Just called the number - got transferred to some guy in the USA? But he did make me a reservation of a room for the 17th - yippee!!!!! (Even if he had never heard of the MINI2 Charity Ball, he certainly wished he had a MINI!!)

See you guys next year - getting excited already

Delighted, Harpo!

The date is perfect - falls on the final Saturday of the half-term break here, so we may well come over for a few days, visiting friends and family (maybe a Plant Oxford factory tour

Room booked, ball tickets booked, now where's my tux????

Ian

Carlos. · Jul 17th, 2007, 09:44 PM

SoggyCornFlakes · Jul 17th, 2007, 09:55 PM

great to see everyone rushing in gain - book me down danno

:d

I'll sort the hotel out tomorrow - seems the central reservations are letting us down like last year - they will get a rollicking from Northampton then it will be ok, in the mean time call during working hours and book it locally, and ask for Laura if you have problems !

Rach '03' · Jul 17th, 2007, 09:56 PM

Gravity · Jul 18th, 2007, 11:22 AM

Has everything been sorted out with the hotel now? Rang this morning and they told me rooms were block booked for Friday not Saturday?

I was told the same

So asked to speak to Laura as suggested by Soggy

Job sorted

But yes they still need to sort out their booking proceedure and allocation.
Seems to me the 50 rooms etc have been block booked for us but the hotel has assumed they are all taken, which is obviously not the case.

Black Pearl · Jul 18th, 2007, 11:37 AM

I'm in whoop whoop! It'll be my birthday that weekend too so it'll be like one big birthday party hehe!

Just left a message for the hotel and they are going to call me back...fingers crossed!
