Brittany break 2012 after Le Mans Classic (6th-8th July)

[blacknight]

Sorry to hear that Chris.

Hope all is well and will catch up some other time.

You did not mention your Olympic participation? You have kept your training under wraps

Also in possibly unrelated news local French supermarkets have decided to reduce their red wine stock holding for summer 2012 due to a Vito by united kingdom

Oh didn't I say, now that gin rummy is part of the olympics I just made the grade on count back.

Those plastic 5l barrels of plonk are really good value at 4 euros, now where's my white stick!!??

[Dico]

Really sorry Iain but we are going to have to pull out of this, due to personal reasons.
I can highly recommend this trip to anyone thinking about joining the group. It seems the Gite is now available.

My parents have asked me to publish their discount code for Brittany ferries, so that anyone can save a little bit of money!

Code is as follows F70237

Hope this helps!

Sorry for being thick, but I see names of days being mentioned. Are there confirmed dates for this trip now?

[blacknight]

I will be there between 9th - 19th July. Le Mans Classic is taking place 6th-8th July.

Anyone is welcome to stay (subject to space) around these dates. Bastille day (14th July) is a lot of fun with many events taking place (see previous years posts).

Cheers

Iain

Just a quick update!

My mum has offered to provide breakfast for anyone wishing to camp (for a nominal fee). This could free up valuable boot space for bargain booze etc, instead of making room for camping stoves

For those who have not attended previous years, the evening meals tend to be al fresco making use of BBQ and ample outdoor eating space.

Really looking forward to this now.

Cheers

Quick update time!

Having spoken to parents they will be finalising prices for bed and breakfast and camping shortly.

Payment is prefered in euros.

If anyone has any suggestions for day trips, or activities, then feel free to post them.

Plenty of space for campers wishing to come along
