It's in the middle of the country (ish) and will always be similarly placed I'm sure (has been for the past 9yrs)

Or get there early with your wife, she spends the afternoon in the spa, and you spend the afternoon in the bar

hmmm ... don't give the Mrs ideas! (if I dragged her into the bar with me it would be much much cheaper!)

Yeah - very nice place it is too. I want to say it's something like £100-£120 for the night, and depending on if you bring your wife or not you can either get there early and spend the day in the spa, or get there early and spend the day in the bar. Most do the latter

And some of us appreciate that Black Tie & Pie is so good that it actually starts on Friday

I'm sure you wore one one year Tony, but the mists of time are rather heavy and I could be mistaken, so I'm not going to mention it
