So what's everyone's plans for this?
I can help out if required Chet?
Otherwise I'll be driving up from Witham for the event if anyone wants a lift.

Just found an email detailing accommodation around Mildenhall that was sent out for a Pose Clinic there tomorrow.
Some overlap with Gube's info, but additional comments may be of interest. In case you are wondering the Friday and Sunday Clinics referred to below are the ones on the base.

Bird and Hand is closest as far as the Friday and Sunday clinics (5 minutes) and 10 minutes from the Saturday Clinic but it is a little on the shabby side. Old Bull Inn is about 10 minutes from both sites I've eaten there several times and heard the rooms are great. Riverside Hotel and Worlington Hall are about 3 minutes drive from each other and both are pretty upscale from what I've heard. They are less then ten minutes from the Saturday Clinic and about 10-12 from the Friday and Sunday Clinics. I haven't heard much on the Suffolk Hotel Golf & Leisure so I really can't comment on it.
Old Bull Inn: Phone: 01638 711001 Site: http://www.bullinn-bartonmills.com/
Bird and Hand: Phone: 01638713247 (Don't suggest this unless you don't have transportation)
Riverside Hotel: Site
Worlington Hall: Phone: 01638 712237 Site
Suffolk Hotel Golf & Leisure:(This one is about 25 minutes
away) Site
