IMDE group accommodation booking

Garr

Don, in our deal we've got an evening meal included (this applies to the 10-bed dorms). You'll probably find that some will take this option, some will do what was done last year, which was to go to the local pizzeria every night.

Spaces Meldy? in the girls Dorm?

Wont you need a bit of space for when I come to visit?

Plum

I would have though that you would want it as cramped as possible to stop them escaping;

oh and I have made room for the massage table in the van ...... I chucked Mouldy's bike out

Bouncing Barlist

You got any extra room in the van for my bike? dont worry if you havnt but it will be obviously easier for me that taking it by air.

I'll defer my bagsy for 1st go with the massage oil!

M...eldy

Plum ,I have my stern look on.

debbo

Are there any rooms at the YH booked from the 19th?

And do any of them have a free bed for the night?

My room is from the 20th, but I'd like to arrive on the 19th if possible - so I can recover from my flight hangover before I have to do any race preparation.

Garr

All mine are from 20th Debbo. Sorry.

debbo

That's ok Garr. I'll maybe just have to change my flight to early thursday morning and not drink on the plane so as not to waste the day...

Garr

I need to make final amendments to the group booking at least one month in advance. Last chance folks or the remaining beds go back to the YH.

Everyone who still has something booked with the YH but doesn't need it, I suggest you think about cancelling it soon or you will be charged up to 80% of the price of the room.

Lindi - Livin' the dream :-)

I think I already told Meldy but just confirming that Lucy will be in my room so doesn't need a bed in the girls dorm.

Sure this isn't the best place to advertise but I have a spare bike bag if anyone wants to borrow it. (assuming the box I have borrowed hasn't returned to it's owner!)
Mail me direct if you want it.

M...eldy

right Garr, all mine are cancelled so Ailsa and I are in with your booking now!

Firestar

and me :~D

Plum

Nooooooooooooooooooo

Bouncing Barlist

Havnt we still got space Plum, surely Firestar would relish the opportunity to be in the pro room, I hope we're having a party every night (eve of race excluded).

Oxy and I have already made a pact to get pi$$ed Saturday night )

Bouncing Barlist

Wonder if there is a world record for how many pints you can drink the eve of an Ironman and still complete?

Garr

All the above acknowledged. Thanks.

Garr

I think I should probably make you all aware that the dorms are not full. You may be sharing with a handful of randoms. You'll be in the majority though.

Kanga M

Better warn the randoms Garr, not us

Plum

Our four bed is full Barlio

Me
Chuckles
Ms. Chuckles


Though if Firestar is as nice as she was today she can bunk in with me.

Garr

FYI people in the dorms. I've finalised things with the YH and I'll try to send you all e-mails tonight letting you know what is owed.

Leo, I got your payment. Imp, when yours and KKs filters through e-space (it can't be long now) I'll pay off what we owe.

Firestar

errrr Plum, seriously, there is no way I'm sleeping anywhere near Carlos and neither will you unless you have ear plug and dont mind vibrations. His snoring is like a pneumatic drill!

And that's from a nearby tent - just to clarify.

smiley lady (M.)

Chuckles snores as well! Maybe we should book Mrs C into the girls dorm?

Garr

Incidentally, anyone finalising their contracts with the YH, make sure you check your contract dates and make sure the number of nights and guests are correct on the front page, and the itemisation page. I'm getting the dorms contract re-sent for the third time now. If I wasn't anally attentive to detail, Debster and Sezz might've ended up with Barly and Plum for a night!

M...eldy

Eeeewwwwwwwww that could have been messy!

Garr

Youth Hostel dorm dwellers, you should all have an e-mail from me now.

Leo and Ergo, I forgot to mention but I assume you'll sort payment for your sherpa's out.

Hope to hear from you all soon.

Garr

Thanks - I have sent e-mail

I'm in the hostel as well. HTey say they are fully booked so if anyone has a double room with shower they would like to swap for one without, can you let me know?

smiley lady (M.)

Plum forgot to say earlier. THe Chuckles are only over Sat and Sun night but I'll cover them for whatever number of days you've booked the room for.

Plum

Okey dokey

About 6 million euros should see me straight ................... well it is not everyone has the pleasure of bedding me and Barley at the same time

Garr

For those waiting for an update from me, my work e-mail is down at the moment, and I've been using that to contact the YH. Hence not much happening just at the moment.
