Not exactly, so don't get too excited, I want to let you all know of a few major (one enforced) changes to this year's event.
We plan to leave the UK on Saturday 28th July by Norfolk Lines ferry and/or Eurotunnel train. We will meet mgf.be at Veurne as we did in 2006 for the Day beFore, we will stop off for lunch again at Ardooie then on, via a different route to Mechelen for the overnight stops. At the moment Norfolk Lines (until the end of the month) are showing a great price deal that I will be looking in to when I have a bit more time, I will let you all know, you need a reference number to get it. The on-line price is £63 return for the ferry and £118 for the train at the moment.
Here lays the first change, thanks to the New Zealand Rowing Team, we cannot stay at the Hotel Vé it is fully booked for one month July 18th - August 18th for the World Rowing Championships, Hannelore is truly upset, however she has done us a great favour and booked 33 rooms for me in the nearby 4* Best Western Hotel at a reduced rate of €75 double/twin and €65 single. This hotel has adequate parking and restaurant space.
The rest of the details will be put up when we have finished the planning, there are a number of interesting changes that I think will be pleasantly received.
We plan to return on the Monday afternoon via the same route as last year.
For the moment I need (another list I'm afraid) names of those that are interested in attending, costs will be the same as last year, give or take a Euro I believe. I will also be asking for a deposit when the final plans are made and sent to you.
The first 33 will get the rooms on a first come first served basis, if we require others Hannelore will organise this for us, I feel a visit to the Hotel Vé in order to say hi and thanks during one of the two evenings we will have in the town, there is an idea that I am working on for Saturday that I think you will all like.
