Hi all,
[*]GP Forum Get Together[/*]
The date we have most rooms available (15 only) at the Hotel is Saturday 27th November 2010 so that is now the official date of the Guinea Pig Forum get together.
The get together is exactly what it says - just to get to know other members on the Forum - to come here to my home (The Mill Hotel) and see Sokel and Becklen rescue pigs and how the Rescue is run here.
You will be able to meet my own guinea pigs and dogs ! as well as all the Rescues in looking for homes at that particular time - also we will be introducing you to our Sponsor Pigs who for one reason or another will live out their days in Rescue.
I will organise a couple of small Raffles just for fun and obviously to raise funds towards the Rescues. Starting time is whenever the first people want to arrive but please NOT before 12 Noon as I will busy preparing for the day etc.
The majority of the day will be spent here indoors at the Rescue and those who wish to have a meal in our Restaurant please feel free to book your table on arrival for the Saturday evening. We do have a full bar area also for your enjoyment in the evening and it would be nice for us to toddle over there around 5 or 6pm - basically we will see how the day leads us. Its just a day of fun - that is how I view it.
As I do have my 5 year old son, I may have to leave you at around 8pm to sort him out for bed etc., but will be there with you all during the day. My husband will be on duty all day and therefore I will need to be in the house once I pop Daniel to bed. I will of course see everyone who has stayed over - in the morning.
For those wishing to see the Hotel the website is www.themill.co.uk and please click on the "tour " information on the right hand side of the Home Page for a brief glimpse of the Hotel.
We do cater for weddings of course and if anyone who wishes to book a Chalet for the Saturday night - (I would book early in case a wedding books the rooms) - please get in touch with Reception Staff on 01461 800344 - they will be pleased to take your Booking.
We only have 15 Chalets available now out of our 34 so if you cannot get a Chalet here then there is the Welcome Break Lodge just half a mile away. Information on Chalets are as follows:
Single Room (£70.00) £ Double Room (£90.00) £ Twin Room (£90.00) £ Deluxe Double (£100.00) £ Family of 3 (£105.00) £ Family of 4 (£125.00) £ Family of 5 (£145.00) £ Bridal Suite (£170.00)
All Rooms are Chalet style laid out in the Grounds of the Hotel.
I do hope a lot of you can make it and will very much look forward to meeting you all.
[*]If you can PM me as a definite[/*] so I have an indication of numbers as I will be providing a running buffet throughout the afternoon.
I am hopeful both Becky and Graham (Sokel) will be here and we can offer advice if it is needed at all, although most of you are very piggy savvy in any case !
The Hotel is situated 2 miles outside of Gretna - 1 minute off Junction 21 on the M74 or alternatively we have train stations at Gretna, Lockerbie and Carlisle (Carlisle is only 10 miles away).
Sorry for the long rambling Post but I wanted to cover as much as I can and do hope we can meet with as many of you as possible on the day.
