centurion Posted 26 March , 2010 Share Posted 26 March , 2010 Which accommodation did you both go for? (so we know which one not to get next year) Kensington - I concur - I've stayed in worse hotels - but this is Birmingham not Yemen or Nigeria - I expect more.

Stephen Barker Posted 26 March , 2010 Share Posted 26 March , 2010 I will attempt to come next year. I'd like to sell a few books too. Great forum and good to see this event going ahead. Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimSmithson Posted 26 March , 2010 Share Posted 26 March , 2010 Will be there again. Must organise another course around the weekend so that MOD can pay one way again. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrel Posted 26 March , 2010 Share Posted 26 March , 2010 Which accommodation did you both go for? (so we know which one not to get next year) The Post House Broadway Plaza - not at all impressed. The whole place was jaded, the room cold and noisy, I still have bruised elbows from the bijou shower room and nobody mentioned the parking charges when I booked. The breakfast was overpriced as well. Mind you, I found the staff very helpful and friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdoc Posted 26 March , 2010 Share Posted 26 March , 2010 Since it's already obvious there are going to be quite a few of us, I wonder whether it would be worth trying for a group booking at one of the hotels people found acceptable? I would have thought there would be a call for at least 30 rooms next year and that ought to make any hotel manager's ears ***** up. Keith (Edit: Gawd save us from automatic word checkers!)

Charles Fair Posted 27 March , 2010 Share Posted 27 March , 2010 I'll definitely attend, and this time would stay over. Alan, well done with getting the booking in early. Charles F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Dixon Posted 30 March , 2010 Share Posted 30 March , 2010 Can I recommend the Strathallan Hotel on the Hagley Road, less than 10 minutes from Tally Ho. We booked 30 rooms for a family get together and the feedback was all satisfactory from everyone. It's also well worth checking out Laterooms.com you can get some cracking deals if you try and book the week of the stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egbert Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 Sorry to stray a bit off topic, but - I thought we discussed in 2009 the next GWF conference -after the initial 2010- supposed to be in Flanders or Somme in order to have non islanders from France, Belgium, Luxemburg, Netherlands and Germany attend the conference?

ianw Posted 11 April , 2010 Share Posted 11 April , 2010 I can see no reason why there shouldn't be a periodic conferences in France or Belgium but think that the main annual conference should be in the UK given the preponderance of UK Forum members. It would be great if someone would organise a conference focussing on a specific Western Front subject/area and base the conference close-by - this would allow a conference visit to points of interest after the presentations. Personally, I would be equally likely to attend an event in the centre of the UK or on the Western Front as I am pretty much equidistant from both. However, it would be difficult for some UK members in the North of England, Scotland and Ireland to contemplate a specific trip abroad for a conference. Many can only afford one trip over a year to pursue their own immediate interests. Of course, these things take some organising and I wonder if there are any good folk who might be able to put something together in France or Belgium for the Autumn of 2011? The Spring conference could be in the UK with a second bite of the cherry "over there" later in the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
