DW Tour in a roundabout way to Ponty

The Rummer

Pontypridd v Wasps on Friday 25th April. This being a European game, it demands a tour. The fact that there is no accommodation in Pontypridd just means that creativity is required.

The original DW idea for the Ponty match was a weekend in the lovely city of Cardiff (come on JamesG, it's not that bad!), However we have been
scuppered by plans from the dark side. Those bloody Northerners are holding the Rugby League Challenge Cup final at the Millenium stadium
the same weekend. Therefore you cannot get reasonably priced hotel rooms for love nor money - actually that's not true, if you are willing to pay
in the region of £150 for a room then money is exactly what you need!

So a re-think was in order. Bearing in mind how much the DWs love our weekends in that historic city of Bath and the odd beer or twenty in The
Rummer, we have decided on a weekend there instead.

The plan, such as it is, is as follows :-

Fri 25 Apr
midday - meet for a leisurely lunch
4pm - coach leaves Bath for Pontypridd (journey approx 1 hour 30mins)
7.05pm - Ponty v. Wasps kick off
9.30* - coach returns to Bath
(*or maybe 9.15 to ensure we get back for last orders)

Sat 26 Apr
Don't think there are any vineyards in Bath, but I'll see if we can organise something suitably celebratory!

Sun 27 Apr
Leave Bath

I am not intending to organise hotel rooms, however I have a short list if anyone wants details. The coach will cost £12 per person provided we can get at least 9 people.

So what do I need to know? At this stage, I need to know the number of adult and child places you need on the coach and the number of adult and child (or seniors concessions) tickets you need for the match. And I need to know by this Friday 28th February, because I need to confirm to the coach company.
