Hi to all, As discussed with a few of you at Le Mans and Donington, I'm trying to organize a booze-up in my office at Rotterdam. The weekend we have planned is the 25th and 26th of November. Plan is quite simple; I'll get the beer pump out and I will convert my hall into a space were we can have a drink and a talk. When you've had enough you find yourself a space somewhere in the office to sleep. As we are on an industrial estate on a Saturday night, we won't have too much trouble from any neighbors complaining about noise etcetra. There's a shower and a coffee machine for the next morning, so all is taken care off. We've done it before, last January we had a beer-testing night. Basically we tested two different beers, and the beer you drank at Le Mans at our place was the one we chose that night. Photos to be found underneath, more are on this site (click!). We did some go-karting as well then, if all interested and arrive at a decent time (Saturday noon) we could consider doing this again... PM me if you're interested. There might be some cars driving over, getting a lift might be interesting in this matter. JPC and RCutler already showed interest. |

Right Back on Topic!!
I can get a ferry with Norfolkline for £69 (Dover-Dunkerque). I would expect to use about 100 litres of Diesel for the run at about £90.
Therefor if I you want a lift then:
2 of us:- £79.50
3 of us:- £53
4 of us:- £39.75
Flying KLM is currently £90. I would expect that it will take around 4 hours from Dunkerque to Rotterdam. If there are only a couple of us in the van then I can carry about 30-35 cases of beer aswell. The more poeple the less space/weight.
Let me know if you are intersted.
Alternatively we can take a car?

That's a great idea. Sign me up for this one. I'll provide some German brew for testing.

Sounds like good idea, but have a small problem, It's my birthday on Sun, and I think I have to be around for some reason.
but for anybody who can get to London City airport, flyvlm will do a return flight for £90.80 inc tax.
No good for me as I'm a Northern now.
Found these prices as I'm trying to get to Paris end of Sept.

Good to see the Germans show interest! I think the mentioning of beer was the catch. |

FYI: It will be Heineken this time, not the German brand we had at Le Mans. You mentioned bringing some beer over, helles Hefeweizen is always nice...  Enjoyed it again at the BMW unit at Zandvoort this wekend. |

Paddy's just 10 minutes away from the Rotterdam Airport and about an hour from Amsterdam. Transportation can be arranged to and from the airport.
