Jos1 - I thought you wanted to be team leader???     

Let's make it a worker's co-operative. If the first person to have a bit of time on their hands could google Bilberry Court - which seems to be front-runner in the accommodation choices at the mo - and find out more about block bookings, e.g. can we book individually, or does one person need to pay a deposit, that would be good. I'll do it, it I get five. Just thinking someone else might be able to do it sooner.

And someone - Booboo? Panda? - said could it be a bank holiday…  Now, I think that may raise problems with other people but who knows. We need 2/3 dates now to take votes on?

I've got nothing booked for next year at the mo, so dates are ok with me I'm not an organiser, I normally leave things until the last minute so don't rely on me Bilberry court sounds a good option I think I think we should book it once we've got Christmas out of the way though

I'll try and ring Bilberry in the next few days.  I'm going to do a rough head count, based on those who've said yes, and I think I'll aim for a weekend in the Easter Holidays, which according to the diary here is
7 - 14 April.

If anyone's not happy with that, shout now!!

Hi UKS

I think we might all have different Easter holiday dates...  As Easter Sunday is 20th April, our holiday dates are 14-25 April... just to put a spanner in the works, although if it's a weekend, I guess it doesn't matter.

As a local I will not need accommodation but can get hold of all the school holiday dates and let you have those so that we are all aware of what might be a good time.
Serious warning though - as it is 450 yrs since the bard shuffled off his mortal coil, accommodation will get booked up and unless you like crowds the weekend around his birthday  April 23rd ish will be horrendously busy as there is always a parade on the Saturday and Sunday with posh lunches but then again it's also a good time for star spotting like Judi Dench etc....
I will find out what the plans are and post them on here for discussion.

Our Easter holiday dates are 14th-28th April

OK, so second half of April has it at the moment.  (I'll double check on those Easter hol dates I have as it seems odd they'd be SO different.)  Will try and get to phone Bilberry with initial enquiry in the next couple of days. Just to get prices, availably, how deposit needs to be paid etc.

Hello,

Depending which of those weekends it will be in April, may have to dash off, expecting to be auntie again on the 15th, for 10th time  (younger sister's 1st baby), so will have to go and cuddle a fresh, new baby!  Thankfully though, not far from Bilberry Hill.   

Love & Light
