We are delighted to report that Angus Brown is organizing an ExPo and Friends reunion in the U.K. in September, and has sent us this update on plans for the reunion:-

First of all, and I appreciate that this may possibly be the first time of hearing about this for some of you, my apologies for taking so long to get back to you all on the UK reunion, but a couple of things have been holding up the final announcement.

First of all, there will be NO RACING at Cheltenham Racecourse, despite what I was told by the young bimbo there last year. This is probably good news. It's a pretty expensive day out anyway, but with our lot I can imagine a few of them getting totally blathered and losing their shirts anyway. So in the end not necessarily bad news!

The other reason is that I've been having some serious "negotiations" with the hotel about the cost of the rooms. Originally it was going to be £120.00 per room per night, but I've finally got them down to £80.00. When you consider all the hotel rooms will either have double beds or 2 singly beds, this means that the accommodation could not get much cheaper.

So..... here's the basic info. for those of you who will be interested in attending........

DATES: September 6 & 7, 2018
LOCATION: CHELTENHAM, Gloucestershire, England
HOTEL: Holiday Inn Express, 33 Dunally Street, CHELTENHAM, GL50 4AP
PHONE: 01242 - 548200
CHECK IN: Any time after 3.00p.m.
CHECK OUT: Any time before 11.00a.m.
COST: £80.00 per room per night which includes breakfast and VAT.
This is the best rate I have been able to negotiate.

There are 132rooms in the hotel, 89 with double beds and 38 with 2 singles, so whether you're coming with partners, or simply sharing a room, the hotel should be able to accommodate you. IF YOU WISH TO SHARE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW NAMES FOR THE HOTEL.

The hotel does NOT have its own parking, but there are 3 car parks within 3 minutes walk of the hotel.

The hotel has its own "lobby" bar, but there are numerous good pubs, bars and restaurants, as well as a 10 screen cinema and ten pin bowling within 2 minutes walk of the hotel.

In addition, Cheltenham has loads of shopping, parks, gardens and live entertainment in a wide selection of venues all over town.

IMPORTANT: THE LAST COUPLE OF REUNIONS HAVE BEEN GREAT SUCCESSES AND THOROUGHLY ENJOYED BY ALL THOSE ATTENDING, SO IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING, IN THE FIRST INSTANCE, PLEASE GET BACK TO ME BEFORE THE END OF MARCH, 2018 LATEST. I'LL THEN SEND OUT THE SPECIFIC BOOKING DETAILS SO THAT YOU CAN BOOK DIRECTLY WITH THE HOTEL.
