get_together | Venues and Accommodation

We will be at the same location as last year, Park Bowling Club in Kilbirnie. It's spacious, central, and the neighbours are cheerful and tolerant. We've got a list of a few niggles from last year (heating, electrical sockets, boot heels, etc) so I'll be making a housekeeping post about that sort of thing later on.

We'll likely eat at the same (or similar) restaurants too -- there are others further afield, but I'm assuming those without cars would prefer not to have to make multiple journeys back and forth.

With regard to accommodation, I know there were a couple of requests from last year to look into a group booking somewhere, and China and I did investigate the Brentwood, which would have been my first choice, but unfortunately they're all booked up for a conference. More surprisingly, so is the old faithful 747. Failing either of those, there's always X-Base and Nomads, both of which have housed g/ters reasonably happily in the past, and both of which are on the direct bus route, both from the airport and to/from the venue. Please feel free to put together a party in the comments to this post as needed.
