From Cal

I think this is addressed to the group as it currently stands. If anyone knows differently please let me know.

As those of you that have been on similar trips before will be aware, I can often obtain good rates for the crossing with P&O, sometimes in conjunction with Ian who works in the Port.

This trip is planned for Sat 19th / Sun 20th July which will be approaching a “peak” weekend which may mean that we cannot obtain such large discounts as we have on some other occasions but we will probably get a good deal. The worse deal would be “Family and Friends” rates which are 25% below the published rate at time of booking. As it is July there is a slight possibility that concessions may be withdrawn but this is unlikely. 

If you wish us to proceed on your behalf and obtain tickets I will require e-mail confirmation along with make of bike and reg number, the bike details are not essential but will speed up check-in on the day.  Assuming that we can obtain an acceptable deal I will have to take it and pay for it then and there, there will be no opportunity for us to canvass the groups saying “Its going to cost £.... Is that OK? 

I will be quite happy to pay for the booking when made but require your confirmation that you will pay me, even if you decide to pull out, as  it’s a once it’s done, it’s done, no refunds deal.

Should anyone not be comfortable with this and wish to make their own travel arrangements and meet up in Calais, again please let me know.

Paul, who is leading this event has specified that departure on Sat 19th should not be later than 08:00 and return not before 18:00 on 20th.  We will try to get as close as possible to these times.

I assume that all involved have made their own arrangement for the overnight stay.

Thanks and good ridng.
