always thought this was an ideal venue but something tells me the bottomless pockets of so called "asian weddings" mean anyone else is priced out. room rates are the cheapest at weekends for central Birmingham , me and some friends stayed there new years eve as a triple room was cheaper than a taxi home

I'd deffo put you forward to start organizing a new UKPP. Without going back and looking at previous years I couldn't say when they would usually announce it.
If he was letting it go, I'm sure you all would've heard about it by now. Hope I'm wrong, but I'll guess it will be a load of spiel about costs and so just have it in a warehouse again.
Even that said, it feels like it's being left to late to start dicking about booking weekends off, making dates free etc.
