It says £6 per person per night on their website... I think we'll mention that when we ring to book?

Oooo!! "Campfires Allowed" !

Hi Wolfie,
The website requires updating with the new camping price of £7pppn - with the cost of living increasing dramatically the Miners Standard have had to increase their charges too.
Please do not upset the apple cart with them as it has taken Bev and I many hours of negotiating and some cash to get to this point in organising the event. In all honesty I think we probably need their venue at least as much as they need our patronage.
see you there mate.

"In all honesty I think we probably need their venue at least as much as they need our patronage." Quote thingy !
Absolutely agree, I loved it at the square and compass but alas they buggered up the license, let's hope this one becomes an annual event, well done Bev and John

Guys, as I’ve previously indicated, I’m dead keen to attend this rally, but I’m trying to work out the logistics of it all.
My wife (Jane) and I are holidaying in Italy (inc. visiting her extended family) till June 27, then flying from Treviso to Heathrow that day. Jane has a sister living in Nottinghill, where we’ll be based.
My questions, I guess, are - how easy would it be to get to the rally from London?
When would I need to secure accommodation for us by? The glamping sounds okay!
Is there anything else a non-local should think about?
Thanks Steve S for the offer of a bike, sounds great, but I won’t be dragging along riding gear from Aussie sadly. I’ll be happy just to be a spectator … and just be there.

As John indicates, there are probably 10 trains a day from London up through Derby-Alfreton-Chesterfield. Or for full flexibility you could rent a car and drive, about 2.5 hours from London.

[GWB]

Wow, who needs AA route planner, just ask John

[Akashi Classics]

Jeff i know who you are now

[Akashi Classics]

John,
Thanks for the detail. That will certainly get us out of London and up to Matlock.
Since my message, I’d done a bit of further research, and figured this …
Train from London to Matlock on Friday.
Meet you guys at Matlock for the dinner.
Maybe taxi, or hitch a ride, to The Miners to stay in pre-booked accommodation for 2 nights.
Enjoy Saturday.
Back to Matlock and train back to London on Sunday.
Simples … hopefully

[johnnymoped]

Evening gents,
Not sure yet how many of you guys have booked for camping / glamping or sleeping in your vans / caravans / motor homes.
Please don't forget to book at the pub - it gets very busy and is extremely advisable to book a pitch.
Anyone who is staying at the Premiere Inn Matlock and wants to take advantage of the mini bus service needs to let me know - so far I know of four people.
If I don't see you at Fleetwood - hopefully see you at the Peak rally.
Cheers.

Plan to come Friday to camp

[johnnymoped]

Have you booked yet Sam?

John,
Can you count Jane and I in for the mini bus service please.

Will do Jeff

Spoke to the landlady of the Miners Standard last night - there has been a good response to the camping and glamping - which is great news.
There are two glamping pods still available - please contact the pub directly if you want to book one.
See you all soon.
