Hopefuelly, we won't be affected by the fuel blockades which should be over by the time we get to france... also, could someone with a better grasp of geography than me please check that we're not likely to clash with any Euro 2016 matches?

We don't make France until 30 June, so that should give them time to sort it all out.

Quarter-final 3 is on Saturday July 2nd at Bordeaux, which is 50 miles from us. We'll be at Cap Ferret (arriving on Friday 1st). That looks to be it.

Looks like 33% nationally are dry of fuel and 40% of stations around Paris are closed. Fingers crossé for you, Justin.

My money would be on it being all over by the time we get there although they are a militant bunch.

With regard the football, whilst I don't want to be in any of the cities that are hosting games, i will watch in a bar. Whilst I am not a massive football fan, I do enjoy the big events.

I hope you won't be wearing your England shirts, Bruce & Steve!

Thanks for your comments, I agree completely.
I hope some of you can speak French because most of this rassists can't speak English.  :H:

Oh yes!!  And the weather is set to be good.

Are we meeting at the port?
Are we in team clothing?

Most are staying local to the port.

I'll be driving down from London early on Saturday morning.

Julian is going on the Friday night ferry and meeting us at hotel 1.

Team clothing optional. Matching cars mandatory...except for Paddy in his Beemer.

So what time are we all aiming to be at the port?  I normally meet in the pub by the gate, but that would be a problem at 7am!

We should check-in about 7.45, an hour before departure, so meet up at 7.30 at the terminal?

Is the Beemer there as luggage donkey?  :)

Rob?

PS. Is it worth coordinating body panel colours? Nothing worse than turning up to find another car in the same colour. Matching Atoms are so last year, darling.
