HGI at Hatton Cross. It is the most convenient hotel for the sims. It is usually a reasonable price as well.

Indeed. My thoughts also. I booked it for 60 quid.

Looking at flights tonight too. Anyone else flying in from DUB?

Just to make sure to get the right flight, BAFT site lists 6pm as a suggested arrival time in their sample. Should we aim for that?

Yes, so I think we will probably set off from the HGI just after 6pm. We need to report to Vanguard House about 6.20pm and it is a decent 10-15 min walk from the HGI.

Don't cut it too fine with the flight times!

My annual leave request has been approved, so I'll get flights and hotels booked tonight :).

KARFA,
20-Oct date is looking better for me if I can make the change. I'm guessing that no4 tbc --> to be chosen. Correct? Better avios options from the USA on the earlier date.

Hi. Those are the two I am waiting on, and my intention if either couldn't do it would be to move someone across from 27th to 20th. I should be able to let you know soon, and if I can move you across I will.

I'm flying from DUB on BA835

I have added flight and hotel information to the Wiki. I hope this is alright, feel free to edit if needed.

bhbloke Jul 25, 2017 10:43 am

It's in the diary, happy to be in a group of 3 if necessary.

KARFA Jul 25, 2017 10:52 am

Can I just say as a word of caution, the groups are not completely fixed yet, I did say in the earlier post there may have to be some minor changes.

To help provide some certainty, I can say that Groups 1 and 4 on 20 October and Group 3 on 27 October are not going to change. Also if you said you could only do one of the two dates (so Pilot37, EI147, Florens, Soddon, datschi, and mikeec) you should be on the correct date and you won't be moved.

I'll also do my best to move headinclouds to the 20 October.

Other than that could you just wait a day for me to firm it up please. I hope I shouldn't have to change anything but I might have to depending on what I hear back. Shouldn't be very long now.

Thanks :)

That's very kind of you. I hope it works out, but if not, so be it. That weekend of the 27th is when the UK goes off summer time and the USA does not. Schedules are adjusted in odd ways for a few days during the switchover.

I took the liberty to book myself on the same flight.

Thanks for organising this KARFA, I'll hold off booking anything for the time being.

Andrea3108 Jul 25, 2017 2:08 pm

Thanks very much for organising this @KARFA

I'm looking forward to it :-)
