Travelodge offers discount rate for Roll Out Roll Call Period - TFATM - 11-05-2011 01:44 PM
Please use this thread to discuss the Travelodge offers discount rate for Roll Out Roll Call Period news story on the main site.
Thinking of attending Roll Out Roll Call 2012, the UK's premier Action Force and Transformers combined fan event, then you will be interested in reading a post by AnnieM over at BloodForTheBaron
"The Travelodge sale is now on:
Southampton Travelodge has rooms for the weekend at reduced rates
Friday - £15.00 per room
Saturday - £25.50 per room
Sunday - £15.00 per room
Parking is available at £3 per 24 hours
The Travelodge is only half a mile's walk from the Jury's Inn
Bookings are NON-REFUNDABLE.
If
you visit the Travelodge website, don't use the "quick book" function
for these prices, but rather use the "sale" button on the left hand
side. Using the "quick book" gives substantially higher rates for the
Friday and Sunday nights
Because Travelodge make it difficult
to book more than one night at a time on their sale promo pages, you
might want to click here http://www.travelodge.co.uk/hotels/info?hotelId=66 and any dates you enter will be listed at the correct sale prices"

I understand that the guestlist now stands at;
Larry Hama (AWESOME!)
Simon Furman
Rob Atkins
Andrew Wildman
Which is awesome - BUT, there is a rumour that there is another 'special guest' that's been revealed on the 'What's on Joe mind?' Podcast... which is almost 2 hours long... anyone got the scoop on this yet?
Also... Action Force Painting Comp!
Ghosty you gotta be psyched for that?

Found it!
John Good! Packaging artist for GI Joe and TF in the early 90's!
That's a good guest!

I'm really feeling the buzz on this!
Any word on the exclusives yet?

Yes several but I can't same as I'm too involved with the convention but there were several ideas thrown around, some go back the summer others over recent months as Dave wants to make it special. It'll probably, and personally I hope, that its the first idea that I was told about as I know that people will mark out for it.

Those room discounts are brilliant.
I know I've not been able to go for a few years, but I wish AutoAssembly could get such good prices.

Yeah, these prices are not at the convention hotel themselves, that is the Jury's Inn, but this one is 1/2 mile down the road and is cheaper Friday to Sunday than one night at that so I will probably end up staying there myself
