Brazilian Bay Meet in France 2013

Quiet a few people at the Northern Meet expressed an interest in having an event in France next year and I know from talking to Tim in the summer that he was quite keen on organising something.

I imagine that before long, people will be starting to think about their holidays for next year (or is that only me?) so maybe we should try and gauge interest, possible dates and potential venues.

We're planning on doing 3 weeks in Absinthe on the Continent next year and would ideally attend any Forum meet first then drive further south, ending up in Northern Spain for the long Ferry home. To take 3 weeks, Alison and I both need to know when we're going, well in advance, so we don't disrupt our office too much.

Has anyone got any thoughts? Maybe you could respond if you'd be interested, so that numbers can be estimated and potential dates suggested. I guess it might be possible to get a block booking on a ferry but maybe people would want to take their own routes across. Lots to think about but let's see what interest there is first.

Sounds like a fantastic idea, we'd be up for that depending on dates

Sounds a fab idea.

We'd love to try our first Kombi Kontinental Kaper and what better way to do it than with some good company so count us in - no commitments after the Sleepover at the end of May so plan ahead.

We would be up for the kontinental kombi kaper ,we have no particular months ,but need advance notice to book in office diary

Yep up for this

Many thanks to Absinthe for raising the topic. There are many questions that I'd like to ask members about this potential trip so I'm putting together a poll to capture folks' views. I'll post that up later today.

Please see this new thread for the poll:

I'm going to close this thread so we capture all discussion within the poll thread.
