Fellow travellers
We missed out on the organised dinner last year simple because we didn't know anyone :(
Although we had paid "all in" we met a great group from SELOC and accepted their kind invitation the spend the evening with them in Ypres :D :cheers:
I think we will see what develops on Wednesday

All, please remember: First Elan team to arrive (probably Ivo) at the end stop has to reserve a diner table for our Elan Friends!


:agree:

We're up for that :cheers:

We should also meet Wednesday evening at the Menin Gate,
but we will eat before hand ?

FELLOW FERRY USERS!!

Don't mean to sound as if granny sucking eggs etc etc, but when you are directed onto ferry do not let the marshalls force you up any ramps. Sit tight on the level you enter the boat and park on that level.

If you try to go up a ramp you WILL loose your exhaust!

Expect to arrive Ariane c4:30 local time. So see you all nearby bar or in hotel.

Safe journeys! :burnout: :burnout: :cheers:

Thanks - the yellow team lotus has been removed now - it was a low cost way of updating the look - I'm pleased with it :-)

Not good trip to the ferry, pouring rain. Now on the ferry, flat calm, ferry half empty. See you in the bar.

Cheers Chris

Thanks Gareth :-)

In the bar now, large Leffe blonde ordered, no more driving for me. Loads of roadworks in town plays havoc with the sat nav. Oh and the cobbled streets have removed most of my fillings. Lovely hotel though.
