[epf-dev] Update: EPF European F2F Meeting June 19-21
|
Folks
I've been contacted by the Marriott Hotel in Reading (see below) who tell
me that they are getting demand for other group bookings. They will honour
the June 1st guarantee but stress that after that it's strictly on
availability - and there probably won't be any.
Of course, this might just be a bit of salesmanship on their part but
"please book early to avoid disappointment" etc.
Alternatively, if there is a strong preference for another hotel chain,
please let me know. The Hilton does not have a hotel in Reading. There are
a couple of Holiday Inns but they are not in the centre of town. There is
also a Millennium but it is hugely expensive. The Marriot is the only large
hotel commanding a town centre location. This makes it handy for finding
something to do in the evenings, which is why I picked it.
If you have any questions, please get in touch. My contact details are
below.
cheers

Announcement: EPF European F2F
Meeting June 19-21
Hi folks
The next European face to face meeting is confirmed for June 19-21, in
Reading, UK.
The meeting will be hosted at Xansa's UK head office. Directions are
available on the website -
http://www.xansa.com/about/locations/ukoffices/reading/
There are a large number of local hotels to choose from, with most of the
usual chains represented. I propose the preferred hotel as the Marriott in
Reading. It's a good hotel, centrally located in Reading. Details here:
http://marriott.co.uk/Channels/globalSites/propertypage/UK/LHRLR
The hotel rates in the UK are generally higher than North America and
Europe. The standard room rate for this hotel is £145 per night room only.
I have agreed a slight discount on that - £135 for room and breakfast for
Sunday and Monday night, rising to £140 for the Tuesday night. There are 20
rooms available on this allocation and they will be held until June 1,
after which you'll only be able to book subject to availability. To get the
discount you need to phone the hotel between 9am and 5.30pm BST and quote
booking reference xan3512. Alternatively, you can book online and send an
email afterwards to get the discount applied on checkout. The email address
is: rhi.lhrlr.reservations@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. You might want to cut &
paste that :-)
A number of people have already confirmed their attendance - thankyou. Can
I now ask anyone else coming to confirm with me please? This will enable me
to get visitors passes organised with Xansa.
We're working on the agenda at the moment and will firm up nearer the time.
If you'd like to propose an agenda item, please get in touch.
cheers
