The date has been set for the European weekend expedition to a small Belgian town!!
Date: 13th/14th/15th March 2009
Plan: Friday - Drive down to Kent stay over in Cheap 'n' cheerful travelodge
Saturday - Early Eurotunnel across to Calais, road convoy to Ninove in Belguim.
- Stay night in hotel, mooch around sample some of the local delights.
Sunday - Get up early, place your bus/bug in the town square for show
- Town FILLS full of Bugs, Busses, Type 3's
- Mooch around show
- Convoy returns to Eurotunnel hub for return journey late afternoon.
We went last year, Lammy & Sal also, it's a really nice chilled (if a little hectic) weekend, Paul from Type 2 Detectives also threw in a surprise visit to the local brewery on the way into town, a nice cold glass of the local tipple awaited us.
Sat afternoon was spent looking around the small town, Saturday night was a meal in a restaurant and drinking in a nice local bar till the wee small hours!!
Sunday - As I mentioned all buses congregate in the town sqaure ready for the show. Bugs, Buses and Type 3's line the streets, the town is closed!!
Its a lovely weekend, a chance to meet people from all over the country that you wouldn't usually meet at other shows when your club camping, and they do wicked Hot Chocolate in this cafe we found!! ;D
If your interested there is one hotel in Ninove that we stay at - we've already booked and would suggest if you do want to go to make the decision now and PM me to get the details. The Hotel fills up pretty quick once that dates are announced and some people slept in the street in their vans last year!!
We did the show last year and had a great weekend, people who want to stay over for a few days can do as its not to far from Ghent, Bruges and Brussels, Lammy and Sal did this last year - we might do that next year.
Cool, thats it ;D
