Important notice: complimentary parking at the Crowne Plaza is ONLY for those resident at the Crowne.

If you park at the Crowne but are not resident, you will most likely end up having to pay their standard rates. This would be completely out of the conventions control.

If you're heading to the convention today, please be sure to check your journey before setting off as there is some disruption due to flooding.

We heard on the grapevine that Brok arranged the General Election .... but ... he's not interested in power for himself ... only cookies!
