Rallye des Jonquilles 2014

Got mine too!

It will be fine to register and pay with just a driver with your nav tbc. Thats what I'm going to do on Monday.

Also, if anyone is interested in taking Mission Motorsport nav please drop me a pm to discuss.

I assume there'll be a 'get-together' (ie a beer-up) on friday night in Arras with the Ben/Pistonheads group?

People staying at the Arras Ibis?

Sorry, I obviously meant the saturday evening.

[benjj]

Yes, absolutely!

I was thinking of suggesting the following meet up points:

1) M1 services v early Sat morn
2) UK side crossing late Sat morn
3) Arras bar Sat eve

Obviously all are optional but gives us a chance to get together.

I'm coming from Bruges so could arrange to meet this side of the tunnel/boat.

Not yet received my mail from Bruno

Am sure he's just busy, no harm in following up on email.

French tax system I'll wager.

[LordBretSinclair]

Can someone please confirm that the Arras Ibis is the preferred PH hotel??

Cheers.

[urraco62]

to "Freddie328" and "Sunbeam Alpine"
This afternoon, I sent back the entry forms by email.
(problem with email address ??????)

[sunbeam alpine]

Received!

Will fill it in and return ASAP.

Hotel Ibis seems to be the favourite?

[benjj]

Not looked into hotels yet but the Ibis are usually well priced.

I'll give the crossings some thought this eve and post up findings.

[sunbeam alpine]

I'd rather stay with everyone else (not too worried about price)

Can we have a consensus?

[benjj]

Ok, some thoughts:

M1 meet up I suggest at a suitable services around Jct 10 ish at 9am

Crossing on the eurotunnel at 1200, cost is £51 for the outbound leg.

Rooms booked at the Ibis or any other central Arras hotel.

Beers in downtown Arras from 5pm, possibly food too.

Sound about right?

[benjj]

To add; there is a 1205 ferry crossing with P&O at £39 each way.
