The Towcester Travelodge has rooms for £32 Saver rate - non refundable. Not sure how long this rate will hold - I currently have a booking at the Premier Inn down the road at Silverstone at £54. I may cancel that and go for the cheaper option, although the food at the pub next door was very good last year when I stayed there and it is a couple of miles closer. After last year's brilliant day on the GP circuit I am really looking forward to this year.:D

Fran's just booked us into the Saracens Head Hotel (Pub) Through LateRooms.com its £24.95 for the night of 22nd Mar ( but £75 on 21st & 23rd). Seems like a good deal. Says its 4.6 miles, 12 mins from the circuit. EDIT Ah yes. Looks like its a few doors down from the Travel Lodge. Who's up for a meal and a pint the evening before - say 7:00.

[quote=Gareth Evans]...I assume it was an open invitation...[/quote] Indeed :) Always nice to have some company. Hopefully we'll get a few more takers. I'll get a table reserved closer to the time when we've got some idea of numbers.

Staying at my usual haunt - the Travel Inn at the Green Man. Not certain what time I'll be arriving, but won't be 7:00-ish. May join you for a drink later depending on time of arrival, which I'll know nearer the time :)

[b]Travel Lodge Towcester[/b] My brother has booked a (hopefully) twin roomat the Travelodge Towcester for £29, so I will be cancelling my Premier Inn. I will be the bleary-eyed (he snores!) but nonetheless more handsome one!:o Up for a drink if we get there at a reasonable time. Rgds, Paul

[quote=GForce2010]Lists are fun. Just to confirm, is that me on the list or do we have 2 Frazer's?[/quote] Its you. We tend to confuse ourselves at MGoT, posting under forum names and using proper names for bookings and other stuff too :D You can check names by looking at peeps profiles ;)

[b]Sorry I missed you[/b] I was in the bar at about 2000 and stayed for a while, but did not see anyone evidently from this bunch so left about 2030. Next time I must take a mobile phone number and a photo - or wear something MG I guess. Next time. Rgds, Paul

Aww, sorry you missed us Paul. We had probably adjourned to the restaurant down the stairs by 8:00 Next time then :)
