you want to create a thread for hotel numbers etc in the lincolnshire show board I will sticky it so it will stay at the top of the board.
I will create the a thread for just attending the meeting, and leave the existing ones for the night out / meet.
I also think it would be better if we all stayed in the same hotel, but thats something that we can look into when we have lists of all hotels and prices etc.
-
O.K. mate will do that!
Will try and do that by 2moro as after that i am off to RUN TO THE SUN!!!
Even tho i am sick and on antibiotics!!!
Hence why i am logged in at home!
-
Hope you get better for RTTS mate, wish i was going tho!
-
Ah thats better! just had a nice fry-up!
Bloody antibiotics always make me hungry!
Yes i'm still going to RTTS - might not be able to drink first 2 days.......... :shocked:
-
not going RTTS.. but am going to Croyde around 10th june for a mates 30th.. the week after that in the same place is the "gold coast oceanfest" .. not sure if will drive back down there again the following w/e.. might cadge a lift this time if poss and get wasted since i think i drove home a lil close to the limit last time.. damn thing sponsored by corona.. mucho cheap beer!
-
ill be comin down with my m8 we will go on the night out probs
gonna be knackered though as im goin to tennerif ein august and im
comin back on the 19th lol
-
Count me in,as i live in newark i can't really see what reason i would have for not going.
A wise choice to go out in Lincoln rather than newark as there are less Pikey Scum about with the intent on ruining your night out!
see you there
Daz
-
are you up for the meet or the night out aswell?
-
Probably just the meet-i think,sorry about the delayed reply mate
-
has any one got some hotels sorted where were going to stay for the night out?, i know there`s a lot of shows in between but i like to get things booked :wink:
-
I think most people will be staying at the IBIS, I will speak to len405 later and get the number for it and pm it to everyone who is going on the night out.

Right the hotels website address is www.ibishotel.com/ibis/fichehotel/gb/ibi/3161/fiche_hotel.shtml (http://www.ibishotel.com/ibis/fichehotel/gb/ibi/3161/fiche_hotel.shtml)
Phone number is 01522 698333
Price per room, not per person is £44.95 a night
Right, rooms need to be booked by the end of this month, phone number is above, thye dont do a block discount, so I would suggest we all get our rooms booked and report back on the forum once we have booked, I will pm everyone later, which is going to be a long task
-
Not long now :cool:
-
Are we there yet?
:laugh:
-
not quiete son :grin:
-

-
In the shows section matey
