I've been looking again at venues, trying to negotiate a decent deal so I'll update the thread shortly. Very central location (s) though and Edinburgh isn't a massive place and easy to get around/to the chosen venue.
5 weeks tomorrow
I have decided NOT to go to the CCR on the day of the Do like last year so as the host I definitely won't be late for this one! (famous last words eh?
)

I booked the Grovesnor for £89 and then realised I had a reward night voucher for Hikton so have booked the Waldorf. Not yet cancelled my Grovesnor booking. The prices now are ridiculous.

I will be in the flounge along with a few others (I hope!) Can we drag Karfa and Tobias_UK away from the LPGS to savour the delights of the Tattinger or Castlenau!

Just got freed up for this weekend, and whilst medics won't let me travel longhaul yet, this looks do-able.
I will look thru the thread & see what's on for flights, hotels, etc and see what I can book (if prices haven't soared). Always an amazingly great time at these!

I am afraid I can't make this one as it will likely be my first weekend after changing jobs!
I hope you all have a great time. Maybe see some of you at the next London do?

I'll announce it this weekend/Monday but it will definitely be very city centre/George Street (which runs parallel to Princes Street) and also just a few minutes from the train station.
