Coffee/Lunch Meet at Stratford on Avon.
There's a dedicated
bike park just as you ride into Stratford on
the one way system on the right just in front of the Bridgeway multi
storey car park and opposite the Leisure Centre. Meet in the car park
around 11.00am. There's no parking charge and no entry for cars or vans,
as it's further away from the tourist trek it makes for a much better day
out and there's a pub just down the road.

21st - 24th (Fri - Mon) |
Long Weekend in Brugge.
Here are the details for Easter in Brugge. We will be staying at the Hotel
Europ, a 2min walk from the centre of this historic city. The price will
be €237.00 for a single, or €245.00 for a double, inc. breakfast. This is
for the 3 nights, Fri 21st March-Sun 23rd March, departing on Monday the
24th.This is approx £58.00 per night at today's exchange rate, which for a
capital City is very reasonable. Rooms are
limited, as it's Easter, so please confirm with me A.S.A.P. I also
need to know who wants to park in the secure garage, which will be a
further €3.00 per night. Ieper is 45mins ride away, where the last post is
played under the Menin Gate Memorial every night at 8pm, and we will end
up here on Saturday, after a short ride to the Tyne Cot memorial, for
those that wish.
Brugge is worth the visit alone, though, whether it be for
the bar advertising 400 different beers, or a trip on one of the boats to
see the city from the canals. All in all, a nice relaxing place to spend
Easter. Deposits will be required by end of Jan 2008, with payment in full
to the hotel on departure. The best ferry rate at present appears to be
Speed Ferries, which have a promotion on at £30.00 return. I have never
used this service, so can’t comment. Will probably use Norfolk line, new
boats and 25 miles closer to Brugge! Any query’s, please PM or email me,
or get me on 07770-827574 ( For Pics, see the events thread on Forum).
