A joint visit to Highclere Castle with IOW Group on 11th April 2026

Hi Mal

All correct for P&J, only query would be evening meal, have you sorted out the venue as we understand the listed one shown may be changed

Hi John,

As far as I know, as I have just got off the phone to Jeff again and the booking is still good to go.

Obviously, any changes will be notified via the forum in due course.

Best Regards

Mal

Hi again everyone,

I have just got off the phone again with Jeff and the hotel has confirmed the room bookings for those highlighted in green in column 4 (Staying at Regency Park Hotel), which equates to 12 poeple in 6 rooms.

The new Reservations Manager (Brazilia) has reserved us another 20 rooms, so if you do wish to book a room at the hotel, please let us know as soon as possible. Those that have already stated that they will not be staying over, need not reply :wink:

Finally, the White Hart booking for evening meal, is still in the “melting pot”, as they are currently going through ownership changes :roll_eyes: , so we will be in contact with them in Jan/Feb to confirm our booking with them but hopefully, al will be good :crossed_fingers:

Best Regards

Mal

Hi Everyone,

We have received the message below from Jeff on the IOW ref the Highclere visit next year.

WARNING. The hotel has been hacked and I have received suspicious email asking to reconfirm and re-add credit card details. DO NOT DO THIS- I have spoken to the hotel directly. The booking is not cancelled. Please delete and report the email if you can.

Best Regards

Mal

Hi again all,

I have spoken to Jeff on the small island again tonight (Monday 8th Dec)about the Hotel being hacked and fortunately very few people responded to the email, which is great news👍

Can I please ask everyone that received an email yesterday regarding their reservation at the Regency Park Hotel to let me know soonest, if they did respond to the email and we will check your reservation is still good :wink:

Best Regards

Mal

Patricia sent you her email received for clarification and did not reply to hacker

Yes, I remeber Patricia doing that and I replied at the time, so all is good👍

Best Regards

Mal
