Thanks a million David!

You have made a great work with this and I hope that everybody who will come to London will stay here. I remember last March when we were a group staying at the Astor Court and we quickly connected and did dinners, shopping, touristing etc together. I REALLY enjoyed myself.

So you can count me in for staying there and I will make my reservation as soon as possible. Hopefully I will find someone to share a room with because that will make the price so much better.

See you in London next year.

iloveboots Thank you very much for your incredible results on the hotel discounts. At the 2007 meet I couldn't even secure a special rate, your expertise is therefore greatly appreciated. I'll be there and share my room with Pumps from Sweden.

admirer5577 I thought that you and FreeMannWorld were going to share a room?

At least that was the impression I received from this post.

In that post you mentioned you "don't mind sharing a room with you (FreeMannWorld)" And his response was, "You are right ther.. well i am not the puchi guy. so i am glad to now you dit find me good to see 1 more time. (",) and charing a room whit me. thanks.
do i need to remding you about man bed side maners ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzz... +/- 5db.. LOL."

Hi Kneehighs,

Sorry we have been lost for the past few weeks......our 28 year old son and his fiancee had a wonderful wedding last Saturday so lots of planning and time spent with family/friends. It was picture perfect! We are two very very proud parents!

Thank you for posting the update on the hotel bookings so far at the Thistle Euston. As you have indicated Cathy and I are all set up with our room. Lea at the Thistle Euston is tremendous to work with so when y'all are making your bookings just address them to Lea.

Wow, only 224 days till the Heelmeet on Saturday, Feb. 16, 2008!!!

Hope everyone is considering booking their rooms at the hotel now as space will go quickly. It is better to hold something, all they take at this time is a credit card guarantee.
Don't want anyone disappointed, especially all of us who look forward to meeting as many members as possible at the next Annual World Heelmeet.

Cheers,
david & cathy

Very, very cool! Looking forward to seeing you guys there!

Wooohooo!

Calv and I are booked into the Thistle Hotel, Euston for the 15th and 16th.

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).

i have said it before and will say again. I can highly reccomend the City Inn Westminster.

Booked through the superbreaks.com website the 4star hotel can be stayed in at about £60 per night pperson, and is an excellent new modern hotel about 5 minutes walk from the houses of parliament.

Once stopping through london on the off chance there might be a cheap room in this place, they reception informed me that for an unbooked price they wanted £170 per night! so the above is somewhat of a bargain.

But then you miss the whole point with the Thistle Hotel because all the rest of us are there. Last heel meet a lot of us stayed at the same hotel (Astor Court) and it turned out to be the meeting point and where everybody met up before the different happenings.

Although I do not know anything about your choice of hotel I do NOT recommend to stay parted from the group. Unless you want a little bit more privacy of course.

Anyway, where ever you decide to stay, I hope to see you in London next February.
