Sabra/SabreMeeting. Champagne 2009

Report not ready yet ... but you can watch the pictures.

André, Carine, Tony & I have just spent a wonderful weekend in the Champagne region of France . During our stay we sampled the local food and of course champagne and visited several hotels and restaurants in our search for the best venue for our meeting. We hope that we have put together a package for next year that you will find enjoyable and relaxing. Our chosen hotel is in fact a Hostellerie (upmarket B&B) but I think that you will find it quite special. Parking is available in the private gated courtyard and is totally secure. Journey time from Boulogne / Calais should be less 4 hours depending on whether you choose the auto routes (with tolls) or the B roads.

As usual the weekend will begin on Friday when you are free to arrive at a time to suit you. Our evening meal will be taken in the hotel at about 7:30pm.

On Saturday, visits have been arranged so that the driving will allow you to see the beautiful countryside and impressive vineyards with plenty of opportunities to take photographs. A lunch stop is planned and again our evening meal will be at our hotel.

Sunday will involve a drive to a place of interest plus lunch and then a return to the hotel where you will be free in the afternoon to laze around the pool or to walk or cycle round the pretty gardens. Or if you prefer you can drive to the nearby town of Sezanne and walk around. We will enjoy our evening meal at the hotel.

Our package for 3 nights for 2 people is going to cost about €510 (€390 for a single) and will include:

Friday              Dinner
Saturday           Breakfast
                        Special Dinner + Champagne aperitif
Sunday             Breakfast
                        Dinner

Not included (extras):
Saturday Lunch
Saturday and Sunday visits
Sunday Lunch

The hotel costs are to be paid directly to the Hostellerie. I will need to collect from you the cost of the extras (probably about €40 per person).

We appreciate it is early, but to secure the venue we need to confirm our booking as soon as possible. Therefore would you please confirm your booking directly with the Hostellerie. See their site. Please reference your emails with Jaki Heath and 4^th, 5^th 6^th September 2009. Please also let me know the details of your booking.

Nous attendons les vacances.
