hey all i just read steves post and it got me thinking how is everyone getting to nationals? i would of thought train would of been the cheapest from queen street station? also accommodation was mentioned unfortunatly due to working full time leaves very little time to come visit you guys specially phil since he always seems to have an answer :-) but i thought id start this thread so we could start planing our weekend.
i am assuming the student halls may be ful already at Heriot Watt but the booking pack has various other places ranging from £29 - £67 per night and im assuming we wanna stay relativly close to each other for late night D&D and painting for myself no doubt :-).
iv kept in touch with krysh and iv been told nationals have over 400 ppl now and the numbers should be posted shortly.
other than that what you guys got to say??

Since a whole bunch of us, me included, live in Paisley we'll probably be travelling together. If you want to drop into Paisley on the day or meet in Glasgow somewhere then we can travel together. As for accommodation I have heard literally nothing on this. I don't know if Phil is organising it or what. Worst comes to worst, we're only homeless for a weekend.

I was under the impression that this forum thread existed to discuss this. If you have any concerns then feel free to air them here.
As for the hotel status... I believe that Phil has decided on a place for us to stay and all that is left to do will be to book it. I'm informed that we'll be getting family rooms capable of housing two people, so I suggest you all decide who you are buddying up with.
I'm sure Steven or Phil will soon post with more concrete information. Needless to say, it's being handled.

Its worth mentioning that I will be both travelling (via trains I'm guessing) and getting accomadation with you guys. I've already spoke to Burky about staying in the same room as him but if someone could pass onto Phil that I need to be included and let me know how much I need to forward that would be great.

Right, well, I was not sure where to put this so I guess here will do. I have decided that I shall not be attending Nats this year, mostly due to financial reasons. I simply cannot afford to pay for Travel, Accomadation, a Deck, and other expenses (food etc.). I said I would participate in the Warhammer Tourney Fund-Raiser and I still intend to participate, as with only (I believe anyhow) 4 players it would be rather empty without my Chaos Warriors.
Appologies to WEG, if you are still going you will have to find another to share a room with. (wow with nine 'I's and one 'my' this sounds like a very narcissitic message ;D)

I am yet to organise who I am sharing with so if you want to share with me then that is an option. I'd like to find out where other people are staying before booking the rooms because I'd prefer to be staying with as many other Hobbits as possible. That is, as long as everyone else is still going.

I know the place me and Paul are staying still has a few rooms available and is onlt about 10 quid dearer than the Travel lodge overall but you will not need to pay for transport as it is within walking distance of Heriot watt If interested let me know and i will furnish with details
