Battle Prom Run - Hatfield House

[dwkmgf]

A couple of us were chatting last night about a road run that culminated in attending the Battle Prom at Hatfield House. I have spoken with the organisers today, and they don't see there being a problem, although we may not be able to park at the rear of the auditorium because of Health and Safety (although I shall look into this with the local council - something about tanks of petrol, cars and and a crowd people being close together - Herts CC obviously have not seen Oxford Street at Christmas!!).

The plan fomulating in my mind would be a road run visiting a couple of other country homes in Hertfordshire/Essex (photo ops etc) with arrival at Hatfield House around 4pm. At the least we will have reserved parking and wil be early enough to pitch gazeebo's and have a picnic party (bring and share style) prior to the start of the concert. Having been on a couple of these events they really are a spectical, and an opportunity to dress in dinner jacket, bow tie and wellingtons!! Think of Last night of the Proms - with added cannons and smoke, plus a flypast by Spitfires - don't get that in the royal Albert Hall!!

The date of the event is the 26 July 2008. Ticket cost is £27 per person, although there is an early booking discount and I slipped in about a reduction as we could be a considerable group.

Let me know what you think.
