Ok just had the idea of this, there was talks of a Booze Cruise Meet awhile ago so why not have the EA's organise it the trip would consist of leaving from Dover and Gettin ferry over to France,
I picked the date of between Monday 2nd of June till Sunday the 8th to see what two days will be best for the majority of people who can make it, at most the tickets will cost £26 that includes the trip home, if i find out how many people will be willing to go with that price i can get a deffinate price for it, I will also look into B&B's and Hotel prices for the over night stay when i know how many would be able to make it, all of this will need to be paid for by the indiviuals allthough i would make a suggestion of splitting petrol money out between the people who are going in certain cars but will sort this out when i know who can go and who going can and will be willing to drive any help with organising transport would be really welcome
The price is different for age groups the age groups are 4-16 as juniors and over 16 are adults so those who are able to come please post your age with your post and ill work out how much each person will need to pay i guess the majority will be over 18 anyway so will all be around £26
So all those who are able to and will have the money please post anyone who is deffinatly not going to make it do not post please keep the posts down to those who can actually go or have full intention of going

cool trixter nice one good idea :banana: :banana: :banana:
-
i would come from kent,
and then u could do a bocking meet with us IB's
-
ill be 18 by then and if u get some interest im definatly up for this one =)
-
Any plans of where in france to go? Ive got pretty detailed plans for a day ( with an option of a 2nd) in Paris ( similar to capital bocking London but the french sites). Its over on the JJ site if you want to take a butchers includes accomodation.
Its also got links to a French forum ( cool to meet a few of them --tho to be honest there are not that many- and could advise on bock spots). Your dates are str8 after the walk for life thing in London. I dont know if either will impinge on the other?
IM interested but also off to the Mallorca meet end of April so need to check finances/who else would go /share petrol car tole etc.
If driving down from EA check New Haven Dieppe ferry, cuts out a load of boring ded driving in a frankly not very interesting bit of france ;D
-
i'm well up for that...ill be 17 then...not that sure though as i might have exams on those dates :-[
i'll check it out
-
@ Q i havnt really gone into to much research at the minute as didnt know who would be up for going on this meet, if i get more intrest in it ill find more out havnt really thought about where was thinking Paris myself if im honest with you if i get any more intrest drumed up for it then ill give you a shout,
This meet isnt just a strict EA meet just wanted to know how many of my group could make it first before offering it out to everyone, but all people are welcome
-
No :( exams...
-
You do realise if Magzzie goes he will be copping off with all the French boys..... ;D

-
My last exam is on the 4th, so if it was after then i would be very interested!!
-
I'm a bitover 18 but workmate say I act more like I'm ten :biggrin:
Have a Golf Estate and I'm more than likely be a Tigger so have space :thumbs:
Don't speak much French but love french fries and can :-* in French ;D
Sound like a fun meet ;D
By the way I NEVER drink and drive if that's helpful :Dark_Knight:
-
meet would be an overnight meet im hoping carl can make it and drive aswell i think, with me Dk and carl driving we would have enough room for people and bringin back what ever people buy drink, fags etc etc
@ Dk the meet is not about gettin hammerd its sort of a booze cruise aspect for the older group members but more about getting away for a few days bocking in another country aswell, its not going to be officially run and organised you can do your own thing there as well im thinkin of possibly making it longer then one night maybe make it a weekend
-
I was just pionting out that should anyone be heading via a pub I'd not be drinking ( Cokes the REAL thing ) :angel:
Oh one thing I'd have to add ! No fags in my car !? If you bring your own OK, but I don't like poeple buying fags when shopping with me in my car !? Odd I know but it's me ... Odd ;D
One thing I'd like to know ?
Do the bock on the other side of the street :biggrin:
-
let us know when you firm up a date and Ill see if any1 on the southcoast is interested
Mallorca may have put us off being together for extended periods :o)
-
I well want to go but it will well depend on the total cost I will be looking at.
-
:banana: i want to go to but again depends on money how much for b&b i f people dont mind sharing rooms or beds that would be cheaper and easier for some..... im well wanting to go so keep this uptodate ill check my work schedual to c if im off that week...
:banana:
-
I wud camp if it was practical lol. that wud be cheaper. Where abouts is the plan to go in france?
-
AHH now there is an idea..... camping...... not been in ages....
-
If i may ill chuck in a few ideas for where to go.
camping there are those 'already erected' style camp sites --cost s between camping and b&b.
Paris ( you are in the right corner) in style of last years CB
Head for Loire Valley? Fair few v picturesk medium sized towns un loads of chateaux
Finish on Normandy beaches . Must be a few pill boxes/ tank traps etc which would be ded bockable ---google earth calling?
-
Sweet Bbmthbloke some good suggestins......
-
If we went down to the loire, we might aswell go the full distance to the Dordogne lol.....then i can stop off at my house for supplies :P Camping is a good idea though!!!

