ypresman Posted 29 January , 2007 Share Posted 29 January , 2007 Hi We will be there from the 7th-10th in Ypres (maybe the Somme), with the exception of the 9th, which we will spend in France for the re-dedication of Vimy and the battle of Arras. Cheers Marc. PS ..you're from my neck of the woods, so at least we can understand each other... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CROONAERT Posted 29 January , 2007 Share Posted 29 January , 2007 Will be over from the 3rd to the 12th. Staying mainly at Boiry Notre dame (near Monchy le Preux), but will be "flitting" between Ypres (possibly staying at Kemmel for the first few nights (fallen out with the Jeugdstadion at Ieper! - though I may give them another chance yet!)), Armentieres/Loos and the Somme with Arras definately on the 8th , 9th and 10th. (When in Ieper, just look out for the (probably) slushed up Man Utd fan or the English speaking FC Brugge supporter wearing the Prussian belt buckle - it's invariably going to be me! ) Dave.

mikebriggs Posted 31 January , 2007 Share Posted 31 January , 2007 We'll be down on the Somme (Flers) between the 9th and 14th April. Probably drift up to Lens/Lieven and also over to Bellenglise for the odd day trip. I can't keep the kids out of Tommies Bar! so you'll find us there at least two nights that week (mon and tue) if not more........... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
