AFA patient day conference 2016

[Bryonny]

Hallo, just wondered who was going to the conference this year and if anyone staying on the 8th and would like to meet for a meal in the evening?

[dedeottie]

Yes I will be there. I think Bob is organizing a meet up meal again so I expect he will be asking who would like a place booking before too long. Look forward to seeing you there. X

Ditto

[Dayu in reply to dedeottie]

Could you send more details about this conference, thansk

[Bryonny in reply to Dayu]

If you go on the AFA website there is information about lectures that will be presented on Patients Day. If you scroll down this thread of messages AFA have put a link that will take you straight through to information. Hope this is helpful.

[Bryonny]

Look forward to meeting up. Where will you be staying? I have left it late to book, but think I will stay somewhere close to the ICC.

[dedeottie in reply to Bryonny]

I am staying at the canal side premier in. Do you mean you have left it too late to book a hotel or the conference?

[Bryonny in reply to dedeottie]

Booked the conference and managed to book a room last night - if I can go next year will book hotel sooner as options very limited at this stage! My fault though!

[PeterWh in reply to Bryonny]

Well the price at the premier Inn is the same now as it was in May.

[Bryonny in reply to PeterWh]

Thanks Peter, when I checked the 8th was fully booked. Train from London only gets in at 10.17 and seems to be the earliest available and I don't want to miss the first part. I have booked now and will enjoy my deluxe room!

[Drounding]

I'll be there but I'm travelling up on the morning.

[Bryonny in reply to Drounding]

Look forward to meeting up. I enjoyed meeting other people last year and learnt a lot from the conference.

[Hidden]

Where is it being held and in what day?

[Bryonny in reply to Hidden]

ICC in Birmingham - patient day 9th October. I rang AFA and booked my place this week.

[AFCyclist]

I will be going but will be traveling on the day from Sheffield.

[BobD Volunteer]

Bryonny, I always organise the Pink Carnation Supper each Saturday evening before the conference. Been doing it now for 8 years. I am booked at Hyatt Regency which is connected to ICC by a bridge but it is eye wateringly expensive. The food there is what Beancounter defines as "Interesting" but unless you know of another restaurant in Brum nearby who can take a party of ten or so that is what we are stuck with.

I shall be taking numbers nearer the time.

Consider yourself booked

Bob

[Denise- in reply to BobD]

Oh no, I'm on holiday, living in the suburbs of brum that would have been great, you are on broad Street where there are dozens of great restaurants by the canal, check them out, good food in abundance

[audrey2543]

I'm about to try to book at Premier Inn for the 8th as I have to travel from Oxford. Healthwise I'm not totally sure I'm going to be able to make it but, fingers crossed, I'd certainly like to meet up to eat and will contact Bob when he is ready to arrange.

[Bryonny in reply to audrey2543]

Hope you can make it. Look forward to meeting you.

[Lorna058]

Going with my husband, so happy to meet up with others, good to put faces to names!

[Lorna058]

Correction, probably won't make it, hitch in the system!

[Mo-ararat]

Thanks Rachel. Hope to see you there.

Apparently if you go with someone from Friends of AF association the cost for attending is £35 for the day. Any chance of meeting someone from this association so I can save myself £15...Thanks
