anyone got room for one more in their car?
You can put me down as attending JJ, as I've just booked my ticket
I'll have space in my car, but I'll very likely be going up on the Friday and coming back on the Sunday.

If there isn't anything in Stockport itself, there are a couple in Manchester itself I know of.
Not sure what time I'll head up on the Friday, but my days off work are fairly flexible.
I'll probably be heading off into Manchester one of the evenings to see some close friends of mine, though anyone's welcome to tag along. It's only a 10 minute train ride from Stockport.

Ordered my ticket earlier, so I'm going too Will need to get some practice in for those ETC style missions. Never played that format before! Also not sure what to take either, Chaos or Guard? Probably Chaos as I will have to push fewer models around.

Go with the army you enjoy playing with the most, after all you've got to play five games in a row with it. more if you go on friday. personally I'm tempted to break out my blood angels but will probably stick with tyranids (For the swarm!)

Last year Will and I stayed here:

Wasn't bad, 10minute walk.
Probably stay there again as the Travelodge next to the place has already sold out!

That hotel looks pretty reasonable, coming up at £98 for two nights.
I'll definitely be driving up, having looked to see what's available Parking wise, but I'll just find a long stay car park close by if necessary.
It'll definetly be cheaper to stay in Stockport than in Manchester proper. Although it's only a 10 minute train ride between the two.
I don't know Stockpart, never been there, but I've been to Manchester itself many times, just this weekend in fact. So I know where all the best pubs & restaurants are.
Maybe those of us who are about tomorrow evening can have a quick discussion?