-
Tis too far really for a couple of days!! would be better sticking to the north!!
-
The cold north.... :damnit:
le touque. I duno how you spell it...we flew there in cessna 172 before. maybe I could scaba lift across...hmm. Bocks could fit on the way there but boot full of wine and cakes way home hmm.
-
i would be up 4 a drive but i need dates hopefully take truck over there too :D
-
i havnt really thought about where to go exactly i was thinkin paris to be honest get some awesome pictures with the tower in background n stuff, like i said before tho im not officially organising this and ''running'' it i want suggestions so i know what people want to do and can try and do as much as possible
campin is a possibility, if people are all willing to go paris ill start looking for prices of bnb n camp sites etc
-
for Paris ,hostels prob best opion. There is a link to the site for all of them on the JJ site and a route round Paris. start eiffel tower, les innvelides,tulleries for lunch ( or maybe the artificial beach they put up each summer) pompedu cente, notre dame... well you get idea and all spelling is approx ;D
The vid Gixer supplied of the peeps in france. It looks to be 'La Defence'. its a northern suburb. Its an area of modern arcitecture (earliest about 1955) and out door sculpture park. Ive only seen pix but looks awesome spot
Also the thread has a link to a french forum.
update wasant la defence but do a google earth on the place
-
I so wanna go now...seems great and if we are gonna be in hostels it shoudl be quite affordable too :D
-
Just a thought for those of you seriously considering going on this trip. Do you all have E111 forms/cards now because if you don't it might be a good idea to get that sorted before you go.
If you don't know what they are basically away for you to get acess to any hospital in europe while you are away. It doesn't cost (I didnt pay). It's a gorvernment thing and you can pick up the paperwork form your post office. I have had mine years now. You used to have to carry a few pages of paper but now they issue with a card that fits in your wallet ;D
I just thought I would let you consider it. There are no downsides and might be useful if anybody does hurt them selves or get sick while away :thumbs:
***Please note this I dont know to much about this. It's now called EHIC apparently and there is some info here**

Ok as we all want to do this im going to suggest end of August im off for 2 weeks from the 17th till the 1st of September so if we come up with a date that suits most people i can find out about ferry tickets etc as they are different depending on when we go etc but if we do this at end of august its a good way to end the summer and it means all the students will be off college or school and could come, and everyone has loads of time to save money up and stuff, just a few things i need to know,
1, Who will deffinatly be going who can drive and if so how many people comfy could you fit in your car bearing in mind taking bocks and clothes etc for a few days
2, Will the minors parents be ok with there kids going away bocking in France for a few days
3, Where do people want to visit in France so i can come up with a rough guide for where we want to head to and how long realisticly we will want there to get some decent bocking time in
If there is more people going than we have cars for ill figure somethink out but im hoping all EA members who can drive will come such as Tok, Carl, Dk, and Hex if any other EAs drive just say i dont know of any others so give me your input if you cant go tho please dont hijack the thread thank you
-
