TST Staffordshire Double: 30/31 August 2014

Book the train tickets for Drayton. But I have two questions.

1. How do you get from Tamworth station to the park?
2. What's the best method of buying tickets? BOGOF with someone else or buying advanced ones offline?

I think you can usually buy tickets online for £20 at Drayton (plus booking fee :p) and you can either print at home, or collect on the day. It will work out cheaper if a few people buy together then there is only one booking fee (if you can trust people :p). BOGOFS are sometimes harder to find for Drayton than Merlin places.

I wish I could attend this meet as I loved the meet last year at Drayton (followed by the meal after wards!), plus they always seem to extend ride close when we have a meet. But I am working the Saturday and Sunday and have no holiday left at work :(

Great! Cheers Mike. I'll book it online and collect from the park =)
 
Errrrrrr maybe Drayton. Towers will have to wait I think (because I always book so in advance *looks at July*) :p
 
Hopefully I'll be there for either one or both days. If I just do the one it'll probably be Drayton. Stopping over will be dependent on funds :p
 
Feels like it's been a while, so yeah, I'll show my face on the Sunday.
Drayton... is Drayton though, so I'll probably go elsewhere on the Saturday, not decided yet. :)
 
i'll be there on the sunday, can't afford to go drayton and stop over but would be rude not to use my merlin pass for towers
 
I'll see if I can get the money to do Drayton (£26.50 online), but if not I'll have to give this one a miss. Even though I'm free on the Sunday, I will have nobody to bring me back from Towers to Leicester. Getting there isn't the problem. :(
 
Just testing the water, but does anyone have room space Saturday night or is looking?
 
Definitely not doing Drayton, because it's Drayton, and I'd have to pay RealLife™ money to get in. I could do Towers, but I'll need a lift back to Leicester... @djtruefitt @Rob @anyone-who's-going-and-is-passing-through-leicester

:p

Work shifts permitting, I've finally convinced myself to give Drayton another go.
 
I've already done Drayton this year so don't plan to return. Might consider doing Towers on the Sunday, depending on money. :)
 
'fraid I'm gonna have to be a pain and drop out of this meet! I was going to but my manager wouldn't let me have the day off. I'll try my best to get to scarefest! It's been too long!

I'm afraid I am working all weekend so can't do the meet, I would love to as well as I really liked it last year.
