Come on chaps. Organise a convoy to this one. Its only about an hour and a half's drive from Calais/Dunquerque.

A ferry crossing is not expensive. About £50 and that could be split a couple or 3 ways or even 4.
A room 15mins from the event is about 40 Euro's per night. Again it is possible to share that cost as well.

A nice bunch of chaps to play against and probably new blood you won't have played before.

A chance to practice before you all jet off to the USA.

I'm planning on travelling down, haven't finalised my plans yet and happy for a couple of passengers or co-ordinate with another car load going.

Drop a note to me if your interested.

cheers
Jim

I would'nt mind a trip to play, and the sharing travel costs sounds good as well. So if your up for it still count me in.

No worries are you doing 15mm if you are I'll look for you Saturday morning before the start and arrange to meet over the day or evening to get it sorted.

No probs. Yes I'm playing 15mm but not FoG. I tend to play DBMM in UK and FoG in Europe.

See you then.

Hi Gilles,

Still trying to decide what army. I might have to learn some new tactics as I cannot use the HYW English.

I was tempted to choose an army from Decline and Fall but I may join you in the classical period.

Hopefully some others will travel too.

cheers
Jim

You will meet a large part of the french (and Belgian) FOG tournaments players. They speak (bad) english if needed

Lionel

My email : lionel.colin62@orange.fr

What I need urgently is to know in which tournament you would like to play (Antiquity or Dark Ages ?).

Regards
Lionel

Lionel,

There will be 3 of us and include us all for dinner on the Saturday. I will let you know my preferred period on Monday, however if it makes it easier I am happy to play either if it helps both pools to an even number.
