Unconfirmed dates for this event are September 10th to 18th, which is interesting as that runs from Monday through to the following Tuesday. At the moment our booking with Hotel de la Plage is pretty open, but I know they would like me to confirm dates as soon as possible.

Gareth - If you are willing to be bookings co-ordinator would you please let us know the dates you are thinking of booking for and put us down for a double room. Many thanks.

We've currently got 5 rooms reserved - 2 doubles and 3 singles. Takers at the moment are you and Baz; Malcolm and Debbie; Bill; Gerty; me.
We would normally go Wednesday to Monday, but may want to reconsider that if the festival is not ending on the Sunday. I'm open to suggestions. No great rush to confirm dates, though the hotel were asking when I added the additional room.

Gareth,
I can confirm Debbie and I for Dieppe, as provisionally agreed.
Obviously we shall have to book leave as soon as we have the agreed dates.

Received the following from the Dieppe organising committee Hello everybody, The festival team wishes you all a Merry Christmas and informs you that the dates and the theme of the "International Dieppe Kite Festival - 2012", are now official. www.dieppe-cerf-volant.org/dccv/voeux/voeuxnoel2011.html The festival will take place from 8th to 16th September 2012. The general theme: "The five elements: Treasures of Humanity" The theme of the Artistic Kite Contest: The 5 Elements: Air, Space, Earth, Water and Fire. Looking forward to see you again in Dieppe for new adventures. Sincerely, The team of "Dieppe Capital of Kite" So I'd suggest we consider arriving on the Wednesday (12th) and returning on the Monday (17th), which makes a 5 night trip. Thoughts please from my travelling companions (or anyone else for that matter) Here's another thought, I believe that the festival is part sponsored by LD lines who run the ferry from Newhaven into Dieppe. Now its a 4 hour crossing, but I believe it is usually free to registered participants. It may be worth considering? |

Sounds good to me Gareth!
Also, though I hate ferries, they could be worth looking into???

Gareth,
Thanks for the update, will now be able to book the time off from work, before any-one else plans their getaways.
Please update about LD lines as and when you know
