NEWCON 4:
Accomodation

Ibis Northampton Centre
Ibis Northampton Centre is just 5 minutes walk from the Newcon 4 venue, the Fishmarket and only 200m from the train station, the Ibis Northampton Center is located in Sol Central (big leisure centre with cinema, casino, fitness club). Close to the M1 motorway, the hotel has 151 rooms, some with wireless Internet access, including 8 accessible rooms. Amenities include LE CAFE restaurant, a bar offering snacks 24 hours and pay parking. Golf and tennis facilities only a few kilometres from Northampton. Pets accepted. [map]

Drivers on the dual carriagway heading up the map should turn left immediately after the restaurants fronting the hotel for the public indoor car park, which at the moment costs £10 per day. There’s an entrance directly into the Ibis from first floor of the car park.


Ibis - General Room

So far we have reserved 20 twin rooms and 10 doubles for Friday 10th October, 32 twins and 68 doubles for Saturday 11th, and 20 twins plus 10 doubles for Sunday 12th October. (The hotel has a maximum of 32 twins.) This is based on the assumption that most people will turn up on the Saturday morning and depart on Sunday late afternoon. If demand proves large enough, as of now (March 2008) we can still reserve more rooms

Rooms cost £50 per night, whether twin or double or single occupancy of a double. Continental breakfast costs £5.25 unless you stay 2 nights, in which case breakfast is free.

To book a room in the Ibis: preferably post a cheque for £50 made out to “Newcon” to our Treasurer Ian Pursey, 16 Albany Road, Northampton NN1 5LZ, specifying FRI and/or SAT and/or SUN; also TWIN or DOUBLE. (Smokers: see below.)

If you wish to pay using PayPal, we regret we must ask for a £2 booking fee to cover PayPal’s 4% fee. Accordingly, please transfer £52, using this form:

Room Type
Nights

If you are only staying for one night, all is now done!

If you are staying for more than one night, we will need the balance (of either £50 more for 2 nights, or £100 more for 3 nights by cheque – or £52/£104 by PayPal) by 31 August 2008. In the case of more than one night, if we don’t receive the balance by 31 August we will release the room and refund the £50 deposit.

If you request a twin room and these run out, we will reserve a double for you, notifying you by e-mail, or by post if you have no e-mail address. "HB" will appear after your name on the Membership List at the next updating, meaning "Hotel Booked".

Members are responsible for any extras, such as breakfast, if only staying one night.

Smokers please note: For the Friday and Sunday nights we have reserved 7 smoking rooms & 23 no-smoking rooms (although of course you aren’t obliged to smoke in a room where smoking is permitted!) and for the Saturday we have reserved the hotel’s total of 16 rooms where smoking is permitted, plus 84 no-smoking rooms. All smoking rooms are doubles, so if you indicate “Smoking” on your room reservation you must also opt for a double room.
