I still need to sort mine out, would prefer to stay somewhere other 'softies are at so I'll give them a call tomorrow, probably. How much they charging, Rob?

Yeah, I should really start sorting travel and accomodation out sometime soon - anyone up for going halves on a room?

I booked myself at the Lakeside, I can say almost certainly (as I also called them) that the Newton is fully booked for the weekend.

me and james are going down together, is it worth pm'ing james to see if we can sort out a room with like 2 double ins for cheaperness?

Me and the girlfriend are booked in there. Looks like I made the booking just in time

Yeah, that's an idea.
While I'm on the blag, any chance of a lift down there if I chuck a few quid in the pot?

Hi, welcome to the Northern llamasoftie transport system

If you can get to somewhere convenient (Doncaster'd be ace) I'll take you down.

I think we're going for the bad old Nanford out of comic amusement. I've not booked anything yet, mind. Hope they have room or we'll be on a park bench (although, compared to the Nanford, which would you prefer

).

My car has a boot the size of a shoebox so you might have to sit next to some bags

Oh yeah, we were planning on going back on Monday rather than Sunday. Parking in Oxford is well expensive and I hate the Sunday morning car shuffle after checking out of the Nanford. Plus I've never actually done any "sight seeing" in the town.

Possibly. I need to check first. I'll let you know

Doncaster is totally doable, as is coming back on the monday.

Dunno if I much fancy the Nanford though. Even leaving aside the epic crapness, it's miles away from the venue. Sure I can't persuade you guys to try somewhere civilised?

It's cheap, but if there's anywhere else that's not too expensive I'm open to a flea-free night's sleep

We were going to either stagger drunkenly through town (suitable amounts of beer ensuring the 2 mile walk seems like five minutes) or get in a taxi.

But where else has rooms?

I'm still looking for somewhere so if there's a chance of cheapness in multiple bookings PM me. I'll be doing some phoning around places tomorrow morning, hopefully.
