Paying For Accommodation

It has been agreed with the club that we will be allowing people to start paying money towards thier accommodation from this Saturday (17th October 2009). The club will hold this money for you and then pay it to the hotel on your behalf leaving you only the unpaid balance (if any) to pay on arrival. This should make Tour less of a hit on your wallets come Easter next year. For example, if you pay £10 a week towards your accomodation from 17th October 2009, a stay of four nights (£160) could be fully paid for by the start of February 2010.

Weston Tour 2010

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

We are booked into the Royal Grosvenor Hotel in Weston-Super-Mare for the 2010 Easter weekend (1st – 5th April). We will be entering both mens and vetrans teams into the Breen Hockey Festival that will run from Good Friday through to Easter Sunday.

Initially, tour will only be available to fully paid up members of Old Halesonians Hockey Club so if you wish to book a room, see Reg and pay your annual subs. I have managed to secure 15 twin rooms (it’s all they had left), 6 of which will sleep 3 people (1 double and 1 single bed) and the remaining 9 will accommodate 2 people. All booking requests must be made via email to tour [at] jimgurmin [dot] co [dot] uk so that I have all the information in one place. Please remember to specify the nights you will require a room for and if you have a preference for who you would like to be sharing a room with. I will try my best to accommodate all requests.

Rooms will cost £40 per person per night and all bookings require a deposit of £10 per person which I will be collecting once I have received your email booking request and confirmation of receipt of annual subs from Reg. In the unlikely event that there are still rooms available 2 weeks before the event, these rooms will be opened up to whoever wants them providing they pay or have paid a social membership of £20.

I will also look into the feasibility of putting some sort of savings scheme into effect to allow people to start paying money towards accommodation between now and Tour. Keep you eyes on here for more information as it becomes available…
