Fumbler Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I hope the extra dosh actually makes an improvement like they promise. I'd be down for some bacon rolls at Colsterworth again before heading in. EDIT- it seems the extra dosh hasn't been allocated to proofreading.

St.Jude Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I dunno, £20 a car seems fairly steep for what the event is. I'm unlikely to go anyway with everything going on but if the £20 does result in a better event then I suppose it'll be all the better for it. But from a hazy memory I have of events at Chomodeley* I don't think they charge the earth to host events there. *It is I who does the proofredding @Fumbler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidfowler2000 Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Myself and @blackboilersuithave committed to this now by buying tickets.

I'm looking at the Premier Inn Peebo City Centre because it's about half the price of the Grantham one we used last year and it's within sight of the train station for another wee day trip to That There London.

Sounds like much better value. It looks like it's got better access than I originally thought, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be worth £20 not to have last year's traffic jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually on Rivergate next to the Asda Still not a bad walk tbh. One road straight up to the railway station and back again - probably a 10 minute stroll. Other than the Great Northern you won't get any nearer to the train station. Peterborough gets a bad rep (in SOME ways unfairly) - there are some great bars. Charters is very near to that hotel and is a real ale bar on a boat and then there's the Brewery Tap right opposite the railway station which brews and does fantastic food too. I'm sad not to be able to make it this year but we're in Cornwall. A real shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
