petecarlton Posted yesterday at 18:37 Posted yesterday at 18:37 (edited) I think the best idea would be for anyone who has a suggestion for a location - such as those above - should check out availability, cost, parking and interior facilities, e.g. available space, power supply, tea/coffee facilities, separate area for presentations, basic stage set-up (? - in very much ideal circs, I realise), and then post the results here - then we can organise a poll or choose by consensus. I suggest we aim for a date in the spring, late March/early April, but I'm not sure why. Maybe because it give us plenty of time to organise, advertise and generally get our sh*t together in good time. How's that? Edited yesterday at 18:39 by petecarlton Poor punctuation. 1 Quote

SpondonBassed Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago I've copied details of three Spondon function rooms for hire. Links are included. As stated, I won't be organising, merely supporting if asked to. I don't do the socials. It became clear to me earlier in the year that organising such an event requires someone who will be happy to use them. SpondonFunctionRooms.doc 1 Quote

That would be great, but we're talking places like Cheltenham if we go south, which is only tangentially Midlands. Then there's Warwick / Leamington Spa etc. Again, we're a bit on the western fringe. I realise that Nottingham, where we had the one I organised back in - 2021, was it? Or 2022. Anyway, it didn't suit everyone, by any means. Google says Meriden! Or Fenny Drayton. Not much help.

Richard R Posted 3 hours ago Author Posted 3 hours ago Waiting on Bentley Heath for prices and availability. Closer to the middle than other suggestions so far 😉 May is completely out for me due to two 90th birthday parties on successive weekends and half term. April is possible (when is Easter 2026?) 3rd week in June looks good. 1 Quote
