Alright guys anyone staying in a hotel on the Thursday night and if so which one as I will be coming down early.
You will be on your own on the Thursday night mate. We only have people staying over on the Friday night. if you look above our posts there is a link to a local Premier Inn.
I will try and get over on the night if your staying at the hotel in Hall Green. I have a course on the Thursday for 17 lads from Italy so not sure if i will be around!
No probs matey, managed to sweettalk the receptionist at one of the Travellodges in the town centre and got a room for a tenner so quids in.
What time are you open. I'm planing on leaving at 6am should take 2 hours ish. Is traffic bad in that area.
I will be there from 8.30. If all can try and get there for 9am and i want to be starting demos by 10am. Traffic shouldn't be to bad. All depends on if you come through Birmingham town center or not. We are on the outskirts. About 1 mile from Cadbury World (chocolate place)
i would advice anyone traveling down from north of Birmingham not to leave the motorway until you get to the junction highlighted in red on the map. The blue spot is the training center. Also i have added in red the best junctions to get off if your traveling up from down south. If you leave at one of these junctions (in red) you should miss traffic. Trust me if you get off above these junctions you can add another 45 mins onto your travel time!
Travellodge in the Birmingham centre B15 1AY. Missus is going to drop me off in town later this afternoon and will see a few 'sights'
