Please book me in for 1. My great grandfather served with the east surreys and died in the attack on cherisy 3 may 1917 his name is at arras memorial so this is of great interest to me.

Unfortunately I can't make this - really enjoyed the Ypres trip and anyone considering this should go for it.

I have booked into the Holiday Inn, as has the coach driver, and I know a number of others have too.

I presume there will be no plans to get a second coach if there was demand?

Large - just firming up but I have 8 at the moment. Can we get a bigger coach!

Is it far from St Truiden?

I've booked two rooms at the Stayen just in case - can always cancel later.

SX_Addick

4 of us booked in at Holiday Inn.

Ashers

I'm in Holiday Inn too.

MadGerman

Michael and I are in as well. As last year we arrive from Germany and are going to meet you on Saturday morning/noon at the first place of the itinerary. We've booked a room at the Ibis Centre not to far from the Mercure and Holiday Inn.
Really looking forward to see you there.

Ypres trip was really well done. Definitely up for this.

When I booked the holiday inn yesterday morning it said there were only 3 rooms left.
I assume I’ve booked into the wrong one now, still I’ll enjoy the peace and quiet...

think there is only one, if it's in Rue Dr Brassart or somesuch name then you are in the right one

PeterGage

Also booked into Holiday Inn Express, although I initially assumed it was in Belgium, not France !

RedArmySE7

Definitely interested, need to check the dates with the Boss.

Another one in the Holiday Inn - there were 6 twins available when I booked this morning. My guess is that these booking companies take the option on just a few rooms at a time, and top up as they get booked.
