The social is centred around Conwy this year. A walled castle town on the River Conwy full of cosy pubs including one on the quayside. (The town is about 2 miles fron the Travel Inn Llandudno) All the pubs are walkable and its customary for punters to try and get a pint or two in every one before staggering home. So anyone going to the FRA meeting on the Saturday, or competing in the event could look at staying in a B+B in the town.

I see that the full list of robots attending is up on http://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/events2005_denbigh.htmhttp://www.roamingrobots.co.uk/events2005_denbigh.htm

Some very good robots coming.
The social as I said will be in Conwy. Starting hopefully outside the Liverpool Arms on the quayside. We can then drift through the town. My other favourite is the Castle Hotel, but they are all ok.

Are there any apperance fees or money towards the accom for this event?

In common with other events it depends on ticket sales...and its looking a bit glum. Weve sold 310 of the 800 available. We need to sell a lot more to break even, the fixed costs are so high. I cant believe how hard Ive had to work just to get to this point. Weve had loads of radio, newspaper coverage all over north wales, but consider this, 25% of ticket sales are from 100miles+ away via ebay, RR website etc and 60% from mailshotting last years audiences. This tells me that the audiences are becoming just diehard RW fans and not locals like it used to be. Realistically this has to be the last Denbigh live event unless the programme gets a new life on BBC.
I desperately hope that I can sell another 300+ this week!

Try to keep the faith Rob, I know its not easy when you see ticket sales like that. If history is anything to go by you may well find that you pick up a good few sales in the last couple of days. Also dont forget that you will more than likely have a fair number of on the door sales too.
Im sure you have done a fine publicty job and I really hope it comes good in the end.
Im certain we can all look forward to another great Denbigh event this weekend.
Good luck,

Geoff.

Rob and Guys,

At the moment it is not looking like I will be able to attend. If I do come, I will likely miss the Saturday show.

Just a little post - anybody got a spare washing machine or anything of that nature they dont intend to want - few robots want to have a go at trashing them.
