Tour to Chateau des Ormes - 12th and 13th September 2015
A provisional booking has been made to revisit this fabulous setting for a cricket tour. The ground is within the park of the Chateau itself which forms the backdrop to the weekend. Players and non-players alike are very welcome to join the tour – the more the merrier!
There is accommodation, adjacent to the ground, varying from camping to a three star hotel.
The approximate cost will be as follows – the estimates are based on a stay from Friday 11th to Monday 14th September 2015:
Match fees and Teas for both days - £20 per player
Hotel - about £80 per night for a double room (some rooms can have an extra bed supplied for an addition of £16 per night). Breakfast is extra.
Travel – each tourist will be responsible for their own arrangements. Research shows ferry fares from about £400 return to Brittany for a car and 4 passengers. Cheaper alternatives include Newhaven to Dieppe at £108 return for car and 4 passengers. The nearest airports are Rennes and Dinard.
Golf – The President will be arranging golf (also on site) for interested parties on the Friday afternoon.
If you wish to join the tour I shall require a deposit of £50 for each tourist to be paid by 15th January 2015. The cheque should be made payable to me as Ian Batty (Tour).
Please also let me know what arrangements you require for the hotel booking at the same time, which I shall organise with the hotel direct.
If you are not to stay in the hotel itself, but prefer to camp for example, also let me know though you must arrange that yourself!
The balance (based on the estimates for the match fees and hotel charges set out above) will be payable in full by 15th February 2015.
If you require any further information, do not hesitate to contact me!
Ian Batty – Hon. Sec.
