'''Sledge''': I'll be driving again, giving lifts to Wookey, DanielSilverstone and RobKendrick again this year. Space in the car for small amounts of stuff  too if people ask nicely...

'''Womble2''': I'm also intending to drive, giving lifts to Nattie (surprise), tbm and daf. I expect to buy b33r but can provide a little boot space.

'''JonMasters''': I booked a return flight from Heathrow with BA for £92.50. Cheaper than booking the train at this point.

'''Tom Womack''': flying from Heathrow, it's a lot cheaper than the train for some reason

== Accommodation ==

Youth hostels about 15EUR a night. Conference hotel has been around 50GBP a night.

http://www.laj.be/html/en/hostels/brel/aubergesbrel_en01.htm ?

Atlas (http://www.atlas-hotel.be) is about 50GBP single, 58GBP double, 79GBP triple.

hostels.com recommended Tom Womack to 2GO4 on Emile Jacqmain, about 100GBP for three nights.

DanielSilverstone is prepared to book hostel rooms en-masse and will do so on Friday the 13th unless otherwise requested. The booking will be for fri/sat nights and will be most likely to be a double for himself and rjek, and then whatever others request. If enough share, it's cheaper... Obviously I can't make them have specific rooms so we'll see what they can do. Indicate in the first table if you want to be part of the mass booking for the hostel.

== Beer ==

Friday evening: drinks on the top floor of the Le Roy d'Espagne on the
Grand Place. Can't miss it; it's the one with the stuffed
horse. Probably go for food before.
