For some reason... I didn't read pens as... pens! LOL

.... sounds daft, but would it be wise to start booking hotels now??
Also, has Mark confirmed it's location?

What did you read it as then Alex ;)

I vote the travel lodge down the road from Reflex!
Hopefully no Government meetings and Thousands of coppers?

That one we stayed in was rubbish :p
Well that other blokes room was anyway.

The one I stayed in previously... was...

Birmingham Central Newhall Street Travelodge

It was really good and it had a fantastic bar and cafe for breakfasts!
Not stayed in broad street one so can't comment.
Next time I'm staying in TOWN and not near NEC. £30 for a return taxi?? Screw that!!

Darren found it funny, and replied that he had cut off his ponytail to avoid looking like Mr Rossi.

To answer an Earlier question, I am currently in the process of getting a refund from the Travelodge on Broadstreet as it has got to be the worst Hotel, I have never* stayed in, in my life. I definitely vote for the Birmingham Maypole, which we stayed in last year though.

*I went to a concert in November and had booked a Travelodge 3 miles from Broad Street as we planned to go out after for my friends Birthday. I had a phone call on the day saying "The hotel is currently undergoing a refurbishment, we have moved you to the hotel on Broadstreet."

We got there, checked in and got in to our rooms...The settee's were ripped, the rooms were dirty and the sheets were dirty...and we paid over £40 each for the rooms! If it was just one room that was grotty, we'd have asked to move rooms, but it seemed like all of them!!!

So, we didn't stay there and ended up going back home :(

...Oh yeah, count me in for BPM :D

No. Next question please. :p :D

What usually happens is that about a month or two beforehand, someone reminds Darren that we should book hotels, he searches diligently to find the best deal, and when he posts it, we all pile in behind him. Quickly. Because as they sell the rooms, they put the prices of the remaining ones up!!:eek: :eek: :mad: :mad:

For what it's worth, I'd vote for using the same five star hotel we used last year. ( I wonder if Darren will get glass in his window this year? Serves the cheeky git right for snagging the cheap rooms first. :D :D )And the same Steak House. And the same taxi driver, he was a star.

:D Despite the complicated logistics, me and Mrs Alchemy are looking at coming over for BPM. I'm looking at the Birmingham Maypole Travelodge as suggested by Scott (SJS) is this a good base, and close to many fine drinking establishments? :D :guinness: :guinness:
Fine base, yes. There is a splendid steak house nearby, where plentiful, reasonably priced well cooked meals may be purchased. Steve and I availed ourselves of a lovely Dark Mild at £2 per pint in there. From here, it alll goes downhill, sadly. :( :( :(. Knowing what I do now, before we leave there this year, I shall attempt to be, if not inebriated on the stuff, at least waterlogged. :D :D :D Next stop Reflex, where we drank something fizzy, I forget what. :daft:

I'd like to get something booked soon too.

Shouldn't we take advantage of their promo offer?
I already have. :p :D :D I have informed others, I can do no more.

Did you all stay there last year Charlie?
We did. Unfortunately for Charlie, he wasn't old enough to play with the Grown Ups. :( Or Penfold and me. :D :D

Charlie, if you do venture out to BPM this year, my but your learning curve will be steep!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: I shall attempt to shiled you from the worst of the excesses, by stapling Penfold's trousers to his shirt, and rivetting Shaun's shirt firmly closed. The memories of those two exhibiting themselves last year is indelibly printed on my mind!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :( :( :( :( :( :(

It's about 5 miles from the drinking establishment we all ended up in last year at the City Centre. Big Taxi, share the fare, shouldn't be expensive. I've boooked into the maypole...total cost a tenner.
Oh yes, spend £150 more on lights , and save £1.50 on hotel insurance?:confused: :p :D :D Good lad Shaun, you know it makes sense. ;)

Just a heads up to you and anyone else who is unsure: you can book the hotel and pay an extra £1.50 for the 'insurance' in case you need to cancel. I'm sure £1.50 won't break the bank! (But obviously check the T&Cs)

Well, after the last couple of years of promising myself I'll attend BPM, I've put in a day's holiday from the day job for Monday 3rd October. I've told my boss that I'll be out of the country for the weekend (a white lie but at least he'll not be tempted to coerce me in to changing my day off and working that day!) and I've been looking at booking at the Maypole Travelodge.

