Due to various reasons three places on our trip to Ypres for July 15/16 have become available. We depart Charlton at 5.15am and Ebbsfleet International at 5.45am on the morning of the 15th and return to Ebbsfleet at approx 6.30pm on Sunday 16th. We have a packed and interesting itinerary, led by our expert guide Clive, including the Menin Gate ceremony on the evening of the 15th where three of our party will be laying a wreath on our behalf.

Currently those who have dropped out have yet to cancel their accommodation bookings and so a double room in a hotel and a single room in a B & B are available if interested.

The cost of the trip is £60.00 which would be payable immediately.

If you are interested or have any further questions please message me. These places are available on a first come first served basis so don't delay.

Many thanks

  • I'm not going to be able to go either so there will be two other places available.

    I think I have a two person room booked as well - and I haven't cancelled that either.

    KHA, I'm really sorry to hear that. Unfortunately unless I can find replacements for your places then I won't be able to refund any of the amounts paid as we are running at cost basis, have paid the Eurotunnel fee and coach company hire charge and donated the excess and donations to the charities.

    As said, if I can find replacements then I will refund you. It's up to you whether you want to cancel your accommodation now or wait and see if anyone who may take up your places may want the room.

    Hi Large is this for two together or could it be for one. If I can sort a babysitter my wife might go

    Yes, one more will be fine. I'm assuming you already have a room booked but if it's a single the guy who has dropped out has a double/twin booked if you would be interested, if not he will cancel it.

    Please get back to me asap if you want to take one of the places.

    Hi Large I checked my reservation and its already a double room. I am trying to get mother in law down to look after my kids. Can you hold that one ticket until lunchtime?

    Belatedly, want to wish a great weekend to all those travelling to Belgium today.

    I'm certain it will be a very special experience, albeit a humbling one, in the company of fellow Addicks and led by the VERY special Clive.

    Enjoy, All, & stay safe.

    I've not heard from Mr Tatters. Is he pissed? (He's called Nick and looks like Father Jack).

    Ypres lifers now on shuttle heading back to Blighty.

    Fantastic trip. I really would have hated to miss this.

    More to follow no doubt.

    been a tiring but very enjoyable weekend. Some very moving experiences but uplifting too. A great bunch of Addicks and Belgium itself is pleasant. Shame Roland gives it a bad name. Nice beer too .
