-" or should we just start exercising own own initiative in this area."

Yep initiative is in order, we will oragnise the factory tour, the barbie, the music and venue. Where your heads come to rest is up to you guys!

A couple of us are planning on coming from the US - we need to now if it will be June or August so we can make plans.

Thanks,

Jeremy

If anyone is interested, I can use what little charm I have and arrange for some good discounts on good hotels, ie 3 or 4 star. I should be able to get you a good percentage off the going rate.

If enough of you are interested i will make a few phone calls next week. I can arrange for an agency to negotiate deals with the hotel of your choosing. Ie any Hilton, Marriott etc. 80% of all UK hotels are under the scheme that I am thinking about.

All you need do, at this stage, is say....yes Mick I am interested and yes Mick I will buy you and your delightful wife a drink at the pub.

I will then make arrangements for the agency to source a good hotel at cheap rates on your behalf, the final choice of hotel is yours, the agency will negotiate the best price and do the bookings etc.

The procedure would be that you ring the agency stating what you want with budgetary limits etc. They will ring you back after making a search and if what they have suits you, they make the booking on your behalf.

You need only contact the agency.

You pay the hotel bill on departure.

Regards

Mick

Jon,

Are you sure that's a good idea? If you do, then I hope you are only travelling from Europe... otherwise you'll be knackered beyond belief.

Well, I did get a haircut recently, but that's not really the same.......

It was a Homer Simpson-esque "woohooo" at the thought of a barbie _and_ and a tour of the Naim factory.

Looking forward to it

Sounds like a great day out. I will definately come.

Phil S.

Paul

When you say - "give us a ring and we'll send you "a" ticket". Does this mean you can only have the one?

I mean, are you saying that you can't bring the trouble and strife?

P.

On your post 30th March, you said count me in, one ticket. That is what we have allocated for you. Check with Jane on availabilty of spare tickets.

Thanks for that Paul

I now have a free rein to enjoy messen.

Look OUT and get stokin'

See you there

P.

If I've been allocated tickets I'm afraid I now can not make it. Can we make this an annual event or if not have one next year as well ?

THere you go, you can bring your mrs.

Please put me on the standby list for a couple of tickets.

Cheers
Martin

ANYONE WISHING TO GO ON THE STANDBY LIST FOR TICKETS SHOULD CALL
JANE on 01722 332266 in the afternoons.

Gonna be in Dublin so my two tickets are going on the reserve list.

Paul, are you still offering to FedEx that sausage across then?

Next time..

Steve

Thanks for the tickets. We are looking forward, especially the factory tour. But what are the meeting arrangements? Do we meet at the factory or the pub?

Regards, CB
PS I have just booked a session to demo some Fraims versus Quadraspire (massive difference in price, but the dealer says the new Naim racks are "stunning"). They certainly looked good in the shop.

Tickets arrived today! Now I'm looking for an overcoat with pockets large enough to hold a NAP500

More seriously, Paul, when the arrangements are finalised, would it be possible for my two tickets to be included in the final group for the factory tour? It's just that due to business commitments it would be difficult for me to be there by 10:30.

Thanks,

Chris L

Chris,

I checked the times, and a previous message from PS stated that the event is likely start at 11.30am. This is good, because it is likely that I will travel to Salisbury from London on the morning.

Paul, if there is any change in the times then please let us know as soon as possible.

Andrew
