Super Rally 2007 Bussloo

[Frog]

Can I be a pest and ask that those going meet at Winchester services on the M3 instead of Rownhams on the M27?

Also I have e-mailed both P&O ferries and motorsport-travel.com about tickets as I could find no information on the open ticket.

Neither company supports an open ticket for travel; you have to book a specific date and time that you wish to travel.

P&O said
"I can confirm that you must travel on your booked outward and return ticket. Failure to do so will result in a request for additional payment. You will incur a 10.00 amendment fee plus any additional payment as a result of those changes. This amount payable will equal the difference between the original ticket price paid and the price for the new sailing on the day of travel. However it is possible to arrive at the port and purchase your tickets there, subject to space and availability
The only flexible ticket that does not incur any charges when amended is the Season ticket. However a minimum of five tickets must be purchased for your annual travel however, any number of these can be transferred to friends or family. These tickets entitle you to a low set rate for all of your travel and no amendment fees are applied. Should you wish to discuss this or any other aspect of your future travel in more detail I would be grateful if you would telephone our Contact Centre on 08705 202020"

"Unfortunately, we do not support open tickets. All bookings must be made for a specific date and time".

It is 142 miles from Winchester services to the Dover Ferry given our propensity for wayward travel and to allow for mishaps, what time ferry is suggested?

Frog check your return time from Hoek. My e ticket says: Ship Stena Hollandica Mon 28th May 14.45 hrs depart arrive 20.15 hrs.

Plus booked back in October it was £108 return going out with single cabin with window Wed night return as above.

They must have pushed their prices up when they realised the rally was on.

This calls for a discussion,
I suggest we meet up the pub this friday 19th for those wishing to go to sort out dates and times.
Well done Frog we needed someone to take the helm
Can you make the pub? there are several wishing to go

Ron & Bully started the ball rolling with a suggested start of 0500 at Rownhams services Eastbound. I asked for Winchester services to prevent having to go the wrong way to start.

I have PM'd Bully regarding the open ticket issue, but have not had a reply as yet.

Bully - read your mail

Not busy Friday night at the moment, so should be able to make it down.

Good chance Dad & Myself will be at the Pub Bully
