Dates - Continued

[Cabe]

Due to a recent development, in that school children will be present on the 5th of September, a number of people have expressed a desire to move to the 11th of Sept.

so I have narrowed the dates, and I propose that these dates be confirmed at stratlan.

Please reserve comments for the original date thread, and mearly post in the poll.

[Eva_01]

Cabe,

did you go the office of education and get the term dates ? just pick the first weekend that all schools are back.

jobs a gooden.

[Guigsy]

"paging dr skills. dr skills to room cabe... thankyou"

last year was the 11th and there were still a lot of kids around. it should be the 18th tbh

[BugAlugs]

it needs to be the frist weekend schools go back, this stops the vast amount of teenagers

[Elbonio]

11th is safe i think

[Guigsy]

why be "safe" when you can be sure...

[*Tsunami*]

There are always lots of kids about, its a Theme Park :rolleyes: . I still say, go beanz, 2nd weekend in september, theme park was quiet, water park too. Previous two trips were good @ this time, why change when we know what to expect?

[no friends]

If only you went im may.ish, i could meet up with you... plus many other school kiddos :D

[Guigsy]

i have been at far less busy times than last time tbh. 5 min air ques etc instead of 20-30 mins

[Cabe]

Why Jay, I did.

they go back on the 6th (the 5th is an inset day), thus the 11th is the first weekend.

Guigsy I think you'll find im repleat with skills. So you can FO.

[Guigsy]

:'( you make baby guigsy cry

[Switch`]

ok. who wants to play with the kiddies. come on. who voted for the first option!

[andyf]

I'll wager £10 it was Afty.

11th is good for me.

[Eva_01]

Right i think we can confirm this as the 11th, as some of us wish to sort our lives out now!!!

So can we take this as the 11th and stop voting

[Elbonio]

agreed i cont think it can get more resounding than 28-2

[RocketKnight]

Warwick Uni autumn term doesn't start till the 26th of September so on behalf of all the student scum, both those dates are fine and we'll go with the flow. :)

[Eva_01]

right good,

im going to go ahead and book the Elitist bast room later on today.

consisting of me, bugs, RLH, joey, mark, adam.

see u there kiddies :D

[Eva_01]

hahar room booked :D

[BugAlugs]

omg someone as sorted my life out for me !

[Bootz]

so what are the officla dates to be booked?

And how much does hotel(s) confirm price to be.

Is it sun + mon nights? as in 2 nights, 3 days?

And when can we get into the room and when do they boot us out of the room?

[Elbonio]

by the looks of things you'll need to book off Sunday 11th September to Tuesday 13th.

Arrive sometime on Sunday, sleeping Sunday and Monday night.

Depart Tuesday afternoon.

Last year based on 6 people per room it work out to be £105 per person for the two nights.

IIRC you can get in the room from 4pm on sunday i think? Possibly earlier (I have 1pm in my head too) and have to be out by 10.30am on tuesday

Your park tickets cover from opening on Sunday to closing on Tuesday though so you can stay in the park until 6pm on the tuesday.

[Eva_01]

right the way it works this year

it is £101.50 per person for 2 nights and 2 days in the park you do not get your departing day included in the park as of 05 season.

the water park is included for all 3 days.

if you wish to use the park on the 3rd day you can buy a day pass for the disscounted rate of £15 upon arrival at the hotel.

Our room is all sorted. v thanks

[Cabe]

do we have a final date for this offer?

[Bootz]

I looked on website to book it, and the Splah Landings only seemed to go upto 4 people to book.

I shall call them tomorrow.

Eva are you in Splash hotel?

how **** is that?

[andyf]

From what I remember of '04, the rooms consisted of a double bunk, a king-size bed, and a fold-up sofa/bed, which is 4 people, so I'm wondering where the 5th and 6th people in rooms are sleeping?

btw I pre-emptively call shotgun on either top or bottom bunk in the room I'm in. Afty, if you give me any of that official shotgun rules crap, I will give you a cleveland steamer. or force you to watch dodgy porn.

[RocketKnight]

The people on the bunkbeds should be the peaceful sleepers. In my experience they squeak REALLY loudly and if you've put people on them that turn over every 5 minutes then no one is going to get any sleep.


I think it's my turn to use the king size bed this year?

you have to pay by the end of march to get those prices

[Eva_01]

Originally posted by Elbonio

yea i know but it is half the normal price.

most of us last time just sat in the pool, recovering :)

so there was no need for the park

[Elbonio]

it's not half-price is it? £100 per person is the same as last year?

[*Tsunami*]

if you wish to use the park on the 3rd day you can buy a day pass for the disscounted rate of £15 upon arrival at the hotel.

What a rip-off, you are not likely to use the pool on the final day as you lose the "room" at 10am. Why have alton tower changed policy this year? :(.. It sounds like "feature creep", each year remove 1 feature and hope people dont notice, soon we will be paying £100 just for the room, everything else will be extra.

[Exegesis]

i could go stay in the Grand Hotel in america and say other hotels a ****....

splash landings is great for dumping your stuff and kipping, what else do you need when your at a theme park.

[her0n]

well the restaurants were a pile of sh*te for a start!

[Exegesis]

the point being...
price for quality of product ratio is severely lacking.

[her0n]

exe so wants disney i can tell

[RocketKnight]

I still can't believe we have to pay for swimming towels now. How is charging £1 for rental going to stop theft? I haven't taken any in previous years but I came away with a large cheap bath towel last summer.

But I want to go on this new ride so of course I'll be going however much the towels cost. :)

[Elbonio]

towels for £1 sound good

of course if they were willing to give me my £1 back i'd be willing to give them their towel...

[lyn]

I would have thought that charging people for towels would encourage theft. You have paid for the towel so it's then yours.

[Toptotty]

OMG Hip Birthday again! :D

8 years old this year lol
