    No can do, I would have been well up for this but unfortunately we are already out on a jolly with friends that weekend. I know which event I would rather be attending but have learned to only fight the battles you think you have a chance of winning.

    Good question -

    There are two big decisions to make - either near NEC, or City centre

    At the NEC looks like cheapest is ETAP at £70 for a twin

    City centre is where nightlife / food / entertainment is, more hotels but not much cheaper - best deal I found in 5 - 10 mins of looking was this

    Booking.com: Hotel Hampton by Hilton Birmingham City North , Birmingham, United Kingdom - 21 Guest reviews . Book your hotel now!

    Travel lodges are MORE expensive and that is a hilton chain / new hotel

    If anyone can find better deal with easy links to NEC (City centre is 10 mins by train from NEC with mega frequent trains) please post up

    ANother option / consideration is that the Germany Frankfurt market in the City Centre is on - good place to have a natter over a pint of (not that cheap) authentic German beer

    Christmas Markets & Craft Fairs - Christmas - Visit Birmingham

    Colin - not sure if its worth you adding / some / all of the above to the first post...

    I want this flag mularky to stop right this instant.

    There is only one flag.

    The English flag.

    And, we have incorporated within it, the cross of St Patrick and the Saltire of St Andrew, because this great country of ours is proud to be an equal opportunity employer.



    We do draw the line at including the Welsh though.

    So knock it on the head you lot!

    You cheeky git ........

    Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau

    Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi,
    Gwlad beirdd a chantorion, enwogion o fri;
    Ei gwrol ryfelwyr, gwladgarwyr tra mad,
    Tros ryddid collasant eu gwaed.

    Cytgan
    Gwlad, gwlad, pleidiol wyf i'm gwlad,
    Tra môr yn fur
    I'r bur hoffbau,
    O bydded i'r heniaith barhau.

    Hen Gymru fynyddig, paradwys y bardd,
    Pob dyffryn, pob clogwyn, i'm golwg sydd hardd;
    Trwy deimlad gwladgarol, mor swynol yw si
    Ei nentydd, afonydd, i mi.
    Cytgan

    Os treisiodd y gelyn fy ngwlad dan ei droed,
    Mae hen iaith y Gymry mor fyw ag erioed,
    Ni luddiwyd yr awen gan erchyll law brad,
    Na thelyn berseiniol fy ngwlad.
    Cytgan
