Chateau Run 2007
Following on from last year's successful event (discounting the bit where we got stopped by the Gendarmerie) the Chateau Run for 2007 is in the process of being finalised.
The main difference for the 2007 Run is that it will be spread over a weekend, rather than a single day. The relevant dates are Friday 22nd to Sunday 24th June 2007.
This year we intend to travel to Chateau Tilques.
Itinerary:
Friday:
Meet at services (J8 on the M20) at 8:30a.m. Depart at 9:00 to catch the 10:20 am EuroTunnel. Arrive chateau Tilques approximately 12:30 pm - afternoon free to either drive out or just relax and enjoy the surroundings at chateau Tilques with a few glasses (bottles!) of vino. Informal evening meal at chateau Tilques.
Saturday:

Formal dinner at Chateau Tilques - hopefully Black Tie and Posh Frocks.

If you search the Web you will find various deals, but buyer beware! if you book direct with the Chateau, and they make a mistake - it's down to them to put it right.
Tunnel crossing is at £118 (But this price is likely to increase the closer you get to the travel date).
Anyone up for this?
I'd love to go, but I'll be somewhere else in France that weekend.
