#1 Owston meet 27+28 Nov 21-add your name here

Post by steve s »

Meet up is booked for the 27+ 28 November, so only 8 weeks to go.
it's at our usual pub, the Owston inn, just north of doncaster. Cost will be less than £20 to include buffet lunch and tea /coffee but will confirm before hand.
Arrive after 9.00am for setup, and start around 11.00am. Lunch at 1.00pm
The usual really...

Please post if you are planning to attend, or need to cancel.

Names below from previous thread.
We need a 'what are you bringing' thread too.

I will also post on a few other forums over the next week or so

Recommended accommodation about 10 mins walk
https://www.owstonhall.com/hotel/

I think it's fair to ask all attendees to complete a home covid test before setting off to protect us all.

Names so far...

The tube manual is quite like a telephone book. The number of it perfect. It is useful to make it possible to speak with a girl. But we can't see her beautiful face from the telephone number

It seems the cheapest price at Owston hotel, for two nights with breakfast and free cancellation is £210.

I need to reassess my position. :(

I've just been on booking .com and it came up with £162 with no breakfast, single room for one, for 2 nights


My only suggestion is possible sharing twin rooms may bring the price down
Lesley paid £90 per night for a similar hotel a couple of weeks ago on a deal..

Valid point Steve, but my snoring has been described as a cross between a motorbike on open exhausts and a chainsaw. :shock: :lol:

It was booking a twin bed family room at Owston that very nearly got me in bed with Andrew. :oops:

OK, sod the expense.

I'll come for just one day Steve, with Judy's health not good it would be unfair to leave her longer - it'll probably be the Saturday and I'll aim to get there between 9 and 10.

I aim to bring my DSD decoder set-up to try as a source on some systems, maybe yours? Maybe my 300B headphome amp too.
Sorry, I couldn't resist!

Have booked the hotel for Fri & Sat nights, so I'm OK for both days. :thumbleft:

Hope the fuel situation has improved by then!

Please add Al Newall to the list for the Saturday session. He's having issues logging into the forum but wanted to be added provisionally.

Thanks!
