UKfolkies Weekend - Final arrangements

[frkeith]

I set some time aside today to talk to Graham about final arrangements for next weekend at Whirlow Grange.

Those who have already booked will have all this information from the google group but in case anyone new to the forum doesn't know about it I'll post a few details here:

The full Weekend cost is £133.26 ( Part weekend is possible )

TRANSPORT ARRANGEMENTS / ARRIVAL TIMES

We make our own transport arrangements. Directions available here: www.whirlowgrange.co.uk/contact.htm

Basically, arrive any time you like on Friday – rooms will be ready.

ROOMS

We all have a room to ourselves.

STUFF TO BRING

Yourself, instrument(s) plus whatever else you need. The Peak District is beautiful and we’re right on the edge of it so maybe some walking gear if you fancy a break from the din everybody is making. Towels and bedding are all provided.

STUFF NOT TO BRING

Alcohol . There is a 24 hour Bar with prices comparable to pub prices. It’s self-service with a pay as you go honesty box, though it might be staffed on Saturday evening as there’s a party booked in.

MEALS

Included for those here for the weekend:

Friday – Dinner 6.30pm
Saturday – Breakfast 8.30am, Lunch 12.30pm, Dinner 6.30pm
Sunday – Breakfast 8.30am, Lunch 12.30pm

SPECIAL DIETARY REQUIREMENTS

Let me know a.s.a.p if you need vegetarian meals or if there are any other restrictions on what you can eat.

PROGRAMME

It’s up to us. Apart from the mealtimes which I’ve already agreed with Graham rooms will be made available to us for Jamming, Workshops or whatever we decide we want to do. We might be a bit restricted regarding which rooms are available to us on Saturday evening because of the party booked in but that’s all.

DAY RATES

One or two people have mentioned that they’d like to come for part of the weekend but don’t want to stay over at Whirlow. This is possible but not on a drop-in if you feel like it basis.

There is a day rate of £26.65 available which includes lunch. Dinner would be extra (£16.49).

If anyone wants to come along for part of the weekend it will have to be on this basis, booked in advance.

That's about it. There are still 10 rooms available if anyone wants to sign up. It's going to be great!

[ If anyone wants to book at this stage it's probably best to email me directly: [e-mail] ]

Thanks again Keith, I'll call Graham tomorrow.

Thanks for all your work Keith. Looks great. I'll be down on Friday evening, as soon as I can. I'm really looking forward to catching up with the two C's from Madrid, Colin from Newcastle, Wolfgang and yourself. I must remember the H2!

What was the final decision about the Morris Dancers?

I saw some Morris Dancers recently and they were actually getting people to join in. A strange force propelled me to the other side of the road. I'm afraid I've let everybody down on that one. Yeah, I'm a coward.
