TS Merlinpool Meet: 21-22 September 2013

I think I have these days off work, but getting there is going to be a pain. If anyone can give me a lift from around Staffordshire, let me know :)
 
Right, looks like I'm coming, and probably giving Lewis a lift as well (if anyone else would like a lift from somewhere along the M1 between the M25 and Nottingham, or from vaguely between Nottingham and Blackpool, let me know).

Still need to sort accommodation. Travelodges in Blackpool are extortionate - one option is to go for Travelodge Preston Central, which on the one hand is currently £62 for a family room for the Friday and Saturday night combined, but on the other is around 20 miles away, so bit of a commute.

Another option is a B&B - prices currently seem to be around the £70-90 mark for three adults for the two nights, so anyone interested in joining up?

Any other ideas / people looking for accommodation?
 
Last year me and Sammy stayed in a B&B (no idea of the name, i'm sure Sam might remember). It was basic but cheap and for the amount of time we spent in the room it didn't really matter. We didn't check in till about 10pm, and then went straight out for a few drinks. I'm hoping to do the same this year, maybe also have a stay over on the Friday night, but not 100% on that yet.

Will see what Sammy says!
 
After many months of not-being-on-meets, I'll be joining Dave and you all on the Saturday! We shan't be staying over though.
 
Me and Sam have decided we will be there just for the Saturday. Its too expensive to stay over and this does seem to be what most people are doing :p

Must remember to buy park ticket soon!
 
I could go, but I'm really not up to a 3 hour train journey each way in an exhausted state or crashing at some relatives house. :p
Plus it's my 16th in November so I want to skydive and stay over at Scarefest. Have a good 'un! :*
 
I was looking forward to this, but I'm not as fussed about this anymore.

Still have a 2-4-1 voucher for up to 4 people. Anyone? :S
 
Most likely wont be going now. Have a lot to do at the moment and need to focus my efforts in getting these things sorted rather than visiting Theme Parks.
 
anyone needing accommodation? also have seats in a car available starting from Essex, and going on he M1, if anyone is in need of a lift there? Or does anyone have free seat in there car?

How much would that would out per-person if we had 4 people using it?

£15, I think. I'm going to use it with one other person so far, so another two are welcome. :)

Can me and Sammy use it as well then? :) I take it you will be arriving for park opening or what ever time everyone else is meeting?

Sure! And yep, getting there for opening. :)
 
If anyone requires transport to/from Rugeley or Stafford stations please let me know.
