ABOUT THE TRIP - in case you haven't been before?
The french trip is a bizarre excursion that we have organised in Dunkerque, since back in the
the early 1990s.
Most of us (including the band) will meet up early on Saturday in Kent - where car parking will be arranged. (If you prefer to come
by train, we'll meet you at Dover station). Leaving the cars there, everyone will hop on the coach and we head for the channel. For the
ferry crossing most of us will be found with Otway, and the band in the bar until we arrive
in France at around 3.00 local time.
There's usually enough time for everyone to check in the hotels and then nip off to do some booze shopping, which is a nice bonus in the run up
to Christmas. Then it's into town in the early evening, where most people seem to want to explore and find a nice bar or restaurant somewhere.
At around 8.30 it's time to meet at the venue for the big Saturday night show, at our venue in the town centre.
On Sunday we'll head for suitable venue to lose the hangovers accompanied by a little
unscripted entertainment which we hope to lay on. This show, for many of us, is the highlight
of the trip. Anything goes and it often ends up very surreal. We'll be heading back to Blighty
for sunday evening.
There will be an Upper Class version of the trip (after Otway nicked the idea from Richard
Branson), and a Standard Class version, according to whether you want a posh hotel in town,
or are happy with a more basic hotel a little away from the town centre.
The Saturday Otway Big Band show, with our traditional French guests is included, as is
travel to our Sunday venue and all travel by ferry and coach during the trip.
Please note we have very limited places the trip - as always, it's first come, first served.
Do e-mail us if you have any questions, or anything is unclear.
With the book, things bode well for a classic trip. I really hope you can make it this year.
I look forward to hopefully seeing you in France!
