Has anyone else had difficulty contacting Ashley ? sent him a email but had no reply as yet

[voyager]

Not tried to contact him but very surprised he hasn't put anything on here or TMW yet. Has anyone tried a pm from here or TMW?

[mixxy]

I've mailed him and messaged him on Facebook......but nothing yet

as I said, I was the very first to reply the email, maybe I took the whole hall ? 

another thought from my side (and maybe a stupid one).
Is there anybody looking for a single room in a b&b or hotel?
Because here in Belgium some places dare to charge around 10-15 euro extra for a single room.
I'm coming alone, and am not staying on the camping site, thus looking for a place to stay (I follow your comments on hotels and so), so instead of spending extra money for a single room, why not share a double room with someone (only the room, not the bed of course  ),
and spend the extra money on some thing else?

That's the way to go I have always shared a room and that isn't too dear for only one night

Uhmmm, very good question Alan, I have not decided on that one yet 
So have to check the ferry tarifs first...

hi guys: Firstly sorry if I'm "not around here" very often. It's nothing personal, I'm not on the TMW forum very often either.

All the Gaydon info/forms has now been posted out to regular exhibitors.
I have received 3 or 4 enquiries from members of this forum recently and all those info requests will be posted out tomorrow (Monday 28th).

PLEASE BE AWARE:- As a "club" and strictly speaking, you should all display together on allocated tables. However I fully understand that there are many members and you probably wouldn't all get on those tables!  Therefore, I have sent out some "individual" entry forms, but may not have many more opportunities to do so due to high demand to attend the show from other exhibitors.

As for not being able to contact me, I cannot answer that. I check my email inbox every day and will reply within a maximum of 2/3 days to every single email.

Thanks to Voyager for posting all the info so far. It will be great to have such a well supported "club" with us at Gaydon.

All I can reiterate is, please don't leave it too late to decide if you want to attend or not. Give Andrew as much notice as you can. Space this year will be very limited due to Gaydon HMC "rules"  We have been "capped" with the amount of tables so I may...and I stress MAY.....have to cut some peoples requests for table space down a little depending on demand.
It will be another fantastic festival whatever HMC throw at us!!!!

Anyone got any queries PLEASE don't hesitate to contact me via email.

See you all at Gaydon

did you book the room at the travelodge gerdi? as the price will go up soon and may end up at about £60 per night. for ferries i always use dfds from dover dunkerque but i do not always book direct with them for my trip in march i used moneysupermarket.com and got a very good price.

No Alan, I checked the link you gave, but I don't see the Travelodge, I only see these hotels (the first one is indeed @£33, but it's not the Travelodge):

The Regent Hotel Leamington Spa from £33.00 per room per night

Further there are:

Coventry Binley from £22.00 per room per night
Rugby Dunchurch from £20.00 per room per night
Stratford Upon Avon from £52.00 per room per night
Rugby Central from £20.00 per room per night
Prices differ quite a bit (from 20 to 52  )

I`ve booked into the Days Inn ( off jct 12 M40 ) the same place I used last year and it`s cost me £55

Thats for me and my 3 lads for Saturday night only ( cost me £49 last year )

They still have rooms available

[foundationsedge]
