Guys, both added to the list. I have no problem with a bit of US mussel, as long as he does not have the accent!

OK Guys;

I will need £210 per couple by the end of July 2010. This will pay for your room for both nights and the 60% deposit for the casino meal [including wine].

Refunds can only be given up to the 15 Aug, after this I will do my best to get a refund for you but cant assure you will get 100% back.

I will PM you all with details of how to send the funds this weekend.

Thank you
Pete

No problem just give me a shout near the time. I take it we need to arrange our own ferry or tunnel over?

We have not got enough for a group booking [Needs min 15 for the chunnel] What we did last time is book on the same crossing but listed the vehicles a 'High' Car with roof box. That way we all ended up at the same lane and were loaded onto the coach decks with lots more clearance than the two story carragies.

Weekend details will list a suggested depart times and there will be plenty of time to book our crossings.

Ok, just spoke to Rachel, we are confirmed.

We are going to need to stay at a cheapy hotel near Dover for the Thursday night as there is no way we can get to Dover for 8.45 Premier Inn is £50 for the room, 3 miles away, Travelodge, 18 miles away in Ashford, £30.

Anyone else going to do the same.

Pete, my mate David (and Sally) has he contacted you about the trip, as I see his is confirmed.....he has not to me and said he would confirm to me a week ago to which he has not as yet....which means he is probably not coming?

Dem, great to have you and your young lady also, this is a great trip to do.
