I've got a good idea for a hotel and some activites for the day time.

looking at the prices of the hotel the 15/16th looks like a good deal..

let me know what you think?
Anely and I are certainly wanting to come along, but can't offer any assistance, again, sorry

15th/16th which month?

Looking at the calendar for next year, it's August for a Friday/Saturday. Certainly interested.

Apologies, yes it would be the second weekend in June the 14/15th. Once we get an idea on numbers I’m happy to start contacting hotels etc so if you’re interested let us know

I’m guessing that this might be based around one of Connor’s other club meets, which seems like a good idea - a tried and tested venue and activities! Gets my vote and we could extend the weekend to visit family in the area.

Pretty sure we're up for it too; the previous weekend we've definitely kept free for Audi socialising but 14th/15th should be OK too according to SWMBO (whose birthday is the weekend after that)!

I recall there was a meet in The Lakes that we couldn't make (Brackenrigg 2012?) though we did end up staying literally just "up the road" from there on a subsequent family holiday.
Nearest family now is York so we'll probably combine this with seeing them.

I thought as much, but I tend to go by booked nights (13th/14th). Either way, I'm up for it. Someone else in the family can do chauffeur duties, if required.
