Redemption Hotel

I'm pleased to say that we can now announce our new hotel for Redemption.  We'll be at the Britannia in Coventry.

The hotel is keen to have us. 

We have it in the contract that we're allowed to decorate doors and put posters all over the place (as long as we use white tac and don't stick stuff onto wallpaper), so there will be no repetition of the problems that we had with decorations being taken down at the Hinckley.

We're in the centre of Coventry, close to the cathedrals, lots of restaurants within easy walking distance. I can't speak for them all, but the one I tried when we visited the hotel was excellent.

Even better, the hotel is just the right size for us. Our membership should just fill the hotel comfortably - so, no mundanes trying to gatecrash the disco or complaining to the hotel about all these weird people in fancy dress.

Come along, have a ball, dress in whatever you like and decorate your door with the most imaginative decorations yet!

The web site is ready to take your memberships and hotel bookings!

Is a fantastic hotel - I have been there in the past many times for another organisation usually with 500 delegates, observers etc etc

One suggestion: Get it all in writing. They can be tricky.

But other than that it's just across the road from the bus/coach terminal and there's a swimming pool 500 yards away and the Transport Museum across the road.

The Wetherspoons around the corner always seem to know what they're doing with beer and food too!

Breakfast was always great but if you're going for a "formal dinner for 200" eat first or else try to subsist on rubber chicken. Shouldn't be difficult to do but I've never really had a good one there.

I don't think the committee would have announced it before getting everything in writing!

It's all in writing, right down to being allowed to go bare foot as long as you're willing to sign a waiver.

Who goes bare foot? You?

Me for one, but I'm not the only one. Hotels are often too warm for me to be comfortable wearing shoes. I go barefoot in my own home in summer.

Don't forget there's a Sainsbury's next door

This sounds awesome! Well done, [livejournal.com profile] watervole (and everyone else, of course)!

Sounds fantastic, and just up the train line from my current address too :-)

I promise to join in more next time, as i won't have a dissertation to hand in in a weeks' time...

Bah! Now I have a dilemma - I've been sucessfully boycotting all Britannia hotels since being treated so badly by them while attending Cult TV at the Adelphi. I don't want to miss out on Redemption, but neither do I want a Britannia hotel to benefit from any of my money.

I'll have to have a think about this one...
