Yes I was wondering if it did depend on the time of year whether they would offer any discount. I am still waiting to hear back from the Hotel.

It's not bad as it's a proper Hotel type place. I think i got it for 75 per room per night last year with the RCCGB discount. There are cheaper B&B's about, but i guess it's what you prefer... one thing I would say in favour of the hotel is that the bar is open late, albeit typical hotel bar prices! But after a good night of evening entertainment, there's always that 1 extra drink available Back to top Happy Helen Junior Hyper Poster Joined: 14 Oct 2007 Posts: 137 Location: Bristol Posted: Sat Jan 26, 2008 2:44 pm    Post subject: Yes, I have managed to get a room for £75 per night so that is really good.

I'm now looking for Gong Show acts so if you want to have a go, please e-mail me (andy@rccgb.co.uk) with the subject heading "Gong Show" You can do anything - sing, juggle, dance, magic, ect., and you don't have to be good - in fact the badder you are the better!  So go on, have a go!

I have just phoned the Big Blue, and there's no RCCGB discount this year   The cheapest they could offer was 115 prpm which is way too much really, so i've used a B&B instead. I tried the one that is the "feature" on the booking forms (The Langroyd), and there's a load of people staying there, so should be good anyway   _________________ Matt Coaster Police RCCGB : 2163 My Coaster Pics Site:- http://mdw.fotopic.net/ Back to top hazzzzeeee Junior Hyper Poster Joined: 01 Oct 2007 Posts: 196 Location: Portsmouth, Hampshire Posted: Mon Feb 18, 2008 4:10 pm    Post subject: We have stayed there the last few years and its wonderful!!!
