The Premier Inn will still be cheaper than the Novatel.

10/4 Pete - I've emailed you btw (Mike Wallace)

As for the Novotel they wouldn't take a booking that far ahead on the web,

Colin, I'm up for the Premier - it wasn't too far away, anywhere as long as it's not the seats in Gatwick airport!

Ya sure the novahotel is only 5mins walk from the premier inn so we should all book in there especially if its cheaper.
i might email premier inn and get a price for us.

Hey pete i emailed you yesterday jusy wondering if you got it or not.

thanks,

Colin

a 5 minute walk from the Novatel to the Premier Inn definately beats 6 hours of wandering aimlessly round Gatwick and trying to sleep on those backache inducing seats

The date is Saturday June 13th 2009 and the venue is the Novotel hotel at the western end of ExCel and because we're not having it in the centre like last year, the hours are now 7:00PM til Midnight. Much more time to party and listen to great guitarists playing their Balls.

We're going to have a BBQ this year and here is the view from the balcony that overlooks the O2 arena.

You can start to e mail me to book your places as soon as you know you can come. There will be a free ticket for the LIMS show for every attendee. Badges and tickets will be mailed at the end of May. Remember there are limited places so it's first come first served.

I will confirm who will be entertaining us nearer the time. It goes without saying that the Devil will be attending as usual.

Look forward to seeing you all again.

You know what would make this event super special next year Blind Lemon??

I tell you: A nice guest appearance by Mr. Sterling Ball, it's only fair, otherwise the UK EBMM fans would never have a chance to meet Big Poppa, shake hands and congratulate him on his worldwide legacy and inpact on the music bznz. There is life outside the US you know Mr Ball?

So, with this post I would like to start a petition from all the UK ERNIE BALL® Forum affictionados:

Let's see how many of us here in the UK would like to meet Mr Sterling Ball in person at the 2009 UK Knucklehead Bash at ExCel

Your vote counts! so... add your signature to this post if you would like to meet Big Poppa in London!!! Go on you know you want to!!

me: +1 (CaptMoto)
next?

Come over BP!!!!!

[Smellybum5150]

Guys, been there done that!- BP is a busy guy, if we're lucky enough to have Beth's company I'll be delighted,


For the Personal Attention of Mr Sterling Ball.

Although if BP makes a guest appearance I shall be in full Highland dress (and a kilt in london in the summer is not fun!)

C'mon BP you know you wanna see smelly dressed like a crappy body-double from Braveheart....


Beth- don't worry if BP doesn't come over I'll give you a private show!

[Jimmyb]

I've just thrown up in my mouth!!

Why aren't you working!!!??

Come to think of it, why am I not working either.....

[Smellybum5150]

Hey Jimmy,

C'mon - you and beth know I'm not serious!

It's a Rainy day in the Highlands, and I'm almost out of debt, I'll be coming back to you for that SUB!

I can see the 09 bash being a trade-athon....


The kilt is still an option! - how about I won't wear it if BP comes!?

[Jimmyb]

It's always a rainy day in the highlands!! (coming from someone who works in manchester, you have to admire the irony of that statement!!!)

Give me a shout if you ever do want the Sub back, you can have it for the same price. Don't get me wrong, it's a great guitar, but one good turn and the like...

[Tim O'Sullivan]

BL - Just sent you an email. Hope there is a ticket left!

With regard to Hotels, what is the address and details of the cheaper(er) one thats close by to Excel? What kind of prices are the rooms?
