im in and will bring a few qq members along , im essex/london but happy to travel upto 100 miles

 

Me too, it would be nice to travel less than 200 miles as previous trips have been quite far

Maybe we could them Z owners to come aswell. Mind you that would be weather dependant as I dont think they are too good with slippery stuff

 

, Paul will disagree there or will he ?

 

Got a Christmas do on the 7th, but sounds like a plan. If you want mids I know a couple of good places, where we've had Xmas do's through hubby's work. Depends how expensive you want to go.

Sounds great were up for it.

 

one thought as in the Summer last year when we met up we booked a best western and the bar was open until we finished which was at 0300 as I recall. So that discounts the premier inn i think as their bars are attached pubs that will close around 11.pm

 

11 is to early so I agree with you has to be hotel

 

I know its only Sept but if people really want to have a christmas get together it needs to be sorted fairly soon so we can get it booked before no rooms are available.

 

i'd be up for that .... Tamworth is about 10 miles from me

 

I agree, the earlier the better from an arranging point of view

 

I ve down a quick search of Best western hotels in the Tamworth area(none in Tamworth)I picked best western as this is what we stayed in last year and the bar was open til we finished which we would need to confirm before we select or book onehere is a link to map showing those in this areahttp://www.bestwestern.co.uk/Search/Search-Results.aspx#MapThis isnt an ideal location for me as its 180 miles mut it is central England and to me is about the best location. I would prefer Tamworth from a selfish point of view as I can get their by train leave the kids with the outlaws and walk to a hotel so any further afield I will need a lift If we want to do this we will need to book soon and set a date otherwise nothing will be availableI reckon the 1st December is a good date it is also a Saturday

We are pretty booked up but it would be great if we could make it. I have another one the week before so I might not be on top form!

 

A whole week after .......sounds like a lightweight

Hmmm yes I remember Paul was quite partial to a pint of beer at 11am while we were in the alps, as it would have been rude not to......

 

Paul- you have restored my faith, with me being patial to a pint or two, purely medicinal of course, and looking at Kats comment I can see you are a gentleman as well. I agree that to miss the 11am pint would be poor form.

 

 

found this place its bar is open until 2 amhttp://www.castlehoteltamworth.co.uk/index.phpbest western ones I have looked at either have a posh restaurant(ala carte)or the bar closes at 11 unless we go to peterborough trouble then is I will have to bring the kidsmrs d fancies the tamworth castle as this is where we stayed the night we got married before jetting off to the caribbean

 

Looks good to me

Might be a do'able one for us. In laws are en route and the brother in law lives on the outskirts. Baby sitters possible.

 

Looks very doable
