Quote from: Ninja_Freak;310868Just a follow up.. Did we get anywhere with the ideas proposed on this thread? What would the possibility of a Thursday night start be?

I'm up for that, but then again it's easy for me to get to March so I'll go with whatever the majority want.

I can't see it being a problem with the hotel so it then leaves it down to two factors:

1. Those members who lovingly store the server, cables and switches to see if they're willing and able to come set up on the Thursday.
2. How many attendees want to come on the Thursday night. (I doubt I'd make it on the Thursday as I I have to do the school run on Friday mornings)

The next time I liaise with the hotel I'll check in principle and we'll see what we can do

Thanks A Lot Pen!

That I can help with, if needed.

I have a switch which we could use it's only 10/100 mind you.

We would be able to run it all thursday but is sunday leaving later in the evening a better option?

Quieter traffic and we don't have to pay for an extra nights room.

I'd be along for thursday but realistically i can only see people turning up in the afternoon rather than in the morning.

Personally i'd stay for aslong as people are there what i am saying is whats best for the majority not the minority.

As I didn't want to create a topic especially for this question, I'll just hijack this on, and possibly reopen the discussion too, but thats besides the point for now.
15-17th of October is most likely not going to change? Because If i book my flight now its only like 70 euros, and if I wait 2 more months I'll pay twice, or even tripple for it

But it be a waste if the date isn't 100% certain and I'll end up with 2 almost useless tickets.

Penfold · July 21, 2010, 10:54:30 PM

I'll phone the hotel tomorrow and doubly double check with them and let you know :thumbsup2:

Gone_Away · July 21, 2010, 11:35:18 PM

Awesome!! I hoped you be by tonight Pen..

Benny · July 22, 2010, 12:15:39 PM

With a bit of luck the doubley checking will bring it forward a week.....

Gone_Away · July 22, 2010, 12:45:46 PM

Whatever the date turns out to be...

Can we confirm that we can have the room on Thursday PM? I'd be more than happy to help set things up with the staff..

I like the turning up on Thursday, a few drinks and then up and setup. Makes it a more relaxing weekend. I am more than happy to pick up the network gear from TL before hand and setup Thursday evening/ Friday morning.

Tutonic · July 22, 2010, 12:59:55 PM

I can help with the Thursday setup/drinking

Gone_Away · July 22, 2010, 01:45:24 PM

W00t!!

Penfold · July 22, 2010, 02:10:34 PM

Sorry, we can't change the date.

If you want to turn up on the Thursday then you'll get the subsidised rate.

The Noble Suite is currently free and will be set up to welcome us (although if they get a booking for it I've told them to accept it) as we can hold off until Friday AM without it causing us too much grief.

Bookings have opened for International Members and Supporting Members. If you're an international member and not a supporting member then you can pm me and I'll add you to the list.

Toby, thank you for your offer of picking the stuff up, we'll discuss it and let you know.

Thanks
