Another BBWF 09 Option

[carob]

Righty oh chaps and chapesess

Earlier today sent a mail to these people


www.devere-hotels.com

They have been very encourageing to talk to indeed.

The hotel is the Herons Reach in Blackpool and seems to tick all the boxes so far.

I gave them a run down of past events and they seemed fine with it, the guy i was speaking to said he would even be looking forward to the loudest wedge competion!!!

They have spoken very openly and have told me that in the past they have held similar events and by the sounds of it people have stayed there who were involved in the Home Coming Events.

They spoke of a 500 space car park that could be cordened off for us , they where fine with Rolling Road Shoot out, Vendor Stalls and giving us use of a funtion room for the evening.

Food for the evening could be a sit down slap up or a BBQ or a Hog Roast like last year.

The events guy Tony is going to go over some numbers the weekend and give me a buzz on Monday.

Sunday could include that run down the Golden Mile for them once in a lifetime Photographs.

What do you reckon?

When i spoke them earlier today i mentioned that over the years Ettington had gave us a good deal at around £60 to £65 per room b&b and they were not fazed so watch this space.

Sounds like a good venue Rob, lets see what rates they want to charge us and if the poll stays the way it is, then it could be a great option.

Dinner party guys!!!

Just spent an effing fortune on a new kitchen and the missus has invited half of the north east to view it.

The dish washer has just put a sick note in.

Same dates hopefully so as not to change things to much.

True to form there were some wedges there but of the spicey variety.

My boy is really looking forward to the BBWF he has always wanted to go to Blackpool with a load of wedges.

If either of these doesn't come off Rob then we will run our own
"Back Home" and have our rumble down the seafront sometime over the Summer.

By the way, are you doing the Cobweb run on March 1st from Scotch Corner?

All being well i will be there Rich.

If the BBWF does not take place over Blackpool i am sure something could be arranged in the future.

Had some feed back from Herons Reach this morning and it sounds like this could be a goer.

Myself and Chedder are going to meet up with them on Wednesday to look at they facilities and get the confirmed methods of booking.

Hopefully there will be a BBWF at the home of TVR.

We will keep you posted.
