Newman hall
« on: February 23, 2005, 12:48 AM »
Can someone give the full address of the  hall so I can look it up on the map-- what road is it in? Sherriff hasnt included the full address or map details in his Ad.

If you look at my ad on this site on the events details page there should be a map link underneath it.
http://www.leroc-in-bristol.co.uk/Events_Details.htm#LR2K_WCS

On the events calendar, there is a map link next the event as well which you can follow to the venue page:
http://leroc-in-bristol.co.uk/Events_Calendar.asp

Phil's pointed you to the right page though for just the venue itself.

There's always a map on the Leroc2000 website:

http://leroc.net/leroc2000/

 :) But as it's you, Anita - here's a direct link:

That's why it's always best to check the organiser's website....  ;) >:D

What's the venue like, Lou?  Does it have a nice big slippery dancefloor?  ;)  I've never been there.

Will there be a bar in the evening?  Also, having done the WCS workshop, will David Barker be doing some DJ-ing in the evening so that we can practice?

As there's a gap between the workshop and the freestyle, does anyone fancy going for an evening meal nearby?  I know of the British Raj curry house in Westbury on Trym, what else is available?  Or are people going home to eat and freshen up before returning?

D'you know - I've never been there!  :o

However, I have a feeling the floor is somewhat fast, as I think I remember a thread about it on the old forum, when John was having his Halloween Party there.

Elaine will remember, I'm sure!  ;D

And as for DavidB DJ-ing .... the feller is often lurking around here.... Perhaps we can persuade him out of lurkdom to tell us some plans!  ;)

Yeah, it's a pretty fast floor.  I recommend trainers if you have them - the time I was last there I ended up skidding all over the place.

Mind you, I'm used to the Elmgrove floor so anything feels fast in comparison to that!  ::)

Thanks for all the info everyone-- I'm just a bit thick but I know where to find it now. I still think it would be easier if the full address was printed on the original advertising leaflet though & then you wouldnt need to go hunting around elsewhere--some people havent got computers or cant use them you know! But then I'm just an old fashioned gal. Not sure what everyones doing between the workshop & the dance Simon but not sure I could dance on top of a curry-- I have enough trouble anyhow! ;)

If it's any help, every time I add an event to th details page I add a venue map too, even if it's not supplied by the organiser.  May help...

John would it be use full to put a venue description on your web site

E.g. floor size and surface
Parking
Bar facilities
Nearest curry house /pub /café

Ps the Newman hall is similar to St Bonn?s and Kingwood, it is normally possible to get a drink a separate bar if the bar in dance hall is closed

Yup, I remember - it's fast!  Take a parachute with you and all will be fine!

We will be going home in between the workshop and the dance for a cup of tea and a slice of cake!  Anyone seen the Vicar?  ;D

I would just like to say that I used the splendidly positioned map on Sherif's website to find the NH. ;)
 But I am still a bit unsure of where it is, simply because I have never been to that part of Bristol before and these days, I don't view travelling through new 'urban' territory by car as an adventure.  Is the 'any fool can do it' route via Clifton/Whiteladies road and right at the Downs? (sort of thing)  ???
