J(sidi-rezegh) Bty Past And Present Association.

Dates and Calendar Events

Updated 23rd July 2005

The Committee met at the Copthorne Hotel in Dudley
over the week-end of 16th/17th July to finalise the
arrangements for this year's Reunion Week-end (28th,
29th & 30th October).

The hotel is fairly new and the rooms are all very
comfortable.  There is a good restaurant in the hotel
but for those who prefer to "eat out" there are plenty
of other options within the Merry Hill Centre.

For those who would like to take a virtual tour, the
hotel website is:-

Access to the hotel is very straight forward:-

>From the north:-

Leave the M5 at Junction 2 and follow the Merry Hill
Shopping Centre signs.

>From the south:-

Leave the M5 at Junction 4 and take the A491 to
Hagley.  At Hagley take the A4036 and follow the signs
to the Merry Hill Shopping Centre.


 

 

We hope that you will appreciate that as our numbers increase, so do our expenses.  In the past, Committee members have paid for stamps, phone calls, stationary and this site out of their own pockets.  To this end, we have decided to add a £2.00 levy for each person to cover some of these costs.

 Because we could only book the Hanover International for one year, plus we had a few complaints about the price of drinks etc. etc., we have been searching for another venue for the future.  Well thanks to Smiler Mountain and Ginge Walker, we have located one – The Copthorne Hotel, at The Waterfront, Level Street, Brierley Hill, Dudley, West Midlands.  We hope that the ladies will enjoy this hotel as it is right opposite (and within walking distance) of the Merry Hill Shopping Centre.  (If you would like more details of the hotel, please log onto www.millenniumhotels.com and follow the simple instructions to view hotel in Dudley.)  We have informed the Copthorne that we would like to use their hotel for at least the next five years as we need to put down some roots.

Although the address makes it sound difficult to locate, it is in fact a doddle.  Take Junction 2 off the M5 and follow the Merry Hill Shopping Centre signs.  Ginge Walker found it, so anyone can!!

 

Costs for the week-end, which will be held from Friday 28th October to Sunday 30th October 2005, are:-

           

            *          2 Nights           £82.00 per person
