After billing beeing a great succes and freindships enhanced etc. i though it might be nice to have a camping weekend away with those who are married bringing there wives (if ya want) and there kids etc.

The Venue.

I was thinking somewhere near to alton towers so we can have a day or two in there for some gut renching fun.

The Date.

I was thinking maybe sometime in september or early oct.

If this is something you are interested in then get your name on the list and we'll get it sorted.

Sounds good to me fella, I know a camp site up near Alton Towers, or we could travel lodge it, you know, one with a pub next door?

**Dave GSiT** · 20-07-2006 08:01

Yeah put me down for this, although I would point out that if it's alton towers...

I'm told thats not a cheap place to stay... How about..... Amsterdam!

Perv.

It's not expensive to stay at or near alton towers if you plan it right.

You don't HAVE to stay at their hotel (although the water park hotel does appeal to me)
Like I said, there's a campsite near by with a pub near it, and Travel lodge is cheap.

Yeah me to i would love to stay at the water park.

however it may not be everyones cup of tea so maybe travel lodge or again camping.

**MarkW** · 20-07-2006 15:50

I think to be fair, the water park hotel will be STUPID money, deffo travel lodge or camping.

**GSI Rob** · 20-07-2006 15:56

deffo agreed on this

mark if you know of a place nearby then could you source some prices etc for the camping and ill try and get us a group discount at the towers

**MarkW** · 20-07-2006 16:07

Leave it with me.

**GSI Rob** · 20-07-2006 16:15

i thank you.

**Brian Stirrup** · 20-07-2006 16:46

**GSI Rob** · 20-07-2006 18:44

**intikab** · 21-07-2006 20:59

**MarkW** · 22-07-2006 07:18

Rob + myself are in the costing stage at the mo, I'm gonna cost up both options, but if you haven't got a tent don't worry, I'll probably stay at a travel lodge anyway!! lmao

**BlackIce** · 22-07-2006 07:47

if you're coming up our way how about a west mids/eastern meet up or 5-a-side match sometime over the weekend?

**MarkW** · 25-07-2006 20:25

Could be do-able mate, but at the mo, we're gaining interest and costs.

**Drizz** · 27-07-2006 18:04

**MarkW** · 08-08-2006 08:43
