John(txic) Posted 9 February , 2010 Share Posted 9 February , 2010 What is parking like at the venue? Plenty of spaces? Is it possible to park in the streets nearby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanCurragh Posted 9 February , 2010 Author Share Posted 9 February , 2010 John - loads of free on-site parking - I'll circulate a map nearer the time Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kate Wills Posted 9 February , 2010 Share Posted 9 February , 2010 How about the public transport links Alan? How far is it from the city centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 9 February , 2010 Share Posted 9 February , 2010 It's only about two miles. Buses that go along the Pershore Road (from memory something like the 45 and 47) depart from city centre and stop at Tally Ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 9 February , 2010 Share Posted 9 February , 2010 Well, it was the 45, 47 (and I think 41) from B'ham city centre when I used to go religiously for the cricket at Edgbaston (which is on the other side of the road), but that was in the 70s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Tucker Posted 9 February , 2010 Share Posted 9 February , 2010 The bus to catch from the City Centre is the 45 or 47 both of which go down the Pershore Road with a bus stop just outside the Tally Ho Centre after the lights on the Middle Ring Road. Edgbaston cricket ground to the left. Arriving by train at New Street or Moor Street the best bus stop is.... From New Street Station exit into New Street. Cross New Street and look for a 45/47 bus stop at the bottom of Corporation Street on the right ahead of you. From Moor Street follow signs to New Station and look for New Street en route. Leaving Waterstones behind you head towards the Town Hall (but not that far) and spot HSBC on your left before seeing the ramp just past it to New Street Station. Cross the road just before the junction with Corporation Street on the right and on the latter look for a 45/47 bus stop just round the corner. Taxis outside both stations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger H Posted 11 February , 2010 Share Posted 11 February , 2010 Alan My earlier post seems to have got lost amongst the joking! Will there be a list of attendees available? (I think we all know Bruce is going!) Roger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanCurragh Posted 11 February , 2010 Author Share Posted 11 February , 2010 Sorry, Roger - it did get lost! Yes, I'm intending circulating a list - in fact I'll post it here in a few days - if anyone wants their attendance to be a surpise, please PM me and I'll leave you off the list I'm still considering Bruce's application to attend!

AlanCurragh Posted 14 February , 2010 Author Share Posted 14 February , 2010 At long last, the list of those who are going - 1 or 2 are yet to confirm 100%, and there are half a dozen or so not on this list who are making up their minds, but this is how things currently look - 41 are confirmed for dinner on Saturday evening. Still plenty of space for those interested Alan --- 17TankMan Alan Tucker Aliecoco Andrew Hesketh BarrieDuncan Brian Curragh plus two guests from the Centre for First World War Studies Bruce Hubbard plus guest Bryn Hammond Bsears plus guest Burlington Centurion Charles Fair Charles Messenger ChrisHarley9 Cliff Hobson Doug Lewis Gheluvelt plus guest Glesga Highlander Grantowi Ian Murphy IamW Jim Smithson Jmoha John (txic) John Hartley Keith Roberts Kevin Endon plus guest MagicRat and Orson Malcolm Linham plus guest MartinBennett Martin Brown Matt Dixon Mhifle Michelle Young plus guest MickM Mike Steele Neil McKenzie Pighills plus guest PMHart PPCLI Purley RichM plus guest RMcGuirk Rockdoc Roger H RoyEvans Sandy Leishman Skipman plus guest Squirrel plus guest Staffsyeoman plus guest Stebie9173 Stephen Garnett plus guest Steve Mattock Stilletto Tony Paley WW1_dale_boys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burlington Posted 14 February , 2010 Share Posted 14 February , 2010 Alan Can I suggested that you pin a Topic giving joining and other essential information about the event on the top of this Forum without any option to reply. This would avoid the chance of people missing essential information amongst the welter of other postings. Do you see what I mean? It would not of course stop others from joining in using the original Topic. The other option of course is individual emails or PMs to those who have signed up.

AlanCurragh Posted 14 February , 2010 Author Share Posted 14 February , 2010 Martin - there is one - it's been there since July. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...howtopic=127802 I'm aware that information posted here will get lost - so I'm tending to use bulk emails when I need to contact folks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruce Posted 15 February , 2010 Share Posted 15 February , 2010 Is Ayesha going to have to change her name again? Her maiden name was Guest. It could get a bit confusing, especially for her husband. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
