Hey Guys, I've booked the venue for next years UK Knucklehead Bash at ExCel , London's docklands.

The date is Saturday June 13th 2009 and the venue is the Novotel hotel at the western end of ExCel and because we're not having it in the centre like last year, the hours are now 7:00PM til Midnight. Much more time to party and listen to great guitarists playing their Balls.

We're going to have a BBQ this year and here is the view from the balcony that overlooks the O2 arena.
View attachment 5222

You can start to e mail me to book your places as soon as you know you can come. There will be a free ticket for the LIMS show for every attendee. Badges and tickets will be mailed at the end of May. Remember there are limited places so it's first come first served.

I will confirm who will be entertaining us nearer the time. It goes without saying that the Devil will be attending as usual.

Look forward to seeing you all again.

Hi Pete

Please put me and the mister down again :)

As we won't be at Excel this time, hopefully we won't be harrassed by security guards wanting to see badges every time we go to the loo! :D

We will try and stay overnight this time, so we can stay for the duration :)

By the way Pete, is it the same email address I need for you as last year?

Can I come?

Hotel looks very nice, panoramic views over the London sky line, BBQ and beer, a good time will be had by all.

And if the answer to the above is yes, I'll be watching some great players and duelling until the witching hour, which suits me just fine!

Hi Pete

Thanks again for putting this together for us.

I'm in as they say - email to follow any second.

PS If you fancy raffling off that nasty old yellow and red flamed thing that's been cluttering up your show stand for too long now, I could be persuaded to buy a ticket or fifty! ;) :D

I had real problems getting rooms at the Novatel as there are other shows on that week, maybe the Saturday night is ok but I would check it out asap.
The Premier Inn will still be cheaper than the Novatel.

10/4 Pete - I've emailed you btw (Mike Wallace)

As for the Novotel they wouldn't take a booking that far ahead on the web,

Colin, I'm up for the Premier - it wasn't too far away, anywhere as long as it's not the seats in Gatwick airport!

Ya sure the novahotel is only 5mins walk from the premier inn so we should all book in there especially if its cheaper.
i might email premier inn and get a price for us.

a 5 minute walk from the Novatel to the Premier Inn definately beats 6 hours of wandering aimlessly round Gatwick and trying to sleep on those backache inducing seats
