If you do struggle with a hotel let us know - we can probably point you in the direction of some B & B nearby with an F owner.

Help!!! Links again please for hotels!!! Where are Tony and Andy staying? I'm guessing they are having a problem finding a hotel like I am due to late-ish decision! Andie, I think I'm right in saying that most of us are staying at the Ibis, Angouleme Nord, Hotel Code 1096. Check out: www.ibishotel.com/ibis/fichehotel/gb/ibi/1096/fiche_hotel.shtml . I've just checked the site and can book from Thur thru Sun Nights (assuming 1 double), so accommodation is still available! There is a Mercure and a Formula 1 hotel on the same site, but the Mercure only had rooms for the Saturday and Sunday when last checked (ie not the Friday) due to a sales conference or something. Check out: www.mercure.com/mercure/fichehotel/gb/mer/0397/fiche_hotel.shtmlIt's mentioned above somewhere, but there is also a Campanile about 5km away. I'm sure Tim has the full details. As John says, BOOK IT NOW ;D You can always cancel it later if circumstances dictate Lots more information on Tim's SEF site: www.mgcars.org.uk/runnymede-mgoc/mgpitfiles/ramparts/angouleme06.htm , including a report and pics of last years event in Monaco - you can see what you missed! Go on, book it, you know you want to....... Edit: Tim can obviously type faster than I can ;D

I could have sworn this was earlier in Setember then it is, obviously I didn't read it too well.
I won't be able to make it as I leave for Spain on the 7th and won't be back till almost the end of the month.
Sorry guys.

Need to bump this up the list a bit.
Do we have an up to date list of attendees? Arrival & Departure dates? Ferry bookings?
I've booked hotel but can't remeber the dates and still haven't booked a ferry. Not sure whether we will extend the trip at the start or end or, possibly, both.

OK then, to take up from Mr P above, our outline plan is:
*Ferry out Sunday 10th *Spend some time down the west coast around the La Rochelle area-ish *Arrive Angouleme Thursday 14th. 4 nights booked @ Ibis *Return ferry Tuesday 19th.
That's it, so far.

Booked the hotel for Friday to Sunday night. Not booked ferry etc.
Was thinking about leaving UK, Thursday am. Stop near Le Mans Thursday night, arrive in Angouleme on Friday morning (is the plan to still go for a Run on Friday ?).
Going home, leave on Monday morning, possibly stop Rouen (area) on Monday night then home on Tuesday.
Speedferries are doing £29 each way at the moment.

I'm sure we'll meet many of the trippers in the shared hotel car park. They've probably prebooked most of the rooms in the Mercure where I wanted us to be. Could mean a big crowd in the hotel bar at night.
Geant is just about across the road from the IBIS but needs a bit of 'up to the roundabout, back down tuther side and hang a left' - loads of good piccies at Geant.
