The Event 2010

[catsaremad]

sorry to put a dampener on my previous post but I think you can only use your own Tesco vouchers, that's why they have your name on them.

sorry :cry:

ooooooooh Della the good luck fairy stood there was about to shake her magic dust wand and BAM............................ the mean bad luck fairy gave her a glasgow kiss and destroyed our dreams..........................:cry:

Yes it says only valid for a 2 night stay and also for a min of 2 people, so only good for those of you who are sharing. I've only got about £6 worth as I do most of my shopping at Asda, but think this will now change in preparation for next year, lol.

Check out the hotel prices on-line, as they are much cheaper at the moment. I've just saved £50 by cancelling my booking I made direct to the hotel and re-booking on-line with immediate payment and no breakfast included (I rarely eat breakfast anyway).

Thanks for the info, have just juggled money between accounts so I can book on line, but got to wait until tomorrow to confirm the on line booking, then I can cancel the one I made by phone. I only ever drink coffee for breakfast so yep, I'm up for finding a mucky D's or a starbucks, it's a date lol

How true is that!
At the last event we had booked brekkie but they served it an hour later at the weekend and we had to be at registration the time it started so we never got any then either, just pastries from the coffee shop mid morning.
And we never got any dinner the friday night the restaurant was severly understaffed we eventually got a a table at 9.30 and our food arrived at 11pm, by then we were all cheesed off, tired and ratty and the food was sent back as it was undercooked, we told thm to forget it! premier in for you. Hopefully we wont have that problem at this hotel.

Really lol I thought that was lovely that hotel...we managed to get breakfast sunday morning and that was really nice...we didnt get chance to eat on the saturday night tho as we barely had time to get ready in between the day event and the party! Im glad theres a sit down meal at the party this time!
Oh and I wont be wearing stupid shoes this time or anything uncomfortable for that matter! God my feet were killing me saturday night I ended up walking round in bare foot I must be getting old because im prioritising comfort above anything else this year! lol x

This is a tiny bit unfair to the Premier Inn and also this is not a reflection on the Event as we all chose which hotel to book into. I have stayed in many Premier Inns and never had a bad experience yet, even though dinner was late, it was the company I was there for and not a flash dinner LOL.

The Event II is being held at the Island Hotel so hopefully they will be prepared for the influx of people.

My problem was the traffic last time and we had expected to arrive by about 4-5 ish but didnt get there until about 8.

Oops my bad, sorry that you got that impression. My quote had nothing to do with the event but the hotel. I have stayed at a few Premier Inns, but that one was blatantly understaffed and couldnt cope with the amount of guests. And their brekkie was an hour later than usual.
You guys were lucky and managed to get your table before us that friday evening.
It still didnt spoil our experience of the "The Event" and I am looking forward to this years even more than the last if that is possible.
And yes the company was great too...
And also looking forward to not having to travel from the hotel to the venue too.

The Premier in was fab but then we didn't eat there, or try to, on the Friday night. Wish I'd had time on the Saturday night to before the party but didn't.

I remember there was one of the two mornings where breakfast was too late and meant we had to leave prior to eating. That said, we had a leaky sink in our room that meant when I went to the loo in the middle of the night I was woken by standing on freezing cold sodden carpet when I washed my hands. It was meant to be fixed during the day on the Saturday but wasn't. To make amends they refunded a night of our stay. It was an unexpected and much appreciated gesture.

Also, the poor barman was accosted by several of us in a slightly worse for wear post party need for more to drink on the Saturday night and did his best to help us out even though he knew he shouldn't. :lol:

I'd go back there, thought it was fab.......
