I guess if travelling up with the players as per bozzer's suggestion, a lot depends upon the management's plans re: when we'd leave, I would guess they'd like to travel up and get in a training session somewhere on Friday afternoon to loosen a few stiff limbs.

I'm guessing we'll need to get out act together re: car sharing for this one - the cost split 4 ways wouldn't be too bad.

It'd be fantastic to get as many of us up there as possible to cheer the boys on - I think we have a real chance in this competition, without a doubt this is our toughest challenge to date.

I will happily take a day off to go up on the Friday, but I understand that others may not be able to. 8-) 8-)


Also, not too bad prices here, should be able to get a mass booking discount http://www.booking.com/hotel/gb/premier ... ity_target

Prices so far

These are for one day trip

RB travel
49 seater coach, at 950 pounds, so £20 per head, based on full occupancy

I have a cheaper quote, but I don't know the size of the coach so will get back to you on that, plus the cost of going Friday coming back Saturday will also be later on, might work out cheaper due to not needing two drivers.

That seems a great price to me. Provisionally i'm definitely interested.

Toilet and table would be a must given the length of the journey.

The table is only on 4 sets of seats, like a train, i will confirm, i guess we could charge more for those to bring the rest of the coach down a tiny bit

As suggested could be also used for the card school
