OK, it's taken me a while to get organised, but here it is: probably the
last Legofest of the millennium.

Venue:  my house, just outside Sandbach, Cheshire. About 2 miles from
        J17 on the M6, OS grid ref. SJ 746 594, or there abouts.

Date:   currently a choice of two. Either the 27th of November (my
        preference) or the 11th of December. I think the December date
        may be more difficult, because of the inevitable Christmas
        parties.

Time:   from sunrise on the Saturday, until everyone goes to bed.

Format: the same as the Southern Legofest, which was a great success :-)


Accommodation:

During the day, the house will be a Total Lego Zone. It's a modest 3 bed
detached, so there's a reasonable amount of space. Certainly enough for
a train layout, or maybe a pirate quay and a space port?

For sleeping over, there's a comfy sofabed downstairs and a spare single
upstairs, with space for at least four on the floor scattered about the
place.

There's also a small hotel in the village, which has rooms priced at
between £30-40 for single occupancy, or £60 for double/twin on Fridays
and Saturdays. I was toying with the idea of hiring their function room,
until they discovered that I wanted it on a Saturday. They use it for a
restaurant in the evenings, apparently :(

Jon's already volunteered to cook breakfast, so I know I'll be there!

Have I covered everything?

Please let me know if you can come, and which date is best. And any
suggestions for activities, or a theme will be gratefully received.

I can take either day, and I whole-heartedly intend to be there... classrooms of kids permitting! If I need to mark umpteen exercise books I may be a little late, but I *will* be there! David Leese Tony Priestman wrote in message ... (...) (25 years ago, 29-Sep-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)

(...) Remember the third millennium doesn't start until Jan 1st 2001 :-) I'm sure we'll get at least 3 LEGOFests in before then. (...) Not too far away this time :-) Autoroute reckons a 1.5 hour drive. (...) I don't mind either one at this early (...) (25 years ago, 29-Sep-99, to lugnet.loc.uk)
