Update on group hotel rate/property.

We have the hotel all set with a great rate of single 96UKL and double 98UKL per room that includes a full english breakfast daily and all taxes/VAT. The hotel is central, on the Tube/Rail Station, just south of Camden Town and north of Oxford Street. It is a full service hotel with restaurants, 24 hour room service, etc.

The group rate is a good savings compared to their current regular minimum rate of 157UKL + per night.

There will be a window of 56 days once we announce the hotel and booking instructions with booking code to secure the special rate. It will require a credit card to hold the special rate.

The sales director looking after our group is away until next Tuesday following bank holiday Monday and once he is back he will forward the booking instructions to me. I will then post these in a thread here on "real life meetings" titled "2008 World Heelmeet Accommodations".

Of course there is no requirement for attendees of the Heelmeet to stay at this hotel. We are only using some of our group buying power to secure a special rate; help make the travel planning easier; also see if we can't have as many members attending the Heelmeet from out of town staying in the same location to save costs on transportation; and to make the group experience more enjoyable. One of the highlights of last years Heelmeet was the friendships that developed from spending a few extra days together with other members heading out and sightseeing, shopping, dining, etc.

Stay tuned for the hotel info......remember, now is the time to begin planning your attendance at the 2008 Heelmeet to save as much as possible on air & hotel.

And as Kneehighs mentioned we will also have another thread on "Real Life Meetings" announcing a Saturday, Feb 16th night time event very shortly. So count on spending the night in London, you will not want to miss the Saturday evening events following the Heelmeet.

Admirer 5577 also has more info to follow soon on pre-Heelmeet events for Friday.

Countdown to Heelmeet.....................265 days!
