Right, lots of questions Psychic!

Firstly, afraid that the hotel is fully booked. I'd suggest trying the Sheraton across the road, about the same price I believe, and only a few minutes away - that is, apart from the fun of trying to get across the road to the Thistle!

As far as number of nights, most people stay all three nights. There are parties each night, and the closing ceremony (which starts after the autographs finish, so it may be late in the evening) is something you really do not want to miss!

Friday starts with registration at 3.00 pm. You don't have to get there at that time, but most people do and it's the best time to meet fellow attendees and making new friends. The opening ceremony is about 7.30 ish, followed by the M & G and the disco.

Look forward to seeing you there!

did you get meals included in your booking? Cos at the Sheraton you don't get any!! And...there are no cooking facilities in the room...and it looks like we're surrounded by the A4... looks like I'll be living on Smarties for a whole long weekend!! Does anyone have any food advice?

The Thistle provides the option of breakfast, but we didn't bother as it was a lot cheaper to go without.

This will be my first time at the Thistle, but the general advice is:

1) eat out - there is a McDonalds, a couple of pubs and a Chinese restaurent nearby. The local petrol station sells nibbles, such as pasties.

2) there is a snack bar at the Thistle.

3) take an extra suitcase full of food that doesn't require cooking - pot noodles, bread, sandwich spreads, mini cereal packs, powdered milk, fruit etc (just don't get caught as your hotel could kick you out).
