Afternoon all

does anyone know of any hotels or b&b's near to the nec show, would be good to stay over and have a few drinks at night and put a few faces to the names.

I cant afford the Hilton   

Dont forget to highlight your badge name so we know your on the forum Wavy Davy did this last year

thanks in advance

Hi Brett,
Well just done a quick search for you and came up with the following.

http://www.uk-expo.com/bnb/birmingham.htm

I would say though if you are all joining up in the evening for a drink find out where you will be going and get a hotel or B&B near there rather than the NEC.
Central Birmingham is only a 5 min train journey and the train takes you straight into the NEC and you can get a one day centro card which costs about £5 and you can use it on the train/metro and bus all day long so a lot cheaper and easier than trying to park round the NEC and means you can drink to your hearts content.

Ian,

havent you seriously booked one yet, most of them are booked up.  The Hilton wants 174 pounds room only cheapest rate but thats in the grounds of the nec
The nearest hotels are between 1 and 2 miles away from the center and rooms are going fast

Are you getting a twin room with tosh

let us know if you get booked

Brett

[Ian_Giles]

The Hilton can go hang!
And yeah, we're leaving it a bit late I know!
And if there are any travelodges out there then a twin room is fine...no way do I want a double room .....I was never confused!

Ian

[Ian_Giles]

Mmmm, well travelodge have rooms in several hotels...but they are all doubles! sigh! At leastthey have a pull out bed!
But which ones are close to the NEC??

Ian

[ronaldo]

Ian , why not try the Hotel Campanile, 01527-510710 its just off junction 3 of the M42 and you can be at the NEC in 10 minutes from there and not a bad rate either.

Cheers Ron,
