re: THE OFFICIAL 2012 POSTERS UK MEET

In fact, looking at the councils website, there isn't a bank holiday at the end of May!
Ah, here we are, found it

"There is a a special bank holiday in 2012 to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The 2012 late May bank holiday has been moved to Monday 4 June 2012 and an additional Jubilee bank holiday will be on Tuesday 5 June 2012."

And I'm away that weekend already too Sad

Bank Holidays this year are Monday 7th May (best day of the year - my birthday!)
Monday 4th & Tuesday 5th June (delayed may bank holiday for Queenie lasting so long!) and then the usual August and Easter ones Smile

5th May would be a no from me and N+J as were having a PARTY!!!!!!!!!!

Has anyone thought of the Hemel Hempsted Ski Centre? It's apparently the biggest indoor ski arena in Europe and it's pretty easy to get to. I'm sure if there's enough of us they may even do a private hire session Very Happy

Andy and Camilla

P.S. Back out to the vets on the 17th March, for another shot(!?) of adrenalin and the odd Chilli Raiki Booze

re: THE OFFICIAL 2012 POSTERS UK MEET

Hemel?? biggest indoor arena in europe????? not even slightly close to it!!!! Landgraff in Holland is the biggest amount of sqm of slope and Bottrop in Germany the longest slope (approx 650m!!! compare that to hemel 160m?)

We had a meet at MK so Tamworth or Chill Factor(e) would be fair. Cant do may 5th racing or first sat in june same reason but happy to try and fit it in, theyve redone the bar at tamworth!! Booze Booze Cool

I stand corrected, that's why I put 'apparently' as I was told by a third person

Fraser is right hemel is no bigger than MK, though it does have a nice club atmosphere, it used to be a club dry slope. Its our nearest slope us being in Kent.
MK, Tamworth and Manchester all have more at them as Hemel is just the Ski slope and a shop and a Costa.
