Title: Windex 2008
Post by: Londoner on July 31, 2007, 07:24:39 pm

A bit early perhaps but for those of you who do not know Windex 2008 is being held 27th and 28th March at the Ricoh Arena, Phoenix Way, Foleshill, Coventry, CV6 6GE.

This is probably better for most people than the Excel in London

My big gripe with the last one was that I didn't get the letter until the last minute.

We will definitely have to arrange a Cleanitup meet this time. And some way of identifying ourselves. There is no point in being known to one and all on the forum as "Sid the Shammy" and then walking round the arena with your real name on your badge. No one will know you.

Any suggestions?

I think we should have a dedicated hotel and start booking straight away.

I will investigate our options over the next few days

Good idea Dave is there a Travelodge or something nearby. Or would you prefer something with a bar.

How about a badge like this on sticky lable or card pinned with safety pin.

Not sure if the Cleanitup name or logo can be used as it looks like you are representing the company.  It would need permission from Mike. So maybe just the CIU and names etc:

just a badge with your screen name on it would work.

Just had a look the nearest travelodge is 8 miles a way.

a bit too far

Thats not too far as long as its not on a remote stretch of road miles from civilisation like some of them are.

Pittmonkey, badge idea looks good. How would we get one out to all the members of the forum? Perhap the badge could be picked up from one of the stands.

Hi All

I live 5mins from the ricoh in nuneaton and as much as it hurts me to say its a pretty impressive place.There is a hotel (days inn) just been built 2min drive to the ricoh.Its on an ind park(bermuda) and next door to it is a bowling alley,cinema,frankie n bennies,mcd's and a pub/restaurant.It would be best to book this 1 as cov itself is not too good for hotels etc.I may even put a couple up myself unless david sells me some of his work in st ives.LOL
