I'm flexible.

I think we need a fresh thread for the evening before pre-meet meet!

Can a mod split this banter off into a new thread "North Weald pre-meet, 28th May", ta.

There is talk of staying in a nearby Travel Lodge type place which a few have booked into and meeting in a pub nearby

Re: North Weald, Car Limits Handling Day - Thursday 29th May

Get onto Travelodge website sharpish (Travelodge - Great value accommodation across the UK and Ireland). I just checked and found at least 2 rooms at £29 per night for the 28th. The later you leave it, the more they cost. Full rate there is £56 per night.

Edit: Forgot to say, search saver rooms.

Booked the room now after 2 hours of getting annoyed at that verified by visa/securecode system.

What a fecking joke, plus using JavaScript, Flash and VB Script and still not working inside of firefox is a p*ss take.

Anyway all done

Yep, bit of a PITA all of that TBH - can't use one of my cards through that system for some reason. Tried to set it all up and now it's blocked

Anyway,

Steve

Re: North Weald, Car Limits Handling Day - Thursday 29th May

Been told it doesn't work on firefox and that it not telling you that is acceptable.

I'm going to be contacting MC/Visa then the FSA over it as I find things like that using cross site scripting, various client side scripts and forcing weak passwords is a joke

Stuart,

Have a look at the list and see who has still not paid, then perhaps pm those who have not and ask if they can contact you first if they are going to cancel with Car Limits, the handling people.

Looking at the Car Limits list there is still seven to pay.

Oh, and btw, FFX user here, no problems with the Travelodge website at all, just made sure I turned No Script off first.

I'm still to pay but will be doing so at the start of the month.

If I do have to bail out for an unforseen reason, I'll give you a heads up first though stuart.

Re: North Weald, Car Limits Handling Day - Thursday 29th May

Just a reminder to those who haven't paid yet - you probably should think about paying soonish - not sure what the exact t&cs are mind.

I'm not going to be able to attend this now, so if someone else is interested, take a look at the "for sale" thread I'm about to put up.

EDIT - for sale thread HERE
