I have also booked into the Best Western, Newark for Friday and Saturday.
They must be wondering what the hells going on.
@skarsnick
Looks like we are drinking in Newark then.
It may need to be a bigger pub than last year.
You could always invite some. I feel like some of the older guys, John, Dave Andrews, would love this kind of thing. When I first started painting up my old stuff John was keen to show me some of his older minis. He had a Ral Partha Bee knight amongst them I remember. ... and at a studio Open day Dave Andrews was there with some Race game he had made up. There must be others who would love the Oldhammer atmosphere. Can you not stick an open invite in Bugmans or on the studio notice board?

You left it too long to book, people were warned that prices would rise. I booked early and got both nights for £100 total

Yep, they only have 32 rooms, and we have already booked 16 of them, and I guess more will have been booked by normal folk. So as they run out prices were bound to go up.

After seeing the posts about rising prices for the best western i finally got in gear and booked a room, though ive not signed on for any games and out of my entire collection i only have 3 dwarf slayers that have been painted to a tabletop standard (not by me i hasten to add) but i dont care as im looking forward to seeing other people armies in action and being able to chat hobby with like minded people.

Didn't think I could get there until this week, so no option to book earlier. Even £100 seems a bit steep for two nights, I was expecting something cheap and cheerful in the region of £30 per night ...

Hmmmmm.... even more tempting. Happy to pay a proportion for use of the floor, and don't worry about the sobriety; I'm not planning on it either!
