Sorry for the delay in sorting some accomodation guys but after having to fly out to Tenerife unexpectedly I have had very little time to sort anything out. I came back at the end of last week but i am still very anxious about the situation out there and have a million and one things to do here, so my visits on here over the next couple of weeks leading up to the party are not going to be very frequent but i will do my best to check places out. I would appreciate a bit of help with this, maybe a few of you could try and find some places to stay off the web and i can check them out as they come in or maybe Tab could help out with saying whats good and whats not as he also lives in Telford. I will check Naughty Nells out before the weekend as i think this is a good place to start. As for staying in the unit itself i am going to have to say that this is a non starter. I understand that going away for a night or two can get expensive especially with fuel costs etc etc and a free nights dossing in the unit would help, but it is on an industrial estate, i have to keep gates locked etc etc. I really don't mind anybody staying there its just all the other things that go with it. Hope you will see where i am coming from on this one.
I really am looking forward to the 23rd, its the first time we have had anywhere undercover big enough for a party and i would love it to be a success and everyone enjoys themselves and i also think by then i am going to be well overdue a large ale session ;)

Absolutely no probs as regards the unit and not crashing over. I understand the implications, just being the tight Jock as always... Happy to book a room at Naughty Nells or a travelodge or wherever, provided we get a chance to have a couple of small dry sherries in good company, without paying over the top bar prices.... :y

How big is this naughty nells?

Thinking out loud here (always a bad thing) but how practicle would it be to do the work on the cars etc on the Saturday at the unit, BBQ/curry/whatever with beers et al at the unit, then hiring a minibus or similar to transport a load of drunks to the accomodation (wherever) leaving the cars under lock and key until the Sunday??

will minibus drivers be willing to drive bad dirty, greasy, drunk blokes, as chances are we'll get somewhat covered in oil...

I think Naughty Nells has nine rooms, if we can manage to get in there or near there, we can walk from the unit

Is that what we're going for then?
-
If its walking distance from the unit, why not?
-
Probably not enough accomodation for us all though?

After beer, beans on toast, etc.? NO! :o ;D

Trouble is, if we don't get something sorted very very soon, we may be disappointed.

Looks like Naughty Nells only has the 4 poster bed available and the other hotel in Schifnell is fully booked.
The international hotel in Telford is only 42 quid a night:

I have just got a twin at Naughty's as a banker for somewhere to stay (and its cancellable up until the day before). Guess it was the last one.
-
OK, I booked a double at NN's as its free to cancel upto a day before..... :-[

Looks like this is about 2miles away....
It implies you can ask for extra bed in room to reduce costs?
-
Yep........just a 4 poster left......
Think I might end up in Telford then!
Gonna check the work hotel bookings site tomorrow to.

thats how I read it as well, but may only be for kids sizes.....
you should be OK lengthwise then, TB?? :D

Since i HAVE to drive back on the night , eventually, and will be steadfastly remaining sober, I could do some ferrying around... prior to departure... , On the whole i think we'll put plastic sheeting over the interior of my Elite first though :y

We went for the 4-poster after all. Like you say, can cancel if better to relocate with the group.

Gonna check the work hotel bookings site tomorrow to.
The one you posted in Telford seems like a go-er, just means some cant have too much of a drink until arriving at hotel, unless people fancy walking - about 2 miles I reckon.
Be better if we all stayed at same place?

Implies it is - down left hand side, Cancellations. Hints there may be T&Cs.
I'm tempted to get a banker in before they book out.
Christ, at this rate, I'll have booked every hotel in the area ;D

Be a day run for me but will help out cabbing folks about before i head home. I know most of you will have had the odd one or two before leaving so i can help out there @ have a drink when i get home. When you're all in the bar try to have a digi & lappy with you & post some live p****d pics. I'll be downloading mine at the same time!
Timbuk. Hope your family situation is as well as can be expected, as the host your car is first for free valet if you want it done mate.
Cheers, Guy. :y

I've just booked a room there.. No sign of anything on the confirmation... Keeps referring to Ts and Cs which just aren't there. However, it says no deposit is charged... :-/
Stop Press: Just got the email confirmation and it's on there:
Cancellations:If
cancelled up to 1 day before the date of arrival, no fee will be
charged.
If cancelled later or in case of no-show, the first night will
be
charged.

Bar shouldn't be an issue.....its close to the middle of Telford.
And close to the station and there is also a station in Shifnell so many options....
-
Right, just booked the International....
I notice they have Continental breakfast and Bacon Butties included in the price.
Interestingly, our highly competitive room rates through work with HRG (Hogg Robinson Travel) are 20 quid more!
-
The International Hotel Telford, has a licensed bar on site, so could this be the hotel we could all be staying at? If so then i will book this hotel as well.
-
I've just booked International aswell. :y Just as well Greg is my son as only double rooms with double beds available!! ::)
Not a bad price £42.50 per room and not per person. :)
-
I've just booked International aswell. :y Just as well Greg is my son as only double rooms with bouble beds available!! ::)

Thanks for that Mark, didn't notice that bit. Mind you, we probably won't give a monkey's after copious amounts of beer!! ::)
Mind you, I did specify twin beds in the "special requirements" box so maybe that will do the trick.

that's right ;D
the nearest pub to the hotel is the severn gorge opposite the cop shop right next to the shopping centre.
if it's justs pubs you're after then shifnal's the place, but if you want nightclubs oakengates has some(but i think they're a load of crap tbh and not the friendliest place in telford either)
i reckon it'll cost you about a fiver to get back to the hotel from shifnal, it's about 4-5 miles.
-
Just made my resevation at the International as well, so see you all there.
Paul :y

Seriously though, as long as they have some decent beer and don't rip you off it could be one for the "tour". :y

No BAR? :o
party in you room then matey!.... ;D
Ah (fuzzy) memories of Goole ;D

So pub crawl round Shifnal, then train back to telford? Assuming trains run that late, else taxi.
Do we need to book in to hotel first - ie, Dougs unit > hotel book in/shower > shifnal > pub crawl > sleep in gutter outside pub?
-
That me booked in at the international too :)

Yes, the thought of beering smelling of ATF and antifreeze does not appeal.

Option of shed/awning referred to earlier is now a no-go I'm afraid. Can't get out of working that weekend .. :(
Hope you all enjoy ... I'll not be jealous .. promise ... :(
