We're now almost 2 weeks in to the period that the hotel rooms are reserved exclusively for us (they said they'd keep them for one month). Time to commit to attending the meet and booking a room where all the action will be!

In a little over a couple of weeks, the rooms will be open for Joe Public to book (and the Peak District really does get booked up early!) so, come on folks, book a room (password is A8 Forum) and join us. We promise you a good, family-friendly weekend with a beautiful, but not too fast or far, drive and some unique 'attractions' that you, your partner and offspring will enjoy.

So, just 9 rooms left I think so, if you miss them, you'll need to find alternative accommodation, which will become increasingly difficult as we get closer to the date. And, in a just 2 week's time, the rooms at The Durker Roods Hotel won't be reserved for us and may be booked by Joe Public.

So, if you can plan 8 months ahead, and commit to the 2018 Annual Meet, book your room ASAP!

OK, no further meet promo required! Dean (well, his car) and MJ will be celebrity guests and I now expect a mad rush for hotel rooms simply to see Dean's car and the 'Queen of D2 A8s'. Now that they're both coming, I'm thinking of 2 things:
1. Charging extra for those not already registered to come and worship MJ and Dean's car
2. Placing a hefty bet on which car will win the best D2 competition.

It'll be great to meet you guys in June next year! Welcome indeed - I really hope we can put together a meet that you guys (and Pete P) will enjoy as much as the 'old timers'.
