Hi all,

Thanks so much to everybody for responding to my questions about DERT.  This is what I have collected.  If you think any of it is wrong, let me know, otherwise I'll make the group booking for the Premier Inn in the next couple of days.

1.  DERT TRANSPORT

By train:  Aisha, Jo, Katherine, Sue.  Some of you have tickets already, if you want to agree specific trains I'll leave that to you.

By car:  Ffion (+ Patrick), Hannorah and Nikki (+ Ozzy), two spaces each, driving Becky, Laura S, Nic, Rachel and Sinead.  Ffion and Nikki will be leaving after work, Hannorah is thinking about leaving during the day.

Lindsey - you don't need to come via Leeds, which I'm sure will be a big relief!

2.  DERT ACCOMMODATION

Aisha, Sinead and Katherine will be staying elsewhere.

Those people who want to stay at the Premier Inn are:  Becky, Jo, Sue, Laura S, Nic, Nikki, Ozzy, Rachel, Ffion and Hannorah - which makes ten in total.

The hotel does twin rooms, however for those of you asking about three adults in a room, the website doesn't let you select more than 2 in the drop down, and in the FAQ says: "Premier Inn’s policy does not allow more than 2 adults to a room therefore you will need to book two rooms or more if you have three or more adults in your party."  So maybe they've changed the policy recently?

Unless anybody objects, I will be booking 5 rooms - 4 twins and a double - in the next couple of days.  I will then be collecting money from each of you.  Sue, if you want a solo room I can book you that instead, but you'd have to pay the higher price, and find somebody else who's also prepared to pay the higher price.

Hope that all makes sense!  Laura F - I'm assuming that although I've bought you a ticket for the showcase, you'll be travelling and staying with Tom and I don't need to sort that out.
