From Ian's first post on the bus:------
Bus will have (discreet) swally, toilet, singing facilities, video etc or I'm no going. Need about 50 folk.
PS. Discreet means no more than 2 cases each !

Pretty likely to go now - had a phonecall from the states in the wee hours †
Not happy with the timing as we move house on the Friday after, but I said I would get some help from the people on the bus  , so that persuaded her. Any takers?
Will confirm 2 people from the East Coast on Moday.

Ok, guys n gals. Here's an update. Sammyboy was asking about sending me cash and this is what I sent him.
Cash is a puzzle. The bus costs a grand even with the TA discount and there are only 25(now 24) definite bookings at the moment, which means that it will cost us £40 each. Every new person will mean that we have to pay just under £2 each less and decreasing. At 40 passengers thar's only £25 each which I'd kind of figured on and if there was any left over I was going to kitty it for the bus. We need more folk. Pass the word. In the meantime I'll front the money and collect it on the day.
I'll post numbers, times etc on Wed with a list of bookers. Can't find a cheap hotel for all of us for love nor money as the place is louping with footie folk that weekend. Suggest everybody book their own and pass on details about spare spaces on the Board. See Wullie's earlier post for a list. I've found B&Bs @ circa £20/25 with spaces, notably the Acorn Lodge, which had 9 beds when I spoke to them yesterday.
Cheers,
Ian
PS: for all you East Coasters, we can't really collect you and keep the hire price. I've squeezed them to bring you back to Embra and that's it. You could car it to Embra, park there and get the bus or train, of which there are plenty.... or whatever.

Why go to Cardiff then if it's so much bother trying to find a hotel. Big Rod says there are 5 pubs in Tittyville and several places to stay.
Could turn into a nightmare if we are scattered all about the place. Reckon Cardiff sounds like a bad move.
He also suggested Hereford as a good place for night out and not that far away from Tittyville.

If we can all get into the travel inn in Merthyr lets go there, the place will soon liven up when BC arrives.

Why don't we book accommodation in MT, it's 17 miles from Cardiff, and for those who want to hit the big city nightlife then we could either all take the bus or train ?

Ok guys n gals,
I've booked all of us into the Travel Inn in Merthyr, cost £41.95 per double room, each of which has a double bed and a single bed, so that's £21 each- and continental breakfast thrown in, or you can get a full Welsh one in the restaurant, but you have to pay for it.
I've provisionally booked 17 rooms, though we only have 25 on board at the moment and I need to know definite numbers for them by Wed. I get the impression that late booking won't be a problem, though.
Can you feel the party starting yet?
See you soon.
Ian

Ian what are your pick up points and leaving point in Glasgow?
Any chance of a list of people that are going?
Lastly, drop points in Edinburgh?
Sorry with all the questions and good on you for booking the rooms - keep us all together and make the other residents suffer. BTW let's hope the girls aren't staying there as well, if they are they'll have less chance of winning the next day.
