In preparation for the 2022 XBC Awards Dinner, which this year is being held at the Holiday Inn Dumfries on Saturday 19/11/2022, the XBC Team would like to invite you to book your Hotel Room now in order to avoid disappointment.

Set in the grounds of the stunning Crichton estate on the outskirts of Dumfries, expect an evening of good food, good craic, some entertainment provided by your hosts, and maybe even an award or two.

This is a “dog friendly” Hotel (with the exception of the main restaurant), and has been selected in response to Competitor feedback on this subject. Let Dave know if you intend to bring your dog, and he will provide more information.

We have negotiated a discounted room rate, and currently have a number of rooms being held for us, but we would encourage everyone to book early (NOW !!) as the discounted rate will stop 30 days before the event, and any unbooked rooms will then be released.

There is an even better rate available for a two night stay and we would encourage people to explore the delights of Dumfries & Galloway (or further afield if you wish) by joining us on the Friday as well.

Bed & Breakfast room rates are £45 per person based on two people sharing for a one night stay, £40 per person per night based on two people sharing for a two night stay. Single occupancy supplement is £25 per night.

The Holiday Inn Dumfries hotel rooms can be booked by calling 01387 272410 option 5 (reception) (9-5 Mon-Fri) and quoting CROS181122.

This event is open to all Competitors, their families and friends, and anyone involved with or connected in any way to the XBC.

Drop us an email to let us know when you have booked your Hotel room. The Dinner itself will be bookable through the XBC website in due course.

We are very much looking forward to our new venue, and to taking a short break to explore and enjoy the surrounding area. We very much hope that you can join us there.
