Club Arnage

Week ends in January 2007, that have been suggested for a CA meet in Jersey.

Can any of the locals tell me what ferry companies run and if then run in January as I am struggling to find one that goes from the UK to the islands.

Checked Flights and there is no problem around £60-£90.

 :-* :-* :-*

There is only one ferry company that comes from the UK to Jersey and that is Condor Ferries. I think you have the option of a fast cat which takes about 3.5 hours or the overnight traditional ferry. Its probably cheaper to fly but you only have the choice of BMI Baby, Flybe, BA and Thompson Fly (from Doncaster).

I hope lots of CA'ers will be able to make the trip.

Any Southerners can fly from Southampton with FlyBE for £66.

The return trip from St Malo via Condor seems to be about £50 or so for a foot passenger for the froggies.

sometimes the hotels over here do special fly/boat weekend rates.. especially off season.. so methinks I will do a bit of snooping around to find some deals ;D

The voting on this poll was 1 for December, 11 for January and 2 for Febuary. I have reset the Poll with Januarys week end dates for you to vote on them.
Thanks Brian





< Now a 'sticky' topic for a while, at Brian's request - Steve >

well I've re voted (thanks for that Brian ;)) and the 20/21 st look like the best for me (looking after darling kiddies :-\ the other dates

Andy

Am in a fix here Andy as we sought of thought Col di Turini on the 20th.  However, can do that 2008 if the following weekend is no good for others. So.. I haven't voted but count me in for any weekend you fix up.

 :-* :-* :-*

I've voted and I am all excited about the prospect of you all coming here already ;D

There is quite an active car club over here and my boss is one of the big cheeses in that so I ought to see if there is anything going on during January. If not I could try to arrange something. Their members have some top marques and a few classics to boot - they always look for an excuse to show them off.

Brian, being as you are organising the poll - I hope this means you will be coming over as well - would be great to see you.

Byeee

Lisa :-*

Last weekend in Jan looks favourite

Bit of a bummer that as that is the weekend that I have my kids :(

Guess you'll just have to dump 'em then fagey!

I dont think the courts would take likely to that :police: because the weekends are set out months in advance :o and so both me and the kids mother have to work out our future events carefully... last season I only got to our rugby club's league games lunches once.. and the absolute hell i got for the LM moto gp and 24hrs does not bear remembering >:(

I assume then that the former mrs fagey would not take kindly to their spending the weekend with a load of drunken sports car enthusiasts?

absolutely not.. she would go nuts(http://www.r1-forum.com/forums/images/smilies/rant.gif).. and I'm sure that the little darlings :angel: would love it... not    As they are 5,8 and 10

so we have a bit of a predicament

I would be interested in meeting up at some point over a weekend, work permitting. No real preference to dates being arranged.

For those who haven't seen the Island before. The inclusion of an Island drive would be good, with a decent route to take in some of the better sections of road and views. Broken up by a stop at somewhere like the 'Hungry man'. Essentially, what makes up a decent sunday morning drive on the Island.

As this was pretty much your idea in the first place fagey, maybe we should ask those who voted for the last weekend if they could still make the 20th. What does everybody else think?

I'm with Debs on this, Andey is Mine Host, has specific weekends available, we wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't for him.  FS

I have had a few private PM's on this matter, and also looked at all my availiable dates, and so just like le mans and other meets the date is going to be set at the weekend of Jan 20/21st (sorry to those who would like the other date :() but I hope this set date can be accomodated

I will have a chat with my hotelier mate about a room rate for then and will get back to you soon with the amounts.

Good. I too hope it doesn't stop too many other people - will be good.  As you know I'm off to Canada via the UK on Sunday, but book me a room.  Birthday cake optional.... ;)

Same goes for me, I miscalculated the weekends when I made my vote. So weekend of 27th one down, and the weeknd before one up!

YEEEEE HAAAAR ;D

Can't make 20/21st, but as the topic has got me thinking about Jersey. I will have a quick trip with wife last weekend in Jan so will link up with Lisa and any other Tax Dodgers

Ok folks looks as if you are now sorted, poll is now locked, should be a good weekend.
Regards.
Brian.
Mr Brown or Smokie, would you now un sticky it. Thanks.

My plan is to take the train to St Malo and foot-passenger it across. However, anybody from the South planning to take a car across who would like a contribution to the cost of the crossing should pm me.  Don't be surprised if I don't reply for a week or two though.

Beware of Condor Ferries Termie - the stewardesses are aliens and they steal husbands!

 :-*

Thank you for the warning.  However, Mr Termite will be fully occupied looking after my dobbins in the Sarthe.  I trust that said thief got her come-uppance. Oh, yeah, she did, she got a nice unreliable bloke so she can spend the rest of her life wondering if she'll be the next one to be dumped. ;D

 :-* :-* :-*

 ;D ;D ;D

I am completely envious. Have always wanted to see the Channel isalnds even before I had friends there.
Termie which part of Canada?
