Mongoose Open Day - Where to stay and getting there

The Hobbybox

Mongoose
Just thought I'd post a few details to show people how to get to the open day.

The open day is being held at:
Croft Sports Centre, Marlborough La, Swindon, Wiltshire, SN3 1RA

Accomodation in Swindon is pretty good and the nearest hotel is the Marriot, literally just round the corner.

A slightly cheaper alternative would the new Travelodge (http://www.travelodge.co.uk/find_a_hotel/hotel/hotel_id/335/SwindonCentral) in the town centre.

To get from the town centre to the Croft centre you can find bus details at http://www.thamesdown-transport.co.uk/
but for ease the following routes will get you there:
11
11A
71
You can see all the bus routes on the following map from Thamesdown bus company
http://www.thamesdown-transport.co.uk/images/map_net.pdf

Buses will generally depart from the bus station or the many bus stops on Fleming Way (shown as the road with all the lettered stops in the Town Centre on the map). This is just round the corner from the Travelodge.

If you also need a break then I can recommend a quiet walk in the Town Gardens park (just be careful of the squirrels, they have no fear!)

Hope this is helpful.
