When is MREXCEL coming to England?

[MarkAndrews]

Here is what I've found... the folks at Pearson UK have found venues in Manchester and Southampton that are fairly reasonable.

In Manchester, these are about 250-300 quid for a half day:
1) Novotel Manchester West - 25 minutes from Manchester - seats up to 65
2) Menzies Pinewood Hotel - 4.5 miles from Manchester; seats 80
3) University of Manchester - 15 minutes from Manchester; seats up to 200

In Southampton, Botleigh Grange Hotel and Conference Centre - seats 90.

The only venue they found in Birmingham is 1200 quid and the London venues are all incredibly expensive. Further, I understand that Damon Longworth and most of the British MVP's will be in Oxford the week following my dates. I can't join up with Damon, since I am booked in the US that next week.

So - it would still be cool to come across for a few days to do Manchester and Southampton. Any feedback on the Manchester locations?

Any of the manchester venue's are OK for me, Manchester is approx 60 miles in the car, however I have friends who live 10 miles from the centre so i can crash with them

What dates are you thinking about?

Monday 19 November in Manchester
Wednesday 21 November in Southampton.

As soon as Pearson secures the rooms, I will buy airline tickets. Then, I can start advertising and selling seminar registrations at the shopping cart.

I hope to hear from Pearson early next week.

The Botley Grange itself is OK - be very easy commute for you in the morning to (ie all of about 20 yards!).

Bill,

I was delighted to see that you're coming over and I look forward to seeing you in Southampton. As Richard said previously, London, Birmingham and Manchester would probably the best bets. How did Southampton get in....
