Just in case anyone's not picked it up from Porl's various French run
posts and our miscalleneous comments scatterred around, we'll be
having a fest chez nous on July 17th.

Some folk (Champ and Porl at least, plus a.n.other) will be riding
down on the Saturday - I'll prolly meet them partway, or summat, so
anyone else wanting to do so should arrange ferry times etc. with
them. We'll be spending a few more days round and about, but that's
optional, of course.

The fest itself will include the normal stuff, Beer, BBQ, swimming
pool, possibly some DIY music and maybe even a "catch the plane in the
searchlight beam" competition, depending on which way they're taking
off from Basel Airport.

All welcome, plenty of camping space, dossing room for quite a few.

As mentioned elsewhere, Easyjet flights to basel available for about
60 notes from liverpool, 100 from Stansted, if anyone just wants to
jet in and join us. Let us know in advance!

OK, I doubt if this'll get many more takers, but don't say you weren't
invited!

Given I'll be in the UK then, I'll look at the situation a bit later and
maybe get a flight. Just depends on house sales and things. I'll give
you a shout by email if I can make it.

If it sways anyone, the chunnel 'Summer Special' is £50 return for a
bike if you book online & travel around 13.00/14.00 weekdays.

I may yet come, today people have ****ed me off so much at work I'm
tempted to leave them to it and **** off whilst all hell breaks loose.

Tomorrow I go in and negotiate for my freedom...

Do it[1]. YKIMS.

>Tomorrow I go in and negotiate for my freedom...


Negotiate? That's the wrong attitude to start from. Just tell them
you'll be away and let them sort it out without you...


[1] Note to Champ & Porl - _how_ early were you planning to leave on
the Saturday ?

Usually that would be fine. in this case I'm supposed to be covering for
someone that week, plus the person that would usually cover for me is
away... And my boss is on holiday. It's a ****ed up week for me and no
mistake.

But hey, that's part of the challenge..

They can leave before me if they want to, I'll catch up.

Depending on what daytime you'd be arriving, I might be able to, or
anyone else what's around. I'm sure we'd sort something out.

You need to travel out from UK at 14:00, or later - back from France
before 14:00 - AND the trip must last a minimum of 5 days.
