Hello everyone,
After many cups of tea, hundreds of e-mails, a few carefully worded phone calls and some strings pulled, the date for the UK/Europe vacuumland meetup has been finalized as 31 May 2014.
The meet up will take place at the Best Western Nottingham-Derby Hotel in Long Eaton. This is a very central location for all UK members with easy access to motorway links, rail links and also very close to East Midlands Airport.
The event will kick off at 1pm, but please arrive earlier if you're bringing some cleaners with you so we can get set up.
There is no set itinerary for the day as of yet, so if anyone has any ideas for activities during the day, please post below. The US convention has previously done things like "best restoration", so we could run something like that? Quizes, competitions etc. Happy to discuss. Equally, if anyone wants to a "show and tell" or presentation, please let me know.
A 2 course evening buffet will be served, along with unlimited tea's and coffee's throughout the day. We're also more than welcome to bring along any cakes or pastries that anyone wants to bake.
Tickets are currently £30 per person, based on the estimated head count. However, if this goes over and above our expectations, this will be reduced accordingly. I am also awaiting confirmation of potential sponsorship for the event, so this could be reduced even further.
Included in the price is the buffet, tea's and coffee's, use of the room including laptop hook-up to the projector for presentations or picture displays, a "golden ticket" which will be posted to you and a souvenir t-shirt.
The hotel have offered a discounted rate of £59.00 per night B&B for attendees.
Now, so far, I've not paid out a penny. The hotel will hold the booking for us for 6 weeks before I need to either cancel or pay a deposit. That means I need to have confirmed a MINIMUM of 20 attendees who have paid up by 06th August 2013. Please post below to confirm your attendance and what machines you intend to bring with you. I will get back to you with payment details, but this is being done via paypal so all attendee's will be refunded should the turn out not be high enough. Equally, if we get more than the expected amount of attendee's, partial refunds will be issued to all guests.
I hope this is ok with everyone and hope to see as many of you there as possible. Again, we have until 06th August to confirm this with the hotel and if the head count is not big enough by then and enough people have not paid to attend, it will sadly be cancelled.
Any questions, please ask. Post below to confirm attendance.
Many thanks,
Chris
