French 480 Meeting

Sophie · Post by **Sophie** » Tue May 16, 2006 11:07 am

Hiya everyone !

As usual, we're organising a Volvo meeting in France, at the end of the summer.

This year it's in Charente Maritime, just south of La Rochelle, on the 26-27th of august.

For the moment, there are 20 cars and 28 people coming.

I will do my best to find hotels for everyone, but I will have to end the registration 1st week of june, so as to sort the hotels out.
If anyone registers after that, I won't be able to help with the hotels/camping, so you will have to deal with it yourself.

All details are here and the registration form is here

If you've got any questions, send me a pm or an email at sophie@volvo-480.org

Hope to see you soon in sunny france

Sophie

La Touche ?! Where's that ? It strangely rings a bell...

south east of Rochefort, about 7 miles, between saintes and rochefort. N137, 3 miles north of Beurlay is more accurate.

I second that howl of laughter!
For someone thats "Good", you sleeping bag didnt stay long with one person in it at the scottish meet last year!!

Yes, but to be fair, that was an unwarranted intrusion on JTs personal space at some ungodly hour by someone so drunk all reason had clearly left their particular planet.

At least, i think that's what happened..

VanDerGraaf · Post by **VanDerGraaf** » Fri May 19, 2006 8:15 pm

Christ, i've hit the 1000 posts barrier and given it a good smashing too!

Hadn't realised....

I quite like the sound of this meet but i'm intimidated by the rustiness/deletion/non-existence of my French....

Just talk loudly and wave your arms - doesnt work for filling in the form though

I had a French flatmate for 3 years, I like French people!
But my French is still shit!
I'm probably better with written to be honest...

YAY ! My JT wants to sleep in my tent !

The only problem is that I'll be sleeping in my bed, at my parents place, so you'll really really have to be nice to my parents for them to let you sleep with me in their house

However, I'm sure we can find a quiet corner, in a field somewhere for a bit of peace and quiet before announcing the wedding...
