i.e. make my own accommodation arrangements?
This is possible. However, I should warn you that that weekend is a busy weekend in Peebles...
If you wish to make your own arrangements but also attend the Gala dinner, you will need to discuss this with me before the event as I will have to negotiate a price for the dinner alone and inform the hotel.
This option is now open to all entrants.
If you decide to make your own accommodation arrangements, you will pay only the £39 entry fee. (This does not include attendance of the Gala dinner, which will be arranged and paid for separately.)
If you are staying with the group at the hotel, you will need to pay at least your £39 deposit now, and an additional £130 by July 2011, for your hotel accommodation.
