Premier Inns Nottingham Marina has double rooms for £64 per night. It's pretty close to the race venue apparently.

I have entered :shock: :fsbgrin: , and just saw that my name is on the list, together with fellow LTW Peter T and many more in our agegroup :fsbgrin: .

Looking forward to the race(maybe?), and meeting FS-friends again(definitely!) I hope that Olaf and Thor will join me to Nottingham. They will both go to Boston/Crash-B 2012. I will not be in Boston next year(to bad I know!). So hope to see Christine in the UK then [-o< ? And whatever that’s left of Peter W/Grobi becoming a fellow LTW. But 1.89m and LTW? Skinny guy!! But impressive determination though=D>

Hi.Morten. :fsgrin: Welcome to the team. What age group are you racing in? You will probably have a team mate in the same race. :D
