Saturday's schedule is above sunday in the first post. Its not showing up for me I am just getting Friday and Sunday how very annoying.

Is there a schedule ready for Saturday too?

What is happening about the dinner that was planned? Some of us have already paid for it and its not mentioned on the new website.

That sounds about right.

Yes I stayed at the IBIS last time (and am doing so again this time) and had breakfast at the Park Inn both mornings. If you are happy to pay for it they do a really good cooked breakfast and 'as much as you can eat'.

Thanks Jola I will send an E Mail (I realised my username wouldnt be enough)

Jola if we registered for The Hub 2 whilst at the Hub 1 you said before we dont get confirmation. However I did this and my payment went out from my account the next day. However tenth planet have told me that they have no records of me registering for the Hub 2 or making any payment. Would you be able to check this problem out for me please? I bought a standard ticket and Im fairly sure its within the first 100. Thanks

Me too in fact they tried to undercharge me. I hope you saw my message to you n0fear88 on a different thread.

Yea I know where that is vaguely.... near the YMCA?! I'm off the Berkeley Avenue, so not far at all lol XD Yup I was @ the ol' Ibis for Hub 1.... It wasnt bad there, rooms were nice etc, but am glad I'm at Park Inn for Hub 2 :) G x Are you on facebook? Im in the HUB 2 group there

I did have a Facebook account, but I had to deactivate it due to security issues around work... which I can't go in to. ok no problem if you click on my profile name you can get my msn and e mail address it would be good to chat further I cant use facebook at work either or for that matter this forum it is firewalled there!

Yes the YMCA is near me just through a cul de sac and you are there. Im at the IBIS again due to my asking the Park Inn for a room and them telling me they had all gone (what they didnt say was that after registering I needed to show them my receipt) although it was Saturday I asked

Wow, that's just down the road from me too, heh small world ^__^ I too would go to his gig if he played here :) G x cool I live on Parkhouse Road if that means anything lol. So where did you stay at the Hub 1? I was staying in the IBIS.

lol so did I!!! Were you at Hub 1?! Coz Im sure I heard someone shout that they wanted Gareth's band to play a gig in Rdg =], was that you by any chance?!?! G x No it wasnt me but Id definitely go to watch him if he did. Yes I was at The Hub 1. I chatted with Gareth about where he lived when he was in Reading - just off Tilehurst Road apparently so near where I live now and about the same time that I moved to my current flat about 5 years ago. I could have walked I past him! James

Hey Georgie another attendee from Reading I thought I was the only one! lol

No wonder the event went rather smoothly. Hi Clarkey I think we may have sat at the same table for the Saturday night entertainment. Sorry I wasnt very talkative but I think everyone at that table was more interested in those light tube things. I still dont know what they were :) Hey, were you sitting next to me? Yes I was (I had my back to the main door) sorry I wasnt very talkative! It's ok, i wasn't either. Are you on facebook or outpost gallifrey? I may be being stupid but I cant seem to send personal messages on here. Im in the HUB 2 group on facebook

No problem - that was part of the fun Back to your original post though - what if the person concerned was working in the dealers room? The ones working there are the best ones to talk about on this thread. Chances are they won't come on here but will most probably be working at The Hub 2 ... and maybe also at Dimensions in 3 weeks time

The room at the Ibis was really comfy and nice, but don't eat there. The only issue I had over the whole weekend was the appaling food at the Ibis. Over two evenings I sent two meals back because they were either stone cold or, on one memorable occasion still frozen, and my brother was then kept waiting for over an hour for a salad. I kept records and receipts and am taking this up with the management and so hopefully something will be done, but I'm never eating there again. The food at the Park was really nice! As you can see in my post above I had the same experience. Despite paying a bit extra it really is worth going to the Park Inn for breakfast too as they do a great self service spread. When my dessert arrived at the IBIS the custard was stone cold which was a pity as the pie wasnt bad if a little lukewarm. Im sure all my three courses were prepared at the same time. After Friday night my first meal I never ate there again and dont intend to next time.

Shame I didnt know this. As Ive said on another thread I was told by hotel staff on Saturday afternoon that all Park Inn rooms were booked up on the weekend of the Hub 2 so when I registered on Sunday I didnt bother asking them again. Still I was happy with my room at the IBIS and meals at Park Inn also parking in Sol Central so I will be doing this again. It depended on which hotel receptionist you spoke to. On Saturday evening we had been told it was fully booked already, but double checked late on Saturday and were told it was available for Hub bookings. Yet early on Sunday morning someone else was told that the hotel was fully booked and that they should call in mid week to see if there had been any cancellations! Yes confusing to say the least. There were two receptionists responding to me when I asked a 'junior' one and a 'senior' one it seemed so I assumed they couldnt both be wrong and didnt ask again

Oohh... now I'm scared... I don't know who you are and yet you know my name... lol its James we chatted all weekend after I bumped into you in that car park! Aah... that's ok then. I was worried as didn't know who it was No problem - that was part of the fun Back to your original post though - what if the person concerned was working in the dealers room?

Mark I might have known youd be the one to start a thread like this! lol Oohh... now I'm scared... I don't know who you are and yet you know my name... lol its James we chatted all weekend after I bumped into you in that car park!

I actually enquired about a room at the Park Inn on the Saturday at about 5pm and was told they were already fully booked! As I stayed at the IBIS this time and I was quite happy with the room and parking next door in the Sol Central I am quite happy to keep that arrangement for the Hub 2. The one hing I wasnt happy with in the IBIS was the restaurant service (I waited about 45 minutes and then my starter and main course arrived together) and so after my first and only meal on Friday evening I took all meals including breakfast at the Park Inn which I shall be doing this again. When I came to pay my bill at the IBIS they had no record of my Friday night meal but as I am honest I reminded them and paid for it.
