Just to keep everyone in the picture, I'm adding a list of attendees to the thread. So far, we have:
Nick and Roni and kids,
Val and Bert,
Guzzi,
Andi,
Bigfoot (and family, I think),
ScottUK,
Paul and Rea,
Barry,
Wooley and Family
and myself
Ta...
Matt
So... Not long now    Does anyone know of a good family friendly venue in Blackpool that we can meet in? If you are wondering about accomodation, I can recommend the Polonez B'n'B. I've stayed there once before, and it was excellent value for money. Matt. |

Well, After consultation with Roni, it seems the best place to meet is the Haven complex at Marton Mere. I've never been there, so I'm not sure exactly where... So, I'm planning to travel up on Saturday morning, and hopefully to a reccy to find the bestest family friendly place. I'm thinking about 4PM would be the best time, as it gives everyone plenty of travelling time, and we can all have some food at about that time. If anyone knows a better place to meet, let us know  . In the meantime, if anyone still interested in coming could drop me an e-mail (address in profile) with a mobile number on it, I can finalise details on the day, after I've checked the place out. Keep on smilin'  Matty |

Me - Definitely Yes. I've booked the BnB in Blackpool now. I'm staying at The Polonez Hotel in Blackpool centre. It's about 4 miles from Marton Mere, so subject to my feet and plenty of beer, I'll walk home, otherwise a taxi is OK. Rate for the single room for one night is only £25, so it's a downright bargain!!! Guzzi, I can strongly recommend this place. If you do decide to book there, let them know I recommended them, and they'll probably chuck an extra has brown on my breakfast  Kindest Regards, Matt |

well, I know that when me and a few mates went last time, there was some parking there, and my mate was quite happy parking up there for the night.

As with most journeys, I can get to the town OK just by looking at the map, but the last few miles are a bit of a grey cloud, and I usually get lost...
Not this time, though, because I've picked up my aunt's sat nav system, so I can just type in the post code.

Guys I'm sorry to say this but I've just discussed with hubby and I think we're going to have to give it a miss this time.  We just came back from a holiday which was lovely, but it did make me realise how much stuff there is to pack and how tricky it is with 3 little ones. It is 4 hours by car each way for us to Blackpool so I think it will just be too much for a weekend. Hopefully in future they will be a bit more manageable and we'll be able to make it some other time. Sorry  |
