Booked two rooms!

We've booked a second room as my wife will come too!

We may come with Fulvia and Thema 8.32 (new addition)
or... as Natalie is learning to drive our Citroen 2CV we may be flying a french flag.

But we'll be there :-)

Hi all,

The Midland Hotel have informed me that all remaining rooms for the GNW weekend have now been put on general sale as was the agreement when we visited last September. I don't know exactly how many rooms we have secured to date (have requested numbers from the hotel) but please if you are considering booking for this wonderful event in truly super accommodation, don't leave it too late or you may end up being disappointed as this is a very popular venue and the remaining rooms will fill up quickly.

Obviously we are in unfamiliar times with the pandemic and some people are naturally still worried particularly those from overseas who have different rules to our own, but it's nearly three years since the last GNW so please do try to get booked- if it gets cancelled due to Covid you will receive a full refund- to enjoy a little bit of unfamiliar super driving roads in wonderful surroundings with lovely like minded people.

Thanks & keep safe.

Paul

When I made my room booking on the 18th October 2021, I was asked to phone them this week to book a table if we wanted to eat in their restaurant on the Friday 20th May, which I have just done.  I thought I would share this with you due to our previous experiences during these Covid times that Hotels struggle with staff shortages so the more warning they receive of demand, the more prepared they can be by drafting in enough staff.

Thanks to all who attended and/or participated in this event- Hope you all arrived home safely or to your onward destinations.
After two years in the wilderness I think everyone really enjoyed it and the Hotel was a fantastic choice and the staff really looked after us.
If anyone has any photos- particularly of the evening meal (Gala dinner), please could you pass on to me by Email as I would like to get some photo's/summary in VL as even though it's one of the traditional LMC annual events (since '86) it rarely gets much coverage in the magazine or the website post event. Cheers.

Paul

Thanks Paul and Claire for a brilliant weekend. As you say, probably the best venue I have visited for an LMC event. Sorry, no pictures of the meal. We must have been enjoying ourselves too much.......
