HOTEL BOOKING
Rates have now been agreed with the hotel are £75 per room per night, double/twin B&B and £65 per room per night single B&B for stays of 2 nights. One night stays are £85 double occupancy and £75 single occupancy per room on a B&B basis.
We have 61 standard room and 9 upgraded rooms – upgraded rooms are in the old Victorian house and are £115 pppn for a deluxe room and £135 pppn in a junior suite (both based on double occupancy for 2 nights).
Rooms will be released to the general public on the 23rd May 2014.
To book please call 01789 740000 option 2 then option 1, quoting "Griff Growl". Please ensure you get a booking reference. You are only RESERVING a room and not having to pay until check out so book early – you have been told. DO NOT book via the hotel web site or other booking web site as you will not get the special rates quoted above.
If anyone has to cancel please can you let me know as I can probably get the room reallocated. Any problems please let me know and I'll sort them.
FRIDAY NIGHT
The curry will again be at Chutneys in Stratford-upon-Avon as the food is top notch. The cost will be £20 which includes poppadoms, mixed starters, any main, and nan or rice and the return coach journey from the hotel. Drink is extra i'm afraid. We'll contact you nearer the time to pre-order the first drink to speed up the serving. Places are limited so please book early as this is extremely popular as anyone who has previously attended will tell you.
Coach will depart the White Horse at 19:00 prompt (so be in the pub at 18:30 to ensure you're there as you'll be buying the first round if not) and will return about 22:30 back to the White Horse which will stay open for us so we can sink a few night caps (please make sure I don't have too many). Payment in advance to secure your place(s) as we have to pay the coach up front. To book please contact Paul Bennett (FFG) at paul.bennett@cevalogistics.com
BBQ - SATURDAY NIGHT
Back to the spiritual home - The White Horse. The BBQ will be £10 a head to include food and possibly some entertainment (but not angry jock this year), and will be payable in advance on a first come first served basis as places are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment. Please contact Paul Bennett (paul.bennett@cevalogistics.com) to book.
BOOKING DEADLINE = 27th JUNE as I have to pay in advance.
ROLLING ROAD
North London Dyno (ex Crazy Horses) will be running the rolling road again on Saturday and Sunday. Prices are £40 a pop (the first increase for about 7 years) with 3 graphs. Slots are 20 minutes between 8.30 and 5 on Saturday and 8.30 and 3 on Sunday. Payment direct to Gary/Baz on the day. You'll need to pre-book a timeslot with FFG (paul.bennett@cevalogistics.com).
