6288 posts 		Just a reminder that our first meet since the world shut down will be on Saturday 19th November 2022 right outside Manchester Piccadilly station. There is a hard limit of 30 people in our booked room, with the next size up being 100 people which we won't achieve. So please ensure you are signed up if you're going, and remove yourself off the list if you're not. Thank you to the ones who updated their registration in this manner - there are now two spaces available as I type this.

The post-meet dinner will likely be the same venue, albeit in a different area. This saves trying to find a suitable venue capable of seating us all - and is obviously very convenient!

You are not on the current list of attendees.

There are currently two vacancies.

I just signed up and I was wondering if I’m on the waiting list or I actually have a place?

Thank you

You are in the main list. There is nobody on the wait list as I write this.

Online 		I have registered for this but will probably end up having to depart for work at some point (only over the road fortunately). Should the (currently spare) duty I get involve an early afternoon start I'll withdraw and free up a space.
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

Depends what source you use for the fare: what station are you coming from?

I looked up trains and found I couldn't get one for less than £80 return from Bristol TM so I am driving most of the way, probably to Altrincham, and getting a Manchester Metrolink for the rest of the way in. Less hassle about parking too as I have never been to central Manchester: the nearest I normally get is my employer's HQ which is about ¼ mile from Northenden Junction.

Is this why hotel prices are rather high then?

Would explain it. Cheapest I found in Crewe was £55. Decided that I would just return home.

Christmas Market season as well, always sees a spike.

Factually accurate but I should think it doesn't really affect the situation regarding hotel bookings.

It would offset it by 24 hours. You don't travel down to stay over two days before a match?

You are so keen to make a point you have lost any relevance to the comments. There is no indication anywhere in this topic about whether posters are talking about Friday or Saturday night accommodation.

Please excuse my error. It is not factually accurate. The 2021 Rugby League World Cup Final between Australia and Samoa will take place at Old Trafford at 16:00 on Saturday 19th. November 2022 (tournament held over from 2021 due to Covid restrictions). See https://www.rlwc2021.com/preview/65.
