Bruno also sent a booking form for a hotel with reduced rates in the town of Aire Sur La Lys where the rally starts and finishes.

See what you think, but I like the idea of a change from Bethune town centre. The hotel looks quite nice, has a restuarant so there would be no need to get taxis or walk back to the hotel after the Saturday evening beers and food for those not in a central Bethune hotel.

Thoughts on the hotel?
It would be great to see a bigger contingent from the SKCC than we had in the September rally and from past experience it will be a brilliant weekend.
The idea is to go out via the Eurotunnel shuttle on Saturday morning, drive on those fantastic French (and maybe even Belgian) roads until we stop for lunch. More driving on incredibly empty and fun roads until a late afternoon arrival at the overnight hotel. The rally takes up all of Sunday and includes a superb lunch stop in typical French style. After the afternoon rallye stint it's back to he town square for the prizegiving and then returning to Calais for the tunnel crossing. The rally itself is a roadbook style event with the navigator reading out the "tulip" diagram instructions with an added element of looking for markers or scenic features which gain extra points for the team. It really is a great weekend and the roads in Northern France are perfect for our type of cars. It will be so much more fun that parking your car in the field at the Detling show which happens to be the same weekend
