Strange to compare that in Asia the boys are asked to encounter the public, doing Meet and greets and so, while in UK they are asked to hide from the public, wearing hoods at the deepest level....
I hope this year things will be more open, with maybe an Meet and greet ?

ah yes, those are the ones, thanks for the reminder. You'd question the strength of your beer if you came out of that pub, and didn't know anything about Libera lol

Congrats for getting to stay so close to the cathedral. You won't need to rush about now and can enjoy a nice pint (or two) before retiring for the night

I hope Libera do have meet and greet at a UK concert this year, but I feel Arundel might not be the one.

It was in another topic and I exactly wrote :

Yet I don't know the Quality of St Marys Gate, so I can't recommend it to you Yorkie !

Imagine the shower curtain is dirty or something, you had blamed me for having sent you there, I know you !

Well, looking at the website it is not as good as The Swan but it is much cheaper. Also seems to be plenty of availability still.

How much will flights cost you Patrick (or will you take the Eurostar)?

........And of course I would blame you if it was rubbish!

Glad to know there is availability, so you can choose this hotel by your own if you want

Yes, it's cheaper (about 25-30%) than the Swan, and nearer (10 meters vs 500 meters), but also it seems to have lower quality level.... we will see

It's an assasination !

- Paris/London and return on Eurostar : about 250 € ! (the return on sunday is very expensive.... If Libera had announced the concert 1 month earlier, I would have saved 150 €...
- London/Arundel : about 35£

It's cheaper to take Easyjet Paris/Luton + train Luton/Arundel : about 130 € plane + 50£ train.

We (French and Belgian people) are looking about coming by car and ferrys. there is short time to organize all...

A few of us is also planning to leave Arundel early in sunday morning, to have time to reach St Philip for the office at 09h45

Will you join us Yorkie ?

Yorkie · Post by **Yorkie** » 14 years ago

I might well join you Patrick - we'll see.

It would cost me about £80 to get from where I live by train (via London) but with the price of petrol/gas in the UK at the moment it would cost about the same in petrol. Driving would be slightly quicker, but I hate driving anyway so the train seems a better option.

So you're bringing half of France and Belgium with you then? Lets hope the Japanese fans won't make the trip - I don't fancy having to queue from 06.30!

Too bad, Look how near it is from the Cathedral !!
Yes that would have been very handy, there should be other places available nearby if you book early.
Great news (for me ) : I have finaly a room At St Marys Gate Inn !!
Two month ago I have booked a room at St Marys Gate, being totally blind and not sure at all that Libera will turn back in Arundel this year !
So I tried to guess what could be a concert date and I booked a room for two night. I missed the right date by one week !

Yesterday night St Marys Gate seemed to be full when I checked on internet, so I sent them a cancelation email, but tonight they have contacted me saying a room was available for two night, 14 and 15 May ! I took it immediately of course !!

Guess I should have read this before I sent you my PM today Patrick

. That's great news that you'll get to see Libera again at Arundel 2010 and that you got your room at St. Mary's! I don't know, sure you can handle the tough walk to the cathedral

? Wish I could join you but is too soon for me to make arrangements

. Hopefully, they will tour again in summertime in UK or possibly US so I could join you then. All of you that are going from the UK and Europe, enjoy Libera and cherish every moment

So who is going to Arundel? Perhaps we should organise a meet up and get Patrick to buy us a few beers in that pub of his?

kthomp · Post by **kthomp** » 14 years ago

im going

in theory anyways, mum agreed to drive me there if we leave earlier than before so we can park, so its almost certain me and my mum shall attend again

dani · Post by **dani** » 14 years ago

I will go 100%

Yorkie · Post by **Yorkie** » 14 years ago

So, we have three confirmed attendees then. Perhaps we'll have to organise a visual signal so we can identify each other. I'll be easy to spot - I'm 6'1'', fat, old, short greying hair, glasses and look a bit like an older version of Mine Akpobome. I'll also be drinking a six pack of Tennants Super
