Just had a thought!

We have just booked the Friday night (25th Feb) as well as 26th to make it a nice long "kid free" weekend and wondered if anyone else was planning on doing that too?

I thought it might be nice to meet up in the bar and/or have a meal together perhaps.

Chatting with some folks last night I think a few will end up stopping over on the Friday too - especially those with distance to travel who want to do the Run as well.

The Hotel have said they will allow extra nights at the sam,e rate as the Ball itself so make sure you quote teh Ball when you book teh Friday too

I stayed the extra night on the Cotswold run but as I am co-ordinating the South West and South Wales convoys to the event on the Saturday, wont be a ble to it this time.

The buffet chinese and Indian restaurants just opposite the hotel do good cheap food. Had the Indian on the Friday and Chinese on Sat - both are good - so just go with what you like

i can concur with Soop, the buffets at the indian and chinese restuarants are great value. We celibrated Neil's birthday on the friday night before the main event. see my post below for ideas

It is likely that Max and I will stay overnight at my base in London before travelling up to Northampton in the morning.

There will be last minute issues/crisis/jobs that require attention the night before, so I feel I have got to keep that night free at present

The Chinese buffet is VERY good value for money IMHO - make sure you starve yourself before you go there, and advance booking is strongly recommended

Now that we are getting an interested party for friday night, im thinking of booking a table at the rather good chinese restaurant over the road from the hotel.

The occassion being my birthday. Well its actually on the 19th of Feb, so this is close enough for my liking.

So get signed up for this.

The Chinese buffet is excellent!

And the staff were very helpful, well, they were to me

I always managed to get good services in Chinese restaurants in this country, I wonder why

I don't know, very tempted to stay Friday night, it depends how organise we shall be nearer the time I guess

Better book Friday night hotel just in case - I can always cancel later
