Ice Tiger Posted 17 December , 2011 Share Posted 17 December , 2011 Hey Tony, Are you bringing that miserable old ****** who hangs around in bars with you? Pete Not sure about the old ****** but a very youthful ( ) Ice Tiger will be sharing the travelling costs with Tony on this Great Northern expedition. Should be quite a trip venturing to unknown lands beyond the M25 It would seem Tony has been to Birmingham before and he tells me it is safe but I'm not too sure - I will take the advice of my Doctor on which innoculations will be required Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted 17 December , 2011 Share Posted 17 December , 2011 I know what you mean, but it appears that most Midlanders have given up eating their young. Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyE Posted 17 December , 2011 Share Posted 17 December , 2011 Hey Tony, Are you bringing that miserable old ****** who hangs around in bars with you? Pete Crikey ****** looks os much worse when it is replaced by asterisks - my mind has run riot! No, the miserable old asterisk decided to pass on the conference when I mentioned it to him. ....but the class acts will be there!

Martin Bennitt Posted 29 December , 2011 Share Posted 29 December , 2011 Just booked my accommodation (Premier Inn this time, on Kim's recommendation) and transport. It costs as much to travel by train between London and Birmingham as it does between Paris and London. When do you want the rest of the payment, Alan? cheers Martin B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Sheldon Posted 29 December , 2011 Share Posted 29 December , 2011 Martin - Not if you travel from London Marylebone. Have a look on The Train Line site - or similar. There are some very low prices to be had. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjustice Posted 4 January , 2012 Share Posted 4 January , 2012 Which hotels are: a. best for purpose and/or b. daft enough to accept bookings from GWF members en masse? Cheers, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted 4 January , 2012 Share Posted 4 January , 2012 The Premier Inn on Hagley Road seems to be being taken over by the GWF for the weekend. Just don't tell them......they might shut the bar early! Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMH Posted 8 January , 2012 Share Posted 8 January , 2012 Alan, I haven't been concentrating - just realized that one of the speakers is to be Dr Chris Pugsley. My cheque is on its way. JH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awakefield Posted 11 January , 2012 Share Posted 11 January , 2012 Hi Alan Hoping to attend the conference but, being rather disorganised, have not sent off a deposit as yet! Can I just pay the whole attending fee in one hit? If so, who do I make the cheque out to and what is the address to which I should send? Thanks ALAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trenchtrotter Posted 12 January , 2012 Share Posted 12 January , 2012 Living so near the venue and knowing Tally Ho so well (professionally speaking) I feel I should attend but you always organise when I am in France on my annual March trot across the Somme fields!! Have a great time and all of you who can should make the effort to attend the Old Contempts! It really is a good pub and good ale! Full of cops having a beer mind so no fighting, gambling and other debauchery! TT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithmroberts Posted 12 January , 2012 Share Posted 12 January , 2012 One thing is for certain. Premier Inns will be doing no special deals for Hagley road on that weekend. They must be almost fully booked by now. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
