Default Annual Meet 2018: hotel booking and attendance list

As promised, here are the hotel details. Please note that, when booking (because the hotel is effectively closed to other bookings for a month) you need to quote a booking password: "A8 Forum".

As I said last night, there should be around 22 rooms left (rooms 19 & 17 are being refurbished but will be ready for June). Rooms 20- 28 are doubles (23 & 25 have facilities for disabled people) and 28 also has a double sofa bed.

Rooms 30 - 38 are also doubles (38 also has a double sofa bed). Room 2 has twin beds and rooms 9, 17 & 19 are pet friendly rooms.

The hotel is Durker Roods Hotel in Meltham (close to Holmfirth). Telephone 01484 851413 (and don't forget the password: A8 Forum).

And the rates: £70 per room, per night, including breakfast.

More about the planned programme of events once we've checked out a route and possible 'attractions' (the possibles list is already too long!).

Please copy & paste the list and add your name when you've booked (even if you book somewhere else).

1. Mark (moltuae): Room 1 booked 2 nights (1st & 2nd June 2018)
2. Jim (The Laird): 4 poster room booked 2 nights

Finally: gone, but not forgotten.....
1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors.
e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course. (internal dimming mirror added later)
1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer.
And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!
