Any suggestions for a hotel near the Vic? Cheap is good but also closer the better. If anyone is after a roomshare on a more expensive hotel then im happy to help out.
Any ideas welcome, cheers

These few are all in Sussex gardens, a short walk to the Vic. I"d advise you check them out before booking though,

I have another question regarding travelling :-)

What is everyone"s plan on transport for the UK Champs who lives outside of London? I just entered without thinking about it, now after going onto google maps it has dawned on me I have to drive through London :S. As I live in a small town in the Cotswolds driving somewhere like that is very daunting. Are most of you going to park and ride? Or drive straight in through the congestion charge?

Cheers Charlie

Park and Ride is, I suppose, an option but not really a practical one. What you would save by avoiding the congestion charge would easily be eaten up by the cost of public transport.

BTW...There is no Congestion Charge on Saturday/Sunday or weekdays after 6pm.

This does not bode well for Tallinn.  ;D

Speaking of which, I also heard the conversation in Swansea he had with the Betfair rep.

Tighty: "Do you have any contacts in Tallinn?"      ;D

Travelling sorted now for London. I noticed the vic was only 0.5miles from paddington station, so to avoid driving in I am going to drive to didcot, get the train and walk. Then taxi to the hotel in the evening. sorted!! ad1 ac

Charles, if you"re gonna drive to Didcot you might as well just jump on the M40, go straight down it and it takes you pretty much direct to the Vic.

Tickets all booked now. The M40 is still a bit of a distance the otherside of Didcot. Remember I don"t live in Bristol thats just the casino I go to ;) . Taking the train solves all the problems of driving through London when I have no idea where I am and also where to park + it only cost £23 return. Just think it will be alot less stressful and will be more relaxed.

I"m wondering whether we should have separate threads/topics for each separate events to keep things neater and make ideas and suggestions easier to find.

Any thoughts? I"d be happy to set this up.

ryanair is a cheap airline,from the airport i would advise you to get the 16a not the 746,747,748 as these cost 6 euro per jurney,the 16a would cost 1.60. All 4 busses go to o"connell street the main street in dublin.
