OK I just called:-

http://www.oldroyd-guesthouse.com/

and they've got nothing left for Friday :(

In terms of Splash Landing it's not too expensive so I might just book a room!

Old Royd is full but Tiggy & 8Ball have booked into a different one - drop one of them a mail and ask ??

Or there's a travel lodge / Inn nearby - do a search for Uttoxeter

If you can book a room at splash landings go for it :D .. Don't forget the price includes the theme park entry the day afterwards

Here you go dude !

SPLASH LANDINGS ( Thursday 18th May )

We will endevour to meet in the reception area at around midday, I know some people will be getting there earlier but we should all be there by lunch time

You will get your Splash Landings passes to enable you to go swimming but we won't be able to check into the room until 3pm. They do have a left luggage room where we can store everything until our rooms are ready

Have fun, have food, drink and a giggle until about 6pm where we will then go back to our room to get ready for the night ahead

I will book us into the " All you can eat " buffet unless anyone has any objections ? Will book this for about 7.30pm. This is the best option for a big group. After food we can retire to the bar area of either hotel and relax for we have an early start in the morning !

FRIDAY 19th May - 8.30 am We will meet in the reception area and CHECK OUT. Put all our luggage back in our cars ( some people arriving via choo choo will need some help with this please ) and we will then be able to enter the Theme Park ( via a shortcut from the hotel ) with our Early passes. Leave our cars parked in the Hotel Car Park and join the rest of the gang


THEME PARK PEOPLE ONLY ( Friday 19th May )

Because the Splash Landings folk will already be in the park we will meet you at the fountain just inside the entrance at 10AM. We will not be waiting any longer than about 10 minutes ! .. If you are late then you will need to get in contact with someone to try and find where we are !

Once we are soaked through , puked our guts up and generally had enough .. those of us staying at the B&B will convoy back to freshen up ( again some people will need a lift there so help if you can )

Once we are all suitably washed and dressed we will find somewhere to eat ( not everyone likes Indian and I'd rather not split the group up again but if anyone has specific needs please post and we will TRY and find somewhere to suit everyone )

We'll head back to the B&B once our food has gone down and relax in the dining area with some alcohol and have a jolly good chinwag !!

I have PROMISED the B&B owner that we will NOT leave a mess and have asked that he leaves Bin Bags out for us to leave the area as we found it... we MUST clear up after ourselves because I am not prepared to break a promise

If I find out anyone has left a mess I will personally hunt you down and unleash the Piggyslap of DOOM !!!1111

Saturday we'll chill out and head home at our leisure
 
OK booked Splash Landing and I'm staying at the White Hart Hotel in Uttoxeter (which is apparently just off the High Street).

Wicked, looking forward to putting some faces to names :)

WOHOO !! :D

Nice one mate ! .. You'll have a blast :)
 
I'll be driving up from Cambirdge on Thursday morning and then back down again on Saturday (sometime) so if anybody needs a lift as longs as it's not 100's of miles out of my way I could maybe pick somebody up (if required).

I'm a bit concerned about Splash Landing as I'm not Mr Six Pack (by any stretch of the imagination) but sod it :D

I've been working far too hard just recently and this is going to be a "blow off some steam" event for me ;)

We're staying at the woodgate. They only have 2 rooms, and it's £50 a night including breakfast, so we were really lucky to get the cheapest rooms we could find for Friday.

With it being such a small place we're staying at, we'll have to make sure we're back there before the owner's specified curfew, but we're hoping we can come to the b+b for a drink.

Let us know what's happening on saturday, as it'd be nice to see whoever doesnt need to dash off early before making our way back to rainy old Lincoln :)

LOL, I doubt your as big as me :o

I'm a bit :/ about swimming but I'll have short with me in case I can summon the courage, no one is going to be nasty anyway, if they are I'll drown them :)

I don't think anyone is Mr Six pack mate !

Last year ( when I was slimmer ) I thought I would be a little self concious but to be honest we are all WAAAAAY too busy having a laugh to worry about what other people look like !

I'm about a stone heavier than last year and currently on a diet and gruelling exercise routine - My body is far from perfect but I'm with friends so I don't give a stuff ;)

Having now spoken to Gilly, I reckon I need to be off around 10am, but that's not too bad I guess.

We are dependant on Piggy and Des, personally I'd like to be back in time to get up to the London meet for a few hours but whatever :)
