My approach would be to look online and pick a property that allows you to book (not request a quote) online and set the time for a one-hour meeting to see what price they offer. If that's acceptable to you, book it. This is the path of least resistance. If location is an issue (actually planning a meeting) and the property does not allow online booking, then call the sales manager (probably not the first person to answer the phone and definitely NOT a FDC) for the property to work out the details. The most important point is to get confirmation someone at the property knows of and uses the Group Posting Tool as that is the only way you will get the 10 nights from MR.
