TTUK GSBM II: The Return. This Time It's Personnel

That was copied and pasted from the group owner so please do not write in about the title.

We have set the date for the Tek Tips (UK Group) Grand Summer Beery Meeting as Saturday 22nd July. The success of last year where about 25 people congregated on the Thames was such that we are going to do it all again. Hence the II.

So I checked www.lastminute.com and found that anyone wishing to stay overnight can start with the Belgrave House Hotel. £40 a night for a twin or double room including brekkie. Just south of the river. www.lastminute.com details places above 1 star as well. £40 a night? For a double room INCLUDING breakfast. The cost of laundry and labour for changing and laundering the sheets must be nearly that. Presumably breakfast is a dodgy apple?

Mind you it IS listed as "Basic" accommodation. Perhaps it will be more basic than the Cambridge MVP bash accomm? Kings College is either a good deal more basic than my student halls 4 years ago (oh shut up and go with the flow, I'm 26 forever people) or I'm getting forgetful.

Perhaps I should speak to Mr Arnold's travel team and "accidentally" get him booked in and look for a match report? Probably Scottish Mike would find it acceptable but he's happy just about anywhere.

I'd check out the most expensive hotel for that night too but since I don't want to spend the £40, anything more would just break me out into a cold sweat.
