Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 > This thread is for anything to do with the October TPA meeting. > If you intend to come along to the meeting or have any questions, please post on this thread by selecting reply. Please don't start any new threads about the meeting, with different titles, lets keep it all together. Hello , Count me in, please. - I may bring a friend with me, but at present chances are 50/50, as she might have to go back to the States before October... I'll let you know closer to the time. May I make a suggestion? If you want to keep this thread going for everyone to reply who plans on coming to the meeting in October, then this thread should somehow be kept recent; else, within a day it will be burried among the daily mails and nobody will find it again. I am totally clueless when it comes to computers - just hoping someone will have the 'know-how'. Also - I thought it was an excellent idea to have name tags last time. I think it was Sheila's who painstakingly produced them all... so a big 'thank you' again to him in retrospect. I hope we'll have tags again in October - perhaps even with our respective -ID's on them (?), which would be a great help in putting faces to names, particularly when Christian names are doubling up.

Guest guest Posted June 20, 2010 Report Share Posted June 20, 2010 Also, this discussion should go onto the Chat Forum. Remember though there are many members who don't use the forum, they only come on when they need some information, or they have information to impart, so I still feel it would be better to write to just the one person who is compiling the list of guests. Problem with the username being written is well as that these name tags are only small. The larger one's come with a plastic casing which work out VERY expensive, and it would be the larger one's that would be needed to have both names on. - can I just mention that some people with poor eyesight might have difficulty in reading writing in pale blue - is it possible you could pick another colour which is sharper to read?

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Numbers are growing on this meeting! In a couple of days I'll put up a list of who is going... Anyone thought about where to stay yet? I'll probably go for the travelodge option. It's cheap and cheerful. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I was thinking about travelodge as well , do you know if there are any near. I think I`ll probably come down on the Friday night and stay until the Sunday. I`ve just been looking at flights......Yippee I love a bargain...£2.02 there and £2.02 back £28 with flight supplements, tried to book it but sites went down so will try again tomorrow. I`m looking forward to it Love Tess > > Numbers are growing on this meeting! > > In a couple of days I'll put up a list of who is going... Anyone thought about where to stay yet?

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Don't forget the same weekend is the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham so accommodation in the City Centre could be difficult to find, and if found, they seem to put their prices up at such times. Look at the cheap, cheerful but basic hotel mentioned in the Newsletter. This is the Etap, and the room rates are the same for both Friday & Saturday i.e.:- £55.00 per night per double room. This is a basic hotel but with good clean rooms for 3 people (with a bunk bed) plus flat screen TV – a comfort shower and separate toilet. Perhaps if quite a few stayed there, they could share a taxi(s) to the Chung Ying Gardens. http://www.etaphotel.com/gb/hotel-5678-etap-hotel-etap-hotel-birmingham-centre/index.shtml Luv - Sheila Numbers are growing on this meeting!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 (This is from Miriam, .. was sent to me but I think it should be here). Do you know whether the restaurant will be offering plenty of low carb options? After all, according to Dr Peatfield we are all supposed to be following a low carb diet. ie. will I be able to fill up on the main dishes without having rice/noodles etc?Miriam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Hi Tess, I looked at the travelodge on Newhall Street, which is 0.8 miles from the meeting.... It's £45 per night, but the Etap mentioned on the newsletter looks like perhaps a better bet, as it has a bar and parking. £55 per night per room. .

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 There will be no 'options' for the meal as it is a set menu - what is in the newsletter is the agreed Chinese meal - you can have all or any of the options there, as they will be in bowls to share on each table. If anybody wants anything different, they should contact and arrange it with him, as it states in the newsletter. The telephone number for the Restaurant is there also.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2010 Report Share Posted June 22, 2010 Would you mark me as a definite now please? I'm making a mini-holiday of it, so have booked a week in a country cottage starting from the day before the meet. While on the phone to the owner to make the booking, we got chatting and it turns out that him, his wife and their son all have underactive thyroids. How spooky was that?! Oh, and may I join the -No-Mates-Group please? ;o) in Kent > > I'd like to come too, please, but am still looking at accommodation, so would you put me down as a possible at the moment :-) > > Thanks > in Kent > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
