We are pleased to announce that we have made good progress with arrangements for the show and have selected a new (to us) hotel for the show.
Sorry for the late update but we have been haggling hard as well as trying to get the hotel to understand what we are all about.
The venue we have chosen is in the midlands and in a central location - chosen so other hotel options are easily available for visitors should they wish to stay over.
The 2022 Wam show will be on 1st and 2nd October with the traditional format: a Saturday set up, public visiting on the Sunday between 10 am and 5 pm. Sunday night is optional for the curry fans!
At present we plan on there being a cost per room plus cover for public liability insurance. Extras will be the Saturday evening dinner and Sunday / Monday breakfast all at a fixed cost per person, we will need to pre-book these near to the time but pricing will be very reasonable. Sorry, no cupcakes!
A draft contract has been shared between the 2 parties and we will be meeting with Rachel and Roo on Sunday 13th, if we are all happy a deposit will be paid to secure the booking and another more detailed announcement will be made then.
Hopefully, you appreciate that this has been a massive exercise by the team involving lots of calls, driving miles making a large number of visits and some tough negotiations. Our team has already visited the hotel, the 2nd time with Rachel and Roo and we believe it will suit members well, plus we are keen that the hotel will welcome us back next year.
Long live the Wam
