    RTOC Summer Holiday 09

    Well over the last year we have had a few jollys abroad, many beers & Steaks consumed! The best bit have been the laughs and stories along the way...

    We have often talked about a "group holiday", well now lads time to think abit more and make a group holiday happen.

    Now i have texted alot of the Ring regulars (forgive me if i forgot you) and so far the feedback i have recieved is positive.

    I was thinking about 4-7 nights away in June/July time, all inclusive means free drinks

    Know then the problem is... Where? When exactly..

    Is it worth us getting a Large villia or 2 for us all of us or just go to a hotel complex?

    Idea's people... we need ideas? Anybody been anywhere they liked? Recommend anywhere? Know a Travel Agent?

    Bearing in mind we want to try and do this on a budget etc etc...

    Me & my mates go every year for a few days... £220 for 3 nights and 4 days golfing, full board, so all you gotta pay for are buggies and beer.

    What about a trip to France? Incorporating a trip to Dieppe etc. Find out some good Renault historical facts/buildings and visit them etc...And have a holiday at the same time..

    Done the Monte Carlo trip last year, via Nurburgring, then Stelvio Pass. Awesome, awesome road-trip, but damn, we did clock up some miles! Worth it though, as blatting through the Alpine tunnels, driving to the top & then down the other side of Stelvio, doing a 'lap' of the Monte Carlo grand prix circuit, and then cruising along the French Riviera to Port Grimaud/St Tropez was absolutely top darts.

    Best. Holiday. Ever.

    I have to agree the European tour that a few of us did last year was great, but bloody hard driving, camping etc etc.

    I was thinking flying somewhere hot... somewhere nice where we can all relax and not have to drive etc...

    Well if a music fest is an idea, I will be working at leeds festival behind one of the many bars! :P

    Its over aug bank hol so no need to book time off in work. And there would be plenty of free beers!

    Just an idea.

    I'd be up for the Reading or Leeds festival (i think I would have to try and persuade Steve though!) not sure regarding the holiday front?!
