Where is it?​

High Wycombe Judo Centre
http://www.wycombejudocentre.co.uk/
A purpose built martial arts centre with matted training areas, changing rooms and showers, on site parking, and a social bar area overlooking the main Dojo.

Getting There​

Road
The location is just off one of two M40 junctions for the town and close to the M4 and M25 routes.

Buses or taxis
You can get a taxi or blag a lift from the central bus station. The Booker/Lane End one (032A) is most likely to be the best choice.

You either want the Turnpike Corner West stop or the Lansdell Avenue Stop. The Judo Centre is in Barry Close.

Rail
The station (with trains roughly every 20 mins) is on the Birmingham to Marylebone line, so you can get intercity to one of those locations (or Banbury) and then switch.

Alternatively you can get the tube to Amersham and get a bus or taxi.

Anyone going from Nottingham? Wouldn't mind attending and could perhaps arrange travel with some other Mapper's if local.

 

Will book this off work as missed the last one due to a competition that clashed.

Sweet. Will be in touch closer to the event then. Will sort some tickets out in the new year.

 

How much is it?

 

£25

 

This would be quite a trek for us Yanks. How are the hotels over there? :thinking:

 

You can stay in Mitch's love-dungeon. There are plenty of "beds" for you to use. May need a wipe down first mind.

 

Basic but functional. Pretty cheap too depending where you book and with which company you go with.

Provisionally I'm down, I already have permission from the wife (unlike last time!) . I just need to chat to the people I will need a lift from (I'm coming from the South West).

I was pretty peeved I missed the last one, I am not going to miss this one.

 

I'll bring a hazmat suit for sleepwear.
Anyway,we'll see about plans.

 

There are quite a few Bed and Breakfast places in High Wycombe plus the commercial chains Holiday Inn and Premier Inn both have hotels there.

 

Mitch's house was featured on MTV's Cribs. The episode title was 'Hostel.'

 

Too early to confirm anything,but I'll be aspiring to this come next year.

 

Hi All,

1) Really need to get some new people attending - I will try my best to bring my Tai Chi and Self Defence / Karate students and I'll spread the word....

2) Hope to be able to share something NEVER SEEN BEFORE at a MAP MEET (And NO it's not the spot on my - - - )

 

The last one was brilliant. The next one sounds brilliant too. Will buy my ticket when I have the cash

 

If I do make it out across the Pond,I'll be doing the whole day Meet.

 

I plan on it, I might even actually make it this year!

Beers after?
