Looking at the 808 photo at http://www.thewarehouseproject.com/line ... e-ups.html we might be in for more surprises (Martin)

Yeah right. That'll be the day.

Graham, Martin, Andrew, Darren and Gerald all in the same room?

Don't think Massey could deal with Nicky again but it would be good for a laugh.

If there's a chance we'll have Graham, Martin & Gerald in one room at the same time could we have RDJ/AT bring along any of the documentation holding up the re-release of Quadrastate and we'll have a word.

Ticket No.9 apparently!

My tickets are ordered. After all these years, I'm looking forward to meeting my fellow 808-ers there!

Oh, and I'll be staying at my own house thanks. I only live 20 miles away.

John has recommended Sachas Hotel while Nick has recommended Gardens Hotel. I think I may give Gardens a try, as Sachas tends to have very noisy guests as they do football specials. And seeing it's ManU - Liverpool on that very day... (I literally once spent a sleepless night at Sachas Hotel). P.S. Don't take this as an opportunity to start talking footie, I'll delete anything footie related

Also in the Picadilly Gardens hotel - close to town, and within 5+ minutes walking distance of the station/venue - ideal...

Single rooms are about 40 quid per night, twin rooms are about 60 quid per night - the rooms are basic, but stayed there loads of times before - never tried the breakfast (as I'm not normally up in time!), but apparently it's supposed to be quite good!

Erm, isn't that in Derbyshire?

Be aware that trains are a no-go on that weekend (as suspected):

"Between Saturday 22 and Monday 24 March, Virgin Trains services will operate reduced services that will start/terminate at Coventry or Birmingham International with no services operating to/from London Euston. "

Marvellous - must get an environmentally unfriendly plane instead!

That's environmental!

What's worse is that I also use that same trainline to go to work, and just recently (after Christmas), they overran their engineering work... If they do that the week after Easter, I'll just have to work from home
