Celebration Europe - Northern Jedi on Tour July 2007

glad you guys got sorted

looks like there is going to be a strong presence from FFUK:N at Celebration Europe

anyone else still looking/struggling for accomidation ? maybe we can set up a room-share/exchange programme with the other chapters for those looking for rooms ?

 

Rob (Darkinhere) is still holding one room at the Holiday Inn near to Earls Court. Its a 4 night booking and £99 per night (same as Ibis). If anyone wants the room can they post here pls in the next 7 days before he releases the booking - hes holding onto it just in case but hes now at the <Jedi Partyzone> Ibis <Jedi Partyzone>.

I can help sort this if anyone is up for the room

Let's start the betting she comes up to the table at CE but doesn't talk to us

I'm sorry, couldn't resist. You can hit me at Leeds

 

Awwww, don't pick on tethys, Tim Although I was going to make the same comment, lol. Don't be afraid to approach us though Tethys, whether we are changing in costume or not. We'll try not to sweat and smell too much this time, although it is likely to be very hot in mid-July

 

Its going to be great, cannot wait for next year!

 

Any more updates on prices and stuff

 

...a lot of these things are being sorted out as we speak....as soon as we know more I will try and post over here....

The one certainty is that you need ;

1. time off for the 13th - 15th July 2007
2. that you need somewhere to stay
3. that you have enough energy for this huge party!!!!

Star Wars Celebration Europe Is Growing!
November 22, 2006

Advance interest in Star Wars Celebration Europe has been high enough to persuade the event's organizers to move it from Earl's Court to a much larger venue, ExCeL, London.
Star Wars Celebration Europe dates remain unchanged. The festival will run from Friday, July 13 through Sunday, July 15, 2007. Celebration Europe, produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. and The Cards Inc. Group, will celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Star Wars saga with what promises to be Europe's largest Star Wars party ever.

"We have been overwhelmed by the initial response to the announcement of Star Wars Celebration Europe," said Barry Eldridge, coordinator for Star Wars Celebration Europe. "After careful consideration we have chosen to move the event to ExCeL, which is London's largest conference and exhibition venue."

The larger venue will allow a greater number of guests, larger exhibition space, and more outdoor space, which Eldridge said will allow for more innovative content.

"The decision to move the venue was not one we took lightly," added Eldridge. "We are confident that the move offers us the ability to provide Celebration Europe attendees with the best possible experience next July."

In addition to larger event space, ExCeL London offers dozens of restaurants, bars, pubs and cafes, six on-site hotels, 4000-car parking spaces and three Docklands Light Railway stations with access to London Underground and London City Airport.

Stay tuned to starwars.com and celebrationeurope.com for further updates. Celebration Europe tickets and Celebration Europe accommodation packages are scheduled to become available around the end of November.

Star Wars Celebration Europe will be filled with live entertainment, celebrities from all six movies, special film and video presentations, an exhibit of original movie props and costumes, exclusive merchandise, pop culture tributes, interactive events, a costume contest, and much more.

I will cancel the room at the hotel I booked near Earls Court and look for something nearer. I'll re-post when I find somewhere else. I'll do my best to get a room big enough for 5, but some may just have to sleep on the floor!

More later......

<cue frantic online booking>

Back again....

2 x twin rooms booked at Ibis Docklands from 12-16 July- it'll work out at £103.60 each between five of us...hope that's OK!! Breakfast is approx £5 extra.

 

Suzi - try for Ibis Excel - its next door to the event! Ive booked 6 rooms there - just in case. If the LFL CE package is good, I can always cancel them anyway worst case.

Ibis Excel details

 

Thanks for spotting my mistake, Jase!!
Now re-booked at Ibis Excel with two twin rooms and same number of nights- it's also a hell of a lot cheaper too! £66.40 between five of us!!

 

I will wait 14 days for this CE hotel package thing

 

Hi Suzi, is that £66.40 in total ??

 

It's £166 for each room for the four nights, so that's £332 altogether for the two rooms. Divided by five = £66.40 Not bad, eh?

 

FANTASTIC !!!

Suzi - you are a star

the quality of the rooms will probably be better aswell !!

 

hi jase
me and my friend mark from coventry will take a twin room for the 14th (i'll be there for 2 days only 14th and 15th)
cheers

So whats there to do in Newham then?

 

Make sure you don't get ill and end up in hospital Newham is not the greatest *cough*

Otherwise, there's a THX cinema and not much else.

Brick Lane is not far - curry (Just for Tim )

OOh, just remembered - Canary Wharf - very impressive DLR station and nice area to view at night.

 

Shame it's a bit out of the way of the main area London

 

Nige - the booking is for four days mate....sorry - forgot to mention....lets see what the LFL CE packages are though in the next couple of weeks before we alter anything...the booking is just sitting there right now so no big deal.

If the packages are good I will certainly be cancelling my room, but lets see - I think Im trying to cover all angles right now - probalby like most fans after this mornings announcement.

 

the hotel can always just do one room for the one night its your booking and it frees up the other days for that room as you said lets see what the packages are like
have fun in hartlepool tonight
