stu

 

I'll be there.. Possibly 3:30 though as Emma has a party

 

Can't come as I'll be halfway to oblivion at that time (my birthday so its a good excuse) but can some one pm me or post info and give me a day or so to charm my missus?

 

Frosty... It'll be the back end of May.. when the second School Hols are on.. not sure of the exact date, but that should help??

 

we cant make the trip but if there is anything we can do to help organise let us know

 

My good lady says I can go , she might not be able to get time off, so if any monies wanted I'll bring to whoever needs it if you let me know, please.

 

Ian.. the meeting today is to get a £60 deposit.. so we can book the Ferries now.. this also helps that once people are pretty much committed and we have the numbers, we can then get the B&B's booked too.

You coming down at 3?

 

Meeting held.

It's been decided that we'll take the 2am ferries both outbound and inbound, at a total cost of £38, plus any possible booking fees.

Deposits of £40 have been paid by Al, Simon, Stu and myself to secure our places on the ferries, but they won't be booked until Friday 30th November, along with hotel bookings.

We will be having another Sunday afternoon meet in 2 weeks (Sunday 18th November) at the TP (Whitwood Inn) to take deposits for the hotels, and the total amount required will be announced before the end of this week.

The absolute final cut-off date for ALL deposits to be paid is this month's EOM meet, Thursday 29th November.

Anyone who has not paid by then will miss out on the initial block bookings, and may as a consequence end up on a different ferry or in different hotels, should they decide at a later date that they want to come.

In summary...

This week - Hotel prices announced
Sunday 18th - Meeting at the TP to discuss hotel bookings and take deposits
Thursday 29th - EOM meeting. Final cut-off point for ALL deposits to be paid
Friday 30th - Ferry and hotels being booked

The full itinerary of the trip itself is to be confirmed, but we would be looking to set off from Wakefield at around 7pm on Friday 23rd May, in order to get to Dover in good time for the 2am crossing. We can then have a steady drive down through France, taking plenty of time out for breaks, arriving at the first hotel for around 4pm Saturday

The return crossing would be on the following Saturday, again at 2am, which would mean getting home sometime around midday... ish

Clear as mud

 

As far as the route goes, I'm in the middle of putting all the details into a PDF document, which will then be distributed amongst all those going. It will also be made available as a TomTom Itinerary file which can be easily uploaded to your TT sat nav, just in case
