I'd look on the map to see where RV and the Nanford are in relation to each other. It's only across the river, but you've got a 2 mile walk to the nearest bridge, or a 1.5m walk through the middle of Oxford.
Since Oxford is totally car hostile there's nowhere at all to park - and the carparks charge you SIX QUID for four hours.

NANFORD AHOY!!
(cant be much worse than my living room)
Your living room is TIDIER and MORE COMFORTABLE than the Nanford, let me assure you. Food was better too.
Now now... to be fair, the rooms are fairly tidy. The stairs may look like they're twisting into another dimension, the paint may be faded and peeling and the owner may have a picture of Basil Fawlty above his computer, but the rooms are tidy and the english breakfast seemed ok.
I was more concerned by the lock-less sliding windows (next to the roof of a flat garage, no less), the very run-down bathrooms (functional, but liable to creaks, groans and spots of mold) and the wierd old bloke watching WW2 movies on a small tv 10ft away (and through a doorframe) in the "reception". Didn't half make me jump when he coughed, while I was standing there waiting for Mr Ever-So-Friendly Landlord[*] to return...
[*] This may be a slight exaggeration. He's more of a shuffling-zombie personality
no he never asked me but thats not the point the point is if markie never mentioned this place we wouldn't have the fun were havening now. So in short it is markies fault that we even know of this place and i love him for it. I have personally slept in worse places and it defenetly crash able and when i was there last year the hotel owner was actually pleasant Anyway i just want to say thanx markie thank you very much for this place one of the best hovels i have slept in and pending on how many are going to stay there i will too. Will be cheeper on taxi fare and ill see you down there. Plus you will recive your money that i havent payed yet
Markie do we have any recommended places to stay close by, also what's the parking situation for the new venue if the places can't guarantee parking spaces for guests etc?
Couldn't see either on the Retrovision site sorry if they're on there.

you know the Park & Ride system in Oxford, can I drive to it and leave my car all weekend? Or is it for one day only?
And where can I find out prices?
The prices for the Park & Ride are via the link to the Park & Ride web site on the Retrovision site link in Markie's sig on nearly every page of this thread.
Hmmm first Markie makes a comment about some cryptic thing called Llamatronics, then Psychorob asks for loads of 360s and LCDs at RV hmmmm.
Tell me what the suprise is please!!! I promise to keep it secret
@Markie, what's the deal with bringing non-member friends along, is it a case of only if the tickets aren't all sold fella?
edit: Ahhh also I have saved two very special consoles (pre VCS/Intellivision/VideoPac/Coleco from 70s) with a few games with each both boxed. If I do indeed make it to the RV2008 thingy how much notice do you need for these to be added to a prize/competition give away at RV Markie? Would like them to go to a good home of retro gamers
