I have just been on trying to find out more about Walsall - a venue I"ve not played at before - and how to get there.
Flights to Birmingham (Friday/Saturday to Monday) are available for less than £40 Return on www.bmibaby.com from Glasgow, £47 Return from Edinburgh. A Taxi from Birmingham Airport (B26 3QJ) to Grosvenor Walsall (WS2 0LE) would appear to be the quickest option at just 25 minutes.
I"m gonna be trying like a bear to make this Event so would appreciate any input from APATers who"ve played here before, done the travelling bit and who can recommend a place to stay.

We drove there, its a nice drive, took about 5 hrs I think.
We stayed at the Premier Inn Walsall. Its a nice hotel, cheap and clean and comfortable with a restaurant and bar (some sort of Beefeater) right next door and within walking distance of the casino. £49 a night for the room.

Can"t help you much Neil. I drove there from Lancashire, it should have taken 2 hours, took 5! I was 2 hours late for my first APAT national! >:( Got knocked out by 9 pm sat in fog for 2 more hours on way home!!

Neil, just spoken to Caz who has put me straight on the hotel situation in Walsall.
We stayed at the Quality Hotel, and Caz minded me that it wasn"t "quality". Mary"s suggestion is the one to go with.
MAIR:
If I remember right there was an accident or something which delayed every1, and a lot turned back that day as they couldnt get thru
