Rates have now been agreed with the hotel are £70 per room per night, double/twin B&B and £60 per room per night, single B&B.
We have 30 additional rooms reserved for Saturday booking only and 45 rooms for 2 night stays. Once the 30 rooms for Saturday have gone then only 2 night bookings will be accepted at the agreed rate or single nights can be booked at the best available rate, assuming rooms are available.
Rooms will be released to the general public on the 27th April 2012.
To book please call 0121-712-7601 and ask for reservations, quoting "Griff Growl". Please ensure you get a booking reference. You are only RESERVING a room and not having to pay until check out so book early – you have been told. DO NOT book via the hotel web site or other booking web site as you will not get the special rates quoted above.
If anyone has to cancel please can you let me know as I can probably get the room reallocated. Any problems please let me know and I'll sort them.

CURRY - FRIDAY NIGHT
TBC

BBQ - SATURDAY NIGHT
Back at The White Horse, a 2 minute walk from the hotel. The BBQ will be £10 a head to include a good spread of meat and fish, and will be payable in advance on a first come first served basis as places are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment. Please contact Paul Bennett (paul.bennett@cevalogistics.com) to book.
The pub serves real ale and cider as well as the usual pub drinks. We will have the famous Growl charity auction during the evening so dig deep.
BOOKING DEADLINE = 1st JUNE as I have to pay in advance.
