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...

Ashbury Golf Hotel in Okehampton.
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.

Yeah, i think Golfing holidays are only for people into golf. Its kind of implied. :p:p:p
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..

Poland FTW :)
you will be lonely over there as they all migrated to ealing.
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. :)

whys that then steve..?
mart seemed to like it.
im going to be driving over to milano sometime next year and i wouldnt mind going via stevio pass to milano, and from looking at this info (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stelvio_Pass) im all game for it :cool:
the highest ive ever drove is at rohtang pass (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohtang_pass) but i very much doubt that will be the choice for a club outting :laugh:
no cars, no tents.
somewhere outside the uk where its hot...beach would be nice.. cheap food cheap drinks... went to latvia last year no beach but made up for it in other ways..

At least you're assuming they're going to leave at some point...

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...

Just an idea.

Need to get yourself registered if you're up for it. It's a badical few days away, if you don't mind roughing it a bit :)
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?!
