Hi Paul
We hope to arrange the crossing via "le Shuttle" and hotel booking as a group thus getting (hopefully) a better deal. By making a group (15 vehicles or more) booking with Eurotunnel we will be kept together and loaded as a group.
There is a paypal account in place and when all is sorted it is hoped that folk will be able to spead the cost by paying into this account as and when they can afford it rather than having to find the whole amount in one lump.

Once we get into the new year and costs have been confirmed then the provisonal list will become an attendance list and a deposit will be required to confirm your place on the trip.
Cheers Ian.

So if you have been thinking about putting your name down please do it asap..

Cheers Ian/Andy
When you say 40 names do you mean 40 people or 40 cars? I'm just looking at the numbers already on the list.

Hi Ian. I have already had a butchers at the De Ruwenberg hotel and it seems they have got196 rooms, single and double rooms. The price I got from Booking.com was £270 for three nights ( fri/sat/sun ).Your price for a group is a good price.

Thanks for the feedback
I thought that was a reasonable price for what looks to be a very pleasant hotel
I invited 4 hotels to quote but only the one reply so far.
Cheers Ian

I did notice from the info on their site, that when booked , those that book can cancel, but it must take place one month before the date of residence, and that no deposit is taken. Can we not book as soon as possible to take advantage of what appears to be a good offer, based on what Booking,com is asking.

Ian, now you have the dates I've added them to your thread title for folk

This sounds like a great run abroad, I would have taken the V8, but I've just checked the dates and I'll be working on the Rugby World Cup coverage which starts on 20th

I have had a reply from euro tunnel.. Could you ALL please read copied email and let me know if you think your vehicle will not comply..
Thanks Ian


Dear Ian

Thank you for your email.

We can confirm we are able to provide you with a quote for your planned journey. Before doing so please may we ask if any of the vehicles require our single deck shuttle. Our double deck shuttle can carry vehicles up to 1.85m high and up to a maximum of 1.90m wide. If the vehicles are higher, wider or have low ground clearance these would need to be booked as high cars to allow loading space.

Please advise if any of the vehicles require our single deck shuttle.

We look forward to hearing from you soon.
Kind regards,
Sarah

Mine is a standard ZT saloon on standard springs. So no special requirements needed here
