How to Book
Go to the website of Premier Inns www.premierinn.com Navigate to their Cambridge North Girton motel and enter the dates of the nights you want to stay. 18th 19th and 20th March 2025. Select two adults if you’re a couple, one if you’re single. Search for prices.
There are three ways to pay: Flex, Advance and Standard. Standard is cheapest but there’s no refund if you change your mind or get ill. Recommend Flex or Advance.
At the time of writing the Advance deal is showing £296 for two adults in one room for three nights. The closer to March you wait, the more expensive it will become.

There are other ways to book e.g. booking.com, Trivago that could be cheaper. I cannot offer advice here, make your own decisions
So far, you have only informed me of your interest in attending. If you have now decided for certain and booked the motel, please let me know by email. alansharpe44@hotmail.com so I know exactly who to expect.
Duxford
The museum offers a car club visit. I quote
“Visiting as a car or owners club you can enjoy a bespoke display show area, early access and a full day at IWM Duxford. For enquiries, please e-mail duxfordevents@iwm.org.uk”
I have made enquiries to see if this might suit our needs.
Thursday 20th
Free choice of where you go. Google “attractions near Cambridge” to see what might suit your taste.
Bletchley Park and the National Computer Museum is an hour’s drive away.
There are some fascinating museums in Cambridge.
National Trust Wimpole Estate is nearby
