Oh man, I'm now staring down the barrel of two whole consecutive weekends of myp. Terrifying.

Date changed. Sorry Dave.
I will amend my hotel later.
Are you sure you haven't Curiod again?

No it's not.
It very much is, but it means what you wanted it to mean.
Yeah, I know, I was just replying with another double negative

(I'm taking the piss out of Gaz because he constantly whines about double negatives
) 
In Spanish double negatives are correct.

Ok so I've locked in the dates
You're worse than Curio
At last!
Date locked in! Don't forget. Sal's house purchase is pretty imminent now so should be good for people to stay.

My loft conversion work starts that weekend. I'll have to check nearer the time if I can still make it or not, sorry.
9th March? FFS. Why didn't you have it on the usual weekend?!

One of the cleek couldn't make it so we had to secretly change it.
Pfft. The cleek never make it.

Planz to go to the National Videogame Arcade in Nottingham I hope!
Thanks to the date change I am now IN!
Been 15 years since I was last in Nottingham.

Train prices are 
so I'd probably drive there. What are your parking facilities like?

Any more for any more? I'd love to start moving some of you maybes to the yes list! Also anyone who's on the fence about meeting us, we're all great! Plus videogames! Lots of them! All day!
I cannot 
Grim... wrote:

I kind of assumed that.
Looking at the parking we can definitely get 2 cars on the drive at the moment. If we’ve sorted the front out and gotten rid of the fence by then* we will probably be able to get 5 in at a squeeze if there are some smaller ones.
We’ll also have a spare bed, sofa bed, and double air bed up for grabs if anyone wants them.
*we definitely won’t have though.

Flights and hotel booked. Woop!

Spare bed and sofabed still up for grabs. The furniture is being moved in on Friday!
It's also possibly worth noting that the closest decent looking budget hotel to your new house is the Premier Inn Nottingham North Daybrook which isn't listed in your OP:

Nice, cheers! I think that's the one with the Old Spot pub next door.
So this is just under two weeks away now. Still plenty of room if anyone wants to stay. Gaz and Jem have booked the spare room, but there is a double sofabed if needed.
Of course if you just want to come for the day then you can meet us there!

I didn't actually run this by Gaz so if he doesn't want to stay it might just be me with a dire need for a cuddle buddy
Looking forward to this. I've booked a hotel room so won't need the crash space.

you can cwtch up with sally, i've always wanted to cuddle myp's lovely flowing beard
I was just checking my flights for this on a whim, which turned out to be very fucking lucky indeed as I'd booked my return flight on the 11th of June rather than March. I'm pretty sure even myp would've been sick of me after I'd extended my visit for another three months so I booked another flight for the right date.
This isn't my worst offence in this regard by far (that would probably be the time I booked a hotel for the correct date but the wrong year) but I do seem to be really good at fucking this kind of thing up these days. Indeed that's why I even went to verify all this in the first place because I just don't trust myself in the slightest any more. And that instinct was the correct one it seems! Fucking fuck sake.

You should keep better notes on your phone.
Just a note to say if you're coming to ours on Friday then anytime from late afternoon is fine. If you're meeting us at the venue on Saturday morning aim for about 10am. There are a few multi-storey car parks in town, but the nearest reasonably-priced one is the Lace Market car park on Pilcher Gate.

I'm afraid I won't be able to make this now. Because of the snow last weekend, my daughters dance rehearsal was postponed until this Saturday. Sorry... I was looking forward to it as well.
Sorry Myp, I wont be making it
Money is tied up at the moment with house / car stuff.

My flight gets into East Midlands at 12:20 on the Friday so by the time I get into town, dick around a bit, check into my hotel, etc, that should be about right for late afternoon.
I'll definitely see you all at the Arcade on the Saturday. Might join you on Friday night depending what time I arrive in Nottingham.
Looking forward to it.
Looking forward to it.
Zeppo's a no now too, boooooo.
Also, we've basically packed away all of our board games with the exception of 5 Second Rule and the Duet version of Codenames
Never mind Vision and Zardoz, can't be helped. The snow has messed a lot of things up. And I know what it's like to have no spare cash!
I am confirmed, incidentally.
Hotel ooking hasbeen amended. Will be arriving at some point during the day on Friday

Ooo... this is today!
Not been to Nottingham since 2002. Quite excited.
Is the The Old Trip any good, or just a trap? I tend to always disbelieve any sign saying a pub is the a town's oldest.

I hated it. Worse service than the Turf.
