[russ]

[mattifor]

Thanks must have missed the posting

According to the listing on UK Buy and Sell -

Entrance

£5.00 for visitors ...very reasonable indeed

£3.00 for guest speakers at the event...bit cheeky!

Still, I'm sure this will be a very popular event.

[Jamie]

I think it might be that you get charged another £3.00 to attend the speakers.

[Capricorn]

Wish they would put up more then just a front page.

I also read:

£3.00 for guest speakers at the event.

the same as Runoffshed did, and thought that it wasn't a good deal for the speakers.

P.S. Where is Birmingham:D:D:D:D:D:D

[brantuk]

Hmmm..... It's next year - bit early to say - can't commit based on a single webpage saying "Details to Follow".

But if it looks like it's gonna happen then I dare say we'll go to it

[tom.yates]

I think it should be a great day out perhaps we could all meet up and chew the fat

[michaelmorris]

Depending on what the speaker/exhibitor list ends up looking like, I'll probably be there.

[solarboy]

i live in rugby about a half hours drive up the M6 i will be there instead of the long trek to london for astrofest the best part of 100 quid odd it costs to park the car and travel to london by train with lunch ect and thats before you buy anything

[iamjulian]

Sounds good to me. Thanks for sharing.

[tom.yates]

The add has been up dated the price to see all the speakers is £3 great price if you ask me what a bargain cant wait

[Hypernova]

I'll be there if I can, Birmingham is not too far to travel for me. It just depends whereabouts in Birmingham it is as if it is out of the way as far as public transport is concerned I might not be able to get there. Twas easy enough to get he NEC by train as it has a railway station built in.

[beamish]

I certainly fancy being there

[moocher]

It`ll be nice to catch up Tom, its been a while.....

[tom.yates]

[mike bacanin]

Russ, Alan,

look forward to seeing you there!

The ad in astrobuysell said the venue would be off J6 of M6 - not the NEC. And also the venue is not built yet (well finished at least).

Here is the full details posted on astrob&s U.K. Astronomy Buy & Sell

I know it isn't to be held at the NEC, I was saying that I found it easy to get to the NEC via public transport and that I hope that the location of this event near to J6 is accessible for me.

[klytus]

Hmm think i'll have a damn good try to get there even if its a couple hours away from Doncaster.
