Advanced notice - this should be in the next magazine too, but I'm trying to gauge interest in next years QOC Tour. As it's the club's 21st birthday at Newark next year, we thought that it would be good to pop down to Rheims in northern France and pick up some champagne to celebrate this event. The planned event (with distances) is as follows, although this can be changed if it doesn't appeal: Saturday 11 June. All meet in Hythe; distance depends if you live in Folkestone or Glasgow :-) Sunday 12 June. Catch the Eurotunnel at about 10am for a 30 mins crossing, then head down to Rouen area (hopefully including the coast road to Etretat). Approx distance 140 miles Monday 13 June. Tour in the Rouen area, to include the Pegasus bridge museum, one of the Normandy beaches and a crossing of the Pont du Normandy. Distance will depend upon what we plan to do. Overnight in the Rouen area. Tuesday 14 June Rouen to Amiens - directly this is less than 80 miles, but we could head down to Giverny for a bit of culture (Monet's garden), making the trip about 170 miles. Wednesday 15 June. Amiens to Rhiems via the underground city at Naours. Approx distance 120 miles Thursday 16 June. Rhiems area - visit to the old GP circuit at Gueux, tour of a champagne house in Epernay & collect some birthday champagne. Overnight in Rheims Friday 17th June: Rhiems to somewhere near Calais, maybe via Laon (location of an annual historic hillclimb); approx distance 170 miles. Saturday 18th June: Back via the tunnel to Folkestone, then (for those who want) up to Newark for the 21st birthday celebrations. Folkestone to Newark is just under 200 miles via the delights of the M20 & M25. I've come up with an estimated maximum cost of £700 per person for this. This includes bed and breakfast in Hythe, dinner bed and breakfast in the hotels in France (staying in Logis de France) plus the tunnel crossing in both directions. Costs on top of this would be tolls on the autoroutes, lunches and drinks with dinner. We're not looking for deposits yet, but do need an idea of numbers so that I can get a more accurate costs together, so please let me know by Sunday 12th December if you would like to go and I can get some prices over Christmas.
