Coldstreamer Posted 18 March , 2006 Share Posted 18 March , 2006 Hello The first time will not be as fruitful as the second, there is so much you learn from previous visits so dont be disappointed if you dont find everything you want first time out - Monstar offer is very kind and will save you lots of time Make sure its open- they are shut some times! You will need to take ID to get in Make a list of what you want to do and get as many reference numbers you can from the web site - it will save you time when you arrive. Can recommend the fried breakfast Have a good day Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 18 March , 2006 Share Posted 18 March , 2006 Also pre-register through the website. Then you'll just need to show ID at reception to pick up your card. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelwarlow Posted 18 March , 2006 Author Share Posted 18 March , 2006 Thanks steve, ive just done that. Roy, I replied to your email, about what times best to ring - not sure how the great war forum email works though , if you get it direct?, anyway, let me know what time to ring you on the number and I will. Many thanks for your help Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
