The only thing to make sure we get up there for the start we'd have to make an extremely early start on Sat Morning i.e. 5am as the minibus will be speed limited, the other stuff Helen says she's fine with.

She also asked me to say that if we need the minibus for other things then she can book it but will need some notice i.e. maybe the Wales trip

Does this mean staying over Friday as well or is everyone fine with an early start??? I am!

I'm ok with the early start....people can always sleep in the minibus i guess

I will be available for the tournament again this year.

I will make my own way up too. It was the 5 star Sheraton last year, this year it looks like an airbed in my mate's living room !! How the mighty have fallen !

I misled you last night Gents, the cost for B&B at Edinburgh is more than I remembered. I was confusing it with a different University (in London, which is not quite as convenient!).

The cost for the weekend will be £60 each which includes University room (en-suite and breakfast), minibus there and back and the ticket for Sat & Sun for playing in the tag tournament. Our driver has very kindly offered to set off at a ridiculously early hour on Saturday and we will be coming back on Sunday. Those wishing to stay for the Sunday night as well would have to make their own way home.

I'm in

I need the full names of each person staying over at the University on Saturday night to be able to book it. Please send them to me (using any means) as soon as possible.

I thank you!

Ok, staying at the University we have:

Helen, Me, Scott, Kevin, Claire, Mark, Ben, Michael, Tom, Matt, John (Kev's mate), Big Dan......

Any more for anymore????

Going to be booked Wednesday so deposits required next Monday from all the above.

I have checked with Uni and they require full payment at the time of booking. I will be paying tomorrow, Wednesday, for the above names so beware that you will still owe £42,50 if you cancel after tonight!

Me and Dan will love to play in the tournament (assuming it finishes in time to watch the Leeds match) we are staying on a caravan site in Edinburgh so no accomodation required for us.

Last year the tournament was before the games started on the first day. I expect they'll do that again.

BAD NEWS!!!!

The University have (finally) got back to me and have confirmed that they are full!!

I shall check other options but it is unlikely that we will all get in the same hotel for anything like those prices.

Any suggestions people?

Camping anyone??

URGENT!

There are rooms available at the Airport Hilton for £55 each (sharing a twin). These do not include breakfast which is available extra.

All interested??

Ok with me, Michael, Tom, Dan.....

I'm going to have to declare myself out.

Put me down for that. I've paid most of my hotel room cost on monday will pay reminder when you need it H.

Harry, Mike, Tom, Scott, Dan, Ben are ok with Hilton.
Helen? Kev, et al?

checking will come back to you tonight

Helen, Harry, Scott, Kevin, Claire, Ben, Michael, Tom, Matt.

Just need to get the hotel rooms booked!!

Rooms booked (for reduced numbers)! Woo Hoo!!!

If anyone else wants to go I can recommend the Hilton at the Airport (booked through Hotels.com for a discount).

Money is still due chaps (and chapesses!).
Still to pay:

Helen Scott Kevin Ben Clare Matt

Hotel is now costing £55 so can I please have money/balances on Monday evening?

I'll be in Edinburgh for the weekend if you're desperately short of players. We arrive about 10am I think.

Danny

6 o'clock for the minibus!! That's 6 Harry! So don't be late. You know how ratty the bus drive can get. X x x

Hail to the bus driver bus driver lady

We shall be there on time, don't worry!

I must warn you all that I am still full of cold and therefore should be sat near the window, on my own, away from everyone else and supplied with regular drinks and drugs!

For those who are not travelling up by minibus please give me a ring to collect tickets.
