    I will be there in March. Firming up air travel as we speak. (or I should say 'as I post').

    One point.....Due to the logistics of the situation (coming from the US) I need to spend Monday night after the event in a city very close to the airport. I usually spend the night in a hotel just across the street from the terminal in Glasgow but this year flights to Glasgow are a bit expensive so I'm looking at Newcastle. Any ideas on a hotel that won't break the bank near / at the Newcastle airport? I usually spend £50 or £60 for a night in Glasgow and would like to keep to that if possible. A 6:00 AM flight is hard enough to make w/o being too far away.

    Ideas / locations would be appreciated.

    Who else is there in March?

    The Premier Inn at Newastle Aiport is pretty good & cheap. I just checked and if you're staying yourself itll be £29 for the one night:

    It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom -- for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself.
