Hi Xaphod,
I can confirm that if you quoted the group rate number and secured the special group rate that a full english breakfast is included.
If you would like written confirmation on this email our contact at the hotel, Lea, directly and I am sure she will respond. Lea was assigned our account from Thistle head office who negotiated the rate with with us.
Look forward to seeing you at the meet,

david & cathy

Just one thing, the preferential rate confirmation email did not specifically mention breakfast, quoting 'room only'.

BTW, if, as I do, you think that 0870 numbers are a scabby BT scam, the geographic number is 020 7387 4400, (or +44 20 7387 4400 from outside UK).

Hi New Look,
Yes I agree the City rate is a good rate but when speaking with the sales dept of the hotel they would not work with us as a group nor provide any room number guarantees. The rate that is listed in the web site is a restricted rate with only a few rooms at that rate...the price rises as room category rates get booked out and for a group like ours many members would have paid a far higher rate. Our goal was to find a room rate that would apply to all members, that is why we are asking everyone to book as soon as possible so you are not disappointed.
Appreciate the input....look forward to seeing you at the meet,
david & cathy

Would like to join up but as prices are a bit more that "the north" I would prefer room share if anyone is willing.

iloveboots · 5th August 2007, 20:09

Hi Teanna,
We have you listed for "looking for a roommate" for the HeelMeet. How many nights are you wanting to stay for the heel meet, just the 16th or will you be joining us for a few additional nights?
As soon as I hear from anyone interested in sharing a room I will PM you.
Look forward to meeting you at the Heel Meet and we'll have Kneehighs add you to the list of attendees.
Cool!
