2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 29, 2011 2. Administrators Posted July 29, 2011 Hi guys, I know it's a bit early, but I've opened negotiations with the Holiday Inn at the Red Lion this morning to find out what kind of deals they're prepared to do for us. I'm told they will get back to me later today. Jabo Quote

1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted July 29, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Posted July 29, 2011 Thank you Sir! Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted July 30, 2011 Author 2. Administrators Posted July 30, 2011 Grrr. I now have to wait until Monday and ask again then as their 'systems' won't allow bookings 50 weeks and 1 day in advance. Jabo Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 1, 2011 Author 2. Administrators Posted August 1, 2011 OK, preliminary price is £121 per room - Single, Double, Twin, whatever - which is already better than this year (obviously not as good as the Cambridge price though). I'll call them tomorrow and see what else they can do. Jabo Quote
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted August 21, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Posted August 21, 2011 Jabo, Did you get a chance to follow up on this?, I know the dates are still under review. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 21, 2011 Author 2. Administrators Posted August 21, 2011 It's on hold Col while we wait for the show dates to be confirmed. There's no point til we know when that's going to happen. Jabo Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted August 21, 2011 Author 2. Administrators Posted August 21, 2011 Update from the TFC website (19/08/11) "We promised to keep you updated on the date of Flying Legends 2012 - this is where we are at present (19/08/11): The dates for Flying legends 2012 will be announced soonest, further to detailed discussion and agreement with various parties Many thanks for your continued patience" So that tells us basically diddly. I'll continue to monitor the situation. Jabo Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted September 24, 2011 Author 2. Administrators Posted September 24, 2011 It's now been more than a month since the last 'weekly' update (their word not mine) - How long does it take to decide that the Olypmics isn't taking place during the time Legends is usually on?

Jabo Now that the dates are known, any update?, and is JP coming or able to get a deal? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 24, 2011 Author 2. Administrators Posted October 24, 2011 Had a most unfulfilling conversation with 'Becky' at the Duxford holiday inn today. They won't do us a group deal due to the airshow being on and they are charging a flat rate of £179 p/n which would be doable for me if sharing a room, but is way expensive otherwise. Sorry chaps, but I'm out of ideas. JP? Jabo P.S. no good contacting the red lion either, all their bookings are being handled through the hotel reservations line. Quote
Flyboy583 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Jabo, Here is a list of all the hotels in close proximity to Duxford Museum http://www.laterooms.com/en/p1301/pv125273s/k17183667_imperial-war-museum-duxford-hotels.aspx?gclid=CMKb2o3NgawCFcod4Qodh2umRQ&WT.srch=1&ef_id=uAVOcE5cQToAAMBA:20111024151011:s#qsdvxm Should we try calling a couple of them? Duxford Lodge hotel seems to be crawling distance away Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 24, 2011 Author 2. Administrators Posted October 24, 2011 Ok, I'll do that Quote
1. DDz Quorum Sid Posted October 24, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 24, 2011 They won't do us a group deal due to the airshow being on and they are charging a flat rate of £179 p/n which would be doable for me if sharing a room, but is way expensive otherwise. These prices are a rip off and an embarrassment - ashamed to be English when git's like this capitalise on an event . Quote
Flyboy583 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 Jabo, Im happy to call a couple if you want? Cant expect you to do all the work How many rooms are we asking for? Sid, It is crap hey!! Completely agree.. this country is going insane hey... Oh well, cant do anything about it, so lets try and get the best deal possible.. even if we have to drive a bit.. Quote
Zooly Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 No way am I paying ludicrous prices like that! Lets hope there is a place a bit further afield. Quote
1. DDz Quorum FoolTrottel Posted October 24, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 24, 2011 We need the JP-Cambridge combo ... Quote
2. Administrators fruitbat Posted October 24, 2011 2. Administrators Posted October 24, 2011 calling JP, calling JP, step awaaay from the sheep. Quote
Flyboy583 Posted October 24, 2011 Posted October 24, 2011 You guys give a whole new meaning to the word "spooning" Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 24, 2011 Author 2. Administrators Posted October 24, 2011 By all means, call away Flyboy, just keep me updated so we're not duplicating effort. I'll do the same. Jabo Quote
Flyboy583 Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 No problem Jabo, Ill start calling.. How many rooms am I asking for? Quote
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted October 25, 2011 1. DDz Quorum Posted October 25, 2011 What are the dates? Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted October 25, 2011 Author 2. Administrators Posted October 25, 2011 30th June - 1st July Col. I'd say 10 for starters Flyboy, and a mix of singles, twins and doubles (probably only a couple of these) Jabo Quote
