Recently Asked Questions:
About parking:
Q. Do hotels have parking for personal or hired cars?
A. Hotels normally have parking for their guests, but you can email your
hotel or check on their website.
Q. Is there parking at The Albert Halls where
we are having services?
A. There is no large single car park for the Hall but plenty
of on street parking, especially down side streets. If you are staying at one of
the nearby hotels it would probably be easier for you to leave your car in the hotel
car park and walk.
About travel to Stirling:
Q. If I am flying in to Manchester Airport what options do I have to
get to Stirling?
A. Hiring a
car can be economic if you have the
time. The distance is 240 miles from Manchester. For
trains from Manchester
you can see the train schedules and prices at
www.nationalrail.co.uk. The actual schedule for October will only be on
the website in July. However taking current timing there are trains to Stirling
that typically take between 4 1/2 to 5 hours with two changes. Alternatively, one
of the budget
airlines, BMI, flies from Manchester to Edinburgh. Have
a look at prices at
www.flybmi.com. You
will then be able to decide whether hiring a car at the airport would be cheaper
for you. Airlines sometimes partner with car hire companies to offer better
prices if you book your car at the time of booking your flight.
Q. Which airlines fly to Stirling?
A. The nearest airport to Stirling is Edinburgh, 31 miles from
Stirling. The following international airlines fly direct to Edinburgh:
a. from the USA at present Delta (from Atlanta and JFK-NY), Continental (Newark-NY).
Q. How can I plan journeys by car?
A. A number of web sites will give you these details. Try the Maps
option of
www.google.co.uk for distances or
the Automobile Association's
www.AA.co.uk
for both distances and traffic/driving conditions. If you are hiring a car,
see how much an optional SatNav (GPS) would be to have in your car. Most
are detachable, so please remove them if you leave your car parked.
Registration funds:
Q. For some reason the web site does not accept my registration
funds. As you have difficulty with handling US$ checks what else can I do?
A. We have set up a temporary web page at
www.ucg.org.uk/donate.html . This has direct links to our
accounts on the secure web sites
Charity-Choice and
Paypal,
where you can choose to send funds using several types of credit card.
Please remember there are extra precautions with credit card security, so when
making your payment
(1) the address given must be the same as where your credit
card account is sent to you, and (2) the name must be as printed
on the card.
If you choose Paypal
you need a Paypal
account yourself. It is easy to create one on the same page. In the final section
after entering your details there is a box for describing the funds, add "Feast
2008 Registration" as a description.
Both sites should send you an email if the transaction is successful - providing
you entered your email address accurately. If you also let us know and we will check
that the funds then come through safely to the Feast account.
