YHA - Booking & reservation approach modified
Fri, 10 Feb 2006 17:55:02 GMT
This one's may raise a few hackles!
I've just booked several nights at 3 hostels during the summer.Total cost
approx ¡ê250
Max cost for any 1 hostel - say ¡ê95
This year I was told by each hostel that as the booking is for less than
¡ê100, it had to be paid for at the time of booking!
Now as I'd spent a c ...

Staying at the hostels before they close
Tue, 7 Feb 2006 21:33:12 -0000
I've been mulling over whether there is anything "grass roots" that can be
done to save some of these hostels.
What if as many people as possible (YHA Local group members and their
friends, other groups such as CTC and Ramblers, individuals and families
etc etc) try to visit these hostels sometime before th ...

Sun, 5 Feb 2006 22:18:13 -0000
Hi,
I'm new to this newsgroup - what prompted me to put in my 2p here is the

1 in 7 YHAs to close
31 Jan 2006 17:38:58 -0800
What can I say. 1 in 7 hostels are closing over the next 3 years.
That's shocking, but I must also say I'm not that surprised. I was
expecting more closure announcements to come. The hints have all been
there in the last couple of years. YHA have been leading us up to it.
The 'body language' was all there.

Trying to Find Accommodation.
Fri, 20 Jan 2006 12:04:43 +0000
My first port of call, is of course the YHA website -www.yha.org.uk. It
all looks easy at first. I see the list of hostels down the side and
click the "book now" button. Of course now will work unless I've
disabled my security features and are willing and are willing to run
someway elses scripts/programmes ...
