Hi everyone,
it's only 5 week's to the Blackpool week-end,if you intend to go and want to book a hotel perhaps now is the time to do it,and get a better deal with an advanced booking.
If you would like to stay at the Grand Hotel (the convention and dinner venue)
ring the Grand Hotel on tel. no.01253 627977 and ask for Kerry Eastwood, mention you are attending the Film fair that week-end for a special rate.ie Bed,evening dinner and full English breakfast for £70.00 PPPN. two people sharing a twin room £50.00 PPPN.

If you would rather stay at a Different hotel here is a list of hotels and their Tel.no's, all are no more than 6 or 7 minutes walk from the Grand Hotel.

A spotless B&B is across the road with a excellent breakfast. Quiet and peaceful should you be looking for a more intimate stop over.

As I already shared, here, no need to spend a fortune to attend the Blackpool filmfair. I paid £ 21.50 for a return coach ticket from London and £ 47 for three nights in a small hotel (as long as I have a bed and a shower, even outside the room, I'm happy). Travelling that way allows me to attend several events all the year long and still keep some cash to spend for films and material [Smile]

Personal factors have sadly caused a gentleman booked into The Grand to inform me that he cannot now come to Blackpool. Just in case by any chance someone is now seeking a room there for Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights, please let me know and we can see if the Grand will allocate the room to a new person.

Room has now been snapped up, so no longer available.

Hi Adrian
I would like to step in, if possible.
But I can stay only for 2 nights and need to travel back to Berlin early sunday afternoon.
Is it possible to get 2 nights (from friday to sunday)? Otherwise I pay for 3 nights if I only had the chance to stay at THE GRAND.

Thank You very much in advance
Oliver

Hi Forum members and those going to Blackpool this week-end
its confirmed we can welcome another oversea's collector to the Convention. Oliver (Feld) is flying in from Germany (Berlin) he will be arriving on Friday and will join us for all the activities and the Convention Dinner during the week-end If you get a chance say hello and welcome him, a fellow collector we've e-mailed each other more than once and he seems a very nice guy. See as many of you as I can there
and safe journey's..
