2016 Owners Meet - Accommodation Thread
Here is our hotel.
http://castle-hotel-llandovery.co.uk/rooms/ We have negotiated a special tariff for the event. Single occupancy - £50 Double occupancy - £70 Some of the rooms can take 3 or 4 people for each additional person in the room £20. All prices are for B&B and per night. We have held every room in the hotel and there is plenty of parking and a large function suite we can have for free for the Saturday night. Our contact there is called Anna and she is very helpful. Once all the rooms are gone she will help you find rooms locally. There is another hotel and a B&B within walking distance and Dezzy can pitch his tent on the lawn! A couple of requests please. If you are a non 8 driving forum member and you want to attend, the priority in the Castle goes to 8 owners please use the overflow accommodation. We will keep 2 of the rooms reserved for any continental visitors until nearer the event. Only fair they travel all that way they get to stay at the centre of events. That leaves 15 rooms up for grabs. Some of them are twins, so if singletons can pair up that will save you money.  CtL

Dumb question time. If we then go on to Ireland will we need to stay 3 nights in Llandovery (Fri, Sat, Sun) for the "full Monty"?
