Quote ( Jonathan Beagles @ September 17th 2020,00:07:34 ) Potentially yes...though I'd probs get the train I reckon! Which Uni are you at James?
I’m at Bolton, I was thinking of getting the train too, but they seemed a bit pricey? £80 each way was the prices I was getting.

Shall we do Nottingham/Derby instead then? I was planning on driving as I am still not comfortable travelling via public transport haha
|

Derby could work for me, trains are about half the price.
what’s the plans for it and I’ll see if I can work it all around uni. :)

Most likely go there Fri night/Sat morning/afternoon depending on interest, and then either go to a pub and just chill and watch Jeff Stelling/F1 Qualifying or go bowling/karting if there are enough people. Then night, we can either go out for food, or I was thinking of Airbnbing a house and everyone stay there instead. We can chill and play drinking board games or something of that interest. Sunday will be the big find of finding a pub that will play the F1 race, and then home after the F1 race :)
If anyone else has other ideas, lemme know :D

AirBnB house is a great shout Jun, plus love that itinerary you've put there - well up for this! :D
|
|
|
|
That would definitely work for me. I think an AirBnB is a super idea tbh
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So I make that:
Jun
Me
Wayne
Reece
James
Means we have space for 1 other maximum to join...not sure how Matt Standen feels about Nottingham, but personally I'm well up for it :)

I will book an Airbnb. I will ask for people's opinions via the thread :)

Bradford, what gives you that idea.... 😁
Haven't looked back through thread, what dates do you have in mind, I have a couple of long weekends away that haven't officially been cancelled.

One minor thing Jun - Wayne mentioned he was bringing Reece...so that would make 7 people including everyone you've tagged there?
Also that property has 5 double beds...who are you envisioning will be sharing a bed???
EDIT - Otherwise it looks good though :)

I dont mind being on the couch lol. There aren't any places in Derby that had 6 bedrooms that is relatively cheap lol.
And yes I forgot about Reece, sorry! Is he of legal drinking age?
|

|
|
Oh is it Derby or Nottingham? I'm happy either way tbh...Nottingham was where I looked though and there were plenty of places for 6 people with 5 bedrooms and 6 beds (figure Wayne and Reece can share a room, though probs not a bed!) :)

If its staying over I wont bring reece if it takes us over 7
he's only 16 ;)

Quote ( Jun Ho @ September 18th 2020,01:01:41 ) I found this one which is cheap and close to the centre:
https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/43823475?adults=6&check_i...
£87 per person for 2 nights (Fri to Sun). If everyone agrees, I can book with my own money and people can pay me back whenever in the next couple of weeks :)
@Jonathan Beagles (A7) @James Hitchen (A50) @Wayne Laundon (A83) @Mark Witney (P8) @Matthew Standen (A10)
Happy to pay you on last working day of this month if this is ok Jun? Just need to confirm with the wife I am free which I ca do this evening.

You can take me off of the list. I was only in if the meeting was going to be local to me.

We can do Nottingham... I just saw James' comment up top where he looked for tickets to Derby rather than Nottingham that's all. Nottingham is a little closer to me than Derby, but I can do either.

Oh, and we shared before in Latvia JB ;) We know how that ended.....

Quote ( Jun Ho @ September 17th 2020,23:52:48 ) @Mark Witney (P8) you want in? :) I think you are based in Bradford :)
Supposed to be going to Budapest on 25th October for half term/sons birthday and although it's very unlikely to happen given latest restrictions on both sides, I can't commit to anything else it as it stands. If dates change or I get confirmation on Budapest before this is full I'm certainly up for it.
If all else fails I can get to either Derby or Nottingham for the Saturday to meet up for a few beers anyway.

Cool cool, lemme know if you can! :)
So at the moment we have pretty much part-confirmed of 5 right?
Me
Jon
James
Wayne
Reece(?)
@Matthew Standen (A10) how local is local for you lol?
|
|
|
|
We better start booking stuff soon :)
Are we gonna meet Derby or Nottingham? :D
|
|
|
|
So for the 5 of us I believe...
Quote ( Jun Ho @ September 18th 2020,13:35:52 ) Me
Jon
James
Wayne
Reece(?)
(In terms of what's closest)
Jun = Nottingham
Jon = Derby
James = Derby
Wayne & Reece = Nottingham
James has a strong preference for Derby and both you, Wayne & Reece have said Derby is acceptable - so recommend going for Derby :)
EDIT - Though that said, given the difficulties with going out for e.g. drinks etc. I'd recommend looking for a really good place, even if it's not near a city centre :)