The room is dead easy - £19 for a double room (I'm a big lad so a big bed is called for - doubt I'll get lucky and need to share it with someone!! :( ). The option of the insured room at £40.90 isn't really an option as I can afford to lose £19 (though I've promised myself I'm not going to be losing it this year!!).

However, there is an option which has got me in two minds. Has anyone else gone for the "Breakfast Bag" option at £4.05? This seems to be a continental breakfast delivered to your door. Or does everyone else meet up for a proper Full English somewhere else? Or is anyone planning on doing both? Continental breakfasts aren't really made for the big built amongst us!! ;)

So, I haven't completed my Travelodge booking because of this dilema. As a BPM virgin, I'm interested to know what everyone else does for breakfast. Your opinions please!!

Corabar Entertainment

07-05-2011, 01:44 AM

People tend to do their own thing the following morning. Some will go off straight home, some will go back to BPM for the Monday, etc, but as for breakfast - I wouldn't bother with the Travelodge one. There's a Subway next door, and a cafe opposite (it's ringing bells that it's a supermarket cafe, but I can't remember exactly.... maybe someone else will)

It'll be great to have you there this year, and to finally meet you! :thumbsup:

I've been trying to book my train tickets but, apparently, you can't book more than 12 weeks in advance. I've been checking out prices to give me some idea and I can get a single ticket each way for £29 each but the cheapest not off-peak return is £170!!!

Well, if people don't stick their name down in the poll, it's going to be difficult to work out who's where and when. :p :p

Seriously, do get your name down if you're going so that everyone knows who to look out for.

Couple of cheeky pints on the Sunday, BPM on the Monday, result!

Judging from last year's behaviour, that's still a lot more grown up than some senior forum members. :( :( :(

Looking at train tickets now. Still not available for the right time but for 2 weeks before the cheapest return tickets for two of us comes in at £175! The funny thing is I can get tickets to London, one way, for £6!! :eek:

Try getting the train to London and then from London to Birmingham?

If anyone is heading to Birmingham from the North on the train, and it's cheaper to stop at Tamworth or Wilnecote, I don't mind picking you up from there and then driving to the NEC.

Buying a £10 ticket online gets you access to the full 3 days whereas it would be £15 per day if you pay on the door. Also, you get just under £30 of music downloads.

I paid for mine online on Sunday so I'm just waiting for them to arrive. Does anyone know if the music downloads is via a voucher sent out with the tickets as I've not heard anything about this by email?

Attending and staying in bull ring travel lodge on sunday.
Going again on the monday at some point and working out where to stay.
Attending Derek Pengalys seminar/workshop on the Tuesday all day.

Was going to do the monday but I fear I may be a bit hung over.

i will print name badges for everyone next year too!

Give us a list and I will do just that. There were people there I talk to all the time and had no clue who they were.

No I did not know everyone was staying there. i booked a £10 a night room and that one was the most central so it seemed a logical option :)

I stayed the for Iron Maiden the other day and its a brilliant hotel. The room was fantastic and it has a great (24 hour) bar downstairs.
Parking also for £1.50 for 24 hours round the corner :eek: It would cost you at least £10 in Southampton.

The crap hole me and alex stayed in last year was not worth £5 a night.

And that's probably just the way they like it :D :D

Tell Steve Handley that :p
I only met him on the way out and he went mental that we had not had a chat as he did not recognize me.
God knows why (a-he did not recognise me b-he would want to chat to me in the first place ;))

The decision to book Maypole was made in January & the poll has been on this thread the same amount of time.

Parking is free at Maypole & we brought our own beer. I know which I prefer.
