Real World Event - Manchester

Fly UK is pleased to announce plans for a real world meet up at Manchester airport on Saturday the 5th of November 2011.

We plan to meet at the 'Airport Hotel' pub which is situated at the start of runway 23R and gives a fantastic view of arrivals and departures. We will meet in the morning, have a few drinks, some food and meet members (and a bit of plane viewing!) After the daytime event, we will be going out to Manchester City Centre. Please note, for obvious reasons, this part of the event is strictly for over 18's only.

Some people will be staying in hotels close to the airport on the Saturday night, anyone is welcome to join us. This event is a perfect opportunity for members of Fly UK to get together in one location, have a good day and a good laugh. We hope to see as many people there as possible - the more people who turn up the better the day will be.

The event itself will start at about 10:30am on Saturday morning and we will meet in the beer garden of the Airport Hotel. The pub car park does require a £5 charge but you can redeem £4 of this at the bar once you purchase something. We will probably run through until mid to late afternoon and then try and be out in Manchester for about 20:00. Please remember to bring some form of ID with you, as many places in Manchester demand to see ID to gain entry.


Accommodation

There are various hotels situated around the vicinity of Manchester Airport and most of us will be staying at the Crowne Plaza near the Airport Train Station. It usually works out at about £60 - £70 per night per room, so two sharing is only £30 (ish) each. They also charge £12.50 per night for car parking. The Crowne Plaza website is http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/crowneplaza/h...hwt/hoteldetail.
