New Year at Hinckley

I decided to do the Just You new year break at Hinckley following a change in my circumstances and previous NY plans cancelled. The timing was perfect following my "Christmas in Croatia" holiday.

Basically its two days of fun and laughs and well worth doing. Personally enjoyed the food especially the first night which offered a great choice of 5 or 6 options which you choose from a list.

2nd night is a set meal which is fine but everyone gets the same so if it doesn't rock your boat its hard luck, i enjoyed mine though.

Entertainment was a disco on the 30th and a live band plus disco on 31st, just a big party really. Plenty of free drinks (champagne, wine, etc) before & during the meals although hotel bar a little expensive for those you buy.

I knocked around with a mix of people that were there last year and a few newbies and we had lots of laughs including on the trip to Warwick. Thanks to Pete, Julie, Heather, Sue, Val & Norma plus many others for helping to make it a memorable new year.

On the downside the hotel were having problems with the heating system and first nights meal was slightly uncomfortable. Was a similar situation last year i recall but think that was because they had been closed and it took 24 hours to warm through, this year it was a system fault.

Was a lot less people there this year, reckon numbers were down about 50% for some reason but still 70ish is a good number.
