I was going to drop HM off at her fathers and go off somewhere else. However I may just go out to lunch with them, spend the afternoon there and pop over to Shardlow to meet you all. best leave it as if I turn up she's in a good mood. Fine. We meet on the top floor of The Clock, the old warehouse by the canal.

jak Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 BTW, we are doing the ferry going and tunnel coming back, so I'll let you know which is cheaper after I've been. John
Norman Verona Posted January 28, 2013 Author Posted January 28, 2013 The ferry is cheaper, the tunnel quicker. I would use the tunnel every time as I consider the extra cost is worth the drive on-drive off and 35 minute trip. But HM won't go on it. She's heard of horror stories of trains breaking down in the tunnel and as she claustrophobic is scared to try it.
Norman Verona Posted March 2, 2013 Author Posted March 2, 2013 Just to remind those booked in before the 31st January deadline. Quote And, we'll throw in another special offer on top of that massive discount. Anyone booking before 31st January can pay on the 1st May. After 1st February payment with booking will be required. I'll send out emails mid April with bank details and amount due for payment for 1st May. Payment will be in Sterling to a UK bank so no hassle.
Norman Verona Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 Thought a timely reminder would be in order. We're fully booked for August but have at least one gite from now until last week in July and both are still free for September. I was a bit upset that I had to turn someone down yesterday as they wanted an August date.
Norman Verona Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 Last word from me (were have we heard that before!!!!) We have a few weeks left in September, all of August is booked. So, if you fancy a week of piece and tranquility then book it now.
SootySport Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 Our Brian, aka Tyson is on his way to see you soon, Proper country accent he has.

Norman Verona Posted July 23, 2013 Author Posted July 23, 2013 From Colchester? That's not country it's cockeniegh
SootySport Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Mid & North Essex boys talk with a proper country accent, if they have lived there all their lives. Essex is very rural except alongside the Thames where we speak Estuary English, like, know wat R mean.
Norman Verona Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 I've nothing against Essex lads and lasses, my kids were dragged up in the county. Barkingside and Chigwell, ooh aaarh
Norman Verona Posted August 22, 2013 Author Posted August 22, 2013 Thought I'd bring this back to the top. We still have some weeks free in September and early October if anyone wants a nice chilling break.
Norman Verona Posted December 13, 2013 Author Posted December 13, 2013 Just getting next years offer together. The price will have to rise as I underestimated the cost of tea, coffee, milk, sugar, soap and shampoo. Also we need some "extra" to build a fund to replace the roof and decorate. The current price of two person gites in the Pay de la Loire is about £600 and that doesn't always include bedding and towels, you have to bring your own. So, what would you say was acceptable given that they are a non-profit making, club resource. last years price was £85 per week.
Speed Freak Posted December 13, 2013 Posted December 13, 2013 even if you upped the price to 150 pound- its still a bargain either way- heating your home, with hot water, and electricity wouldnt be a lot cheaper than that! and dont think it will change peoples minds of coming or not!
