March M2nch2st2r Meet

Alberto · **Joined:** 28th Jan, 2011 **Posts:** 1198

Well I said I would organise this about 6 weeks ago and then have barely logged in since, however Curio has pertinently reminded me so here is the poll. Which is not a poll because frankly fuck that, I have simply decreed the date to be the weekend of April 6-7th. If it turns out loads of people want to come but can't make that then we can cross that bridge when we reach it.

Tentative plan is lunch(arrival time depending)/drinking/possible dancing on Saturday, brunch/lunch/drinking (departure time depending) on Sunday. If anyone intends making a weekend of it, and I strongly recommend this idea, then I'm happy to arrange some sort of meal out/drinks fandango on the Friday night too. I shall be back in due course with more specific ideas of where we are going and cheap hotel recommendations, although since Manchester has proved a hotbed of Beex funtimes once before then many of you will already have some idea about the latter. It truly is a land of milk, honey and opportunity!

Please express interest here!

Sounds good.

Apart from the Ange not being able to make it bit.

Not happy being the only Vegan in the village?

Yay!

Is there an Official-Beex-Cheap-Hotel-of-Awesome for this?
Or at least, which neighbourhoods should we be looking at for one?

We're waiting on Alberto to organise WTF we're doing.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Sun Jan 06, 2013 1:25

As before, if there's handy car transport that I get a lift with (and pay towards costs) then I'd be in. Trains, not so much.

Anyone know where we can stay?! Need Friday and Saturday night...

Maaaay have overlooked this part of the planning slightly.

Cras · **Joined:** 30th Mar, 2008 **Posts:** 49244

Depends a bit on where the festivities will be taking place. Alberto, plan things!

DavPaz · **Joined:** 27th Jun, 2008 **Posts:** 38667

Book a table! Quick!

On our recent trip we stayed at the new-ish Premier Inn on Dale Street which was cheap and pleasant enough. The other selling point is that it's literally two minutes from Picadilly station (if you go out the back entrance) which makes it very handy for the train. Also, they had an automated check-in machine so you could skip the queue of massive foreign families buggering around at the reception desk when you just want to check in which is pretty satisfying.

Bah, that's just a round of drinks to you Londoners.

Whatever it is, it's way more than I can spend on a room! Anyone willing to put Craster and I up on the Sat night? Plenty of cheap rooms on the Fri, just not the Sat!

*grumbles something about stupid Easter holidays*

Curiosity · **Posted:** Fri Jan 25, 2013 12:34

I worked out why the hotels are expensive... that's the weekend of the Manchester Derby. Oops.

Alberto! Where are we doing things in the evening? Plan something, you bastard!

TheFireFaerie · **Joined:** 1st Jul, 2012 **Posts:** 1609

Great date picking...

Curio - have realised that you too will need somewhere to stay! No doubt others will too.

Let's rent a flat for the weekend and have a mini cottag3 experience!!!

Curiosity · **Posted:** Fri Jan 25, 2013 13:03

Currently have to work out plans re: the Friday (intending to meet old Uni friend) and re: family (who are planning on also coming).
