NEC convention
EHM-1883 Matt:
Had to be made sooner or later;D
Anybody going? I'm going, it's 30 mins down the street from here!
I was thinking of something we can do after, If we're not all tired!
A new Monorail has been built between Birmingham Airport and the Train station which is next to the NEC. We could go to the train station (don't worry, I can show the way) and take the monorail across to the Airport. there, we can go to the spotter area, and watch some planes, and they have aviation tests, and all that stuff. I beat a pilot on the aviation test once!
EHM-1798 Conrad:
ok im confused, do you mean the IFC????
I will go to that one......unfortunatly alot of driving for me, 3 hours or so, god dam my legs will be sore after that lol, hmm and will cost me alot on petrol
+ im too lazy to drive up there and back again in one day lol
I think i will book myself into a hotel for that night!
EHM-1671 Ben:
Lol, wish I could go. Airline tickets to England are a bit expensive!!
EHM-1703 Philip:
There will be a lot of talk about this soon I am sure, once all of the details have been confirmed.
It looks like a few people will be looking for accomodation for the night so I am sure we will try and get a group deal somewhere from one of the Hotels close to the NEC/Airport.
EHM-1883 Matt:
Ok, here is a Birmingham Geography lesson:
There are the following buildings everyone gets mixed up with:
Symphony Hall (concert hall)
NEC (National Exhibition Center (holding Flight sim conv.))
IFC (convention center (business)
NIA (national Indoor Arena)
Birmingham Airport (airport (duh))
Hippodrome (drama hall)
They are all part of a big group in Birmingham. They are all kind of close, but the NEC is massive, and all the big events are held there like crufts, the worlds biggest dog show. IFC mainly is for business
If any of you need help, I can give you loads! Just ask, and I'll help.
