912 'Champagne' Spring Run to Reims
Top up your oil, check your tyre pressures and head with us to the continent for the 912 Run to France this Easter. As some of you will already have read on the Forum and on the web site, Gavin and I have planned another 912 extravaganza for your flat-4 adventures that follows on from the success of the Donington and Ypres spring events of the past few years. The formula is the same - maximum fun, minimum expense and lots of cunning treasure hunt clues to test your driving and navigational skills on some great driving roads. And have we got a treat in store for you in 2004! Here's the deal:
Saturday 20th March, meet at Dover for the channel crossing to Calais. On the ferry we'll give you your 'clues' and road map for the treasure hunt. Plan your route carefully! We'll drive in convoy to St. Omer where we can get brunch, and then you're left to your own driving / navigational skills. Remember - the 912 you're following is probably lost and going the wrong way!
Overnight we're booked in at the old medieval town of Laon that perches high up overlooking the surrounding landscape. There's no time limit, the distance is about 200kms, drive at your own pace and solve as many of the clues as possible. We'll be waiting for you with prizes for novely, style and (just maybe) the team with the most clues. Then off to town (on foot!) for dinner. Check out http://www.ville-laon.fr to discover more about the town ( no surprises, it's in French!).
Sunday and you're free to explore, so you can head for Reims and the heart of Champagne country another 30km or so to the south. For those in the know, Reims hosted the original French Grand Prix in the 1930s, 50s and 60s, we're told that the grandstands and pits are still there today, fading away. Otherwise, enjoy the city, its history and culture. Just be back in Calais early evening for the return ferry - you can take the auto-route (13 Euro toll) if you want to zip along. And don't forget just how flexible a 912 load space is for any shopping.
The total cost is based on two people sharing and is £85 each. This includes your ferry and your hotel accommodation in Laon.
Cheques should be made payable to Porsche Club Great Britain and sent to me (Stuart) at the following address ASAP. Clearly state your name/s address and telephone number and please state whether you will require a twin or double room at the hotel.

It's up to you to check your insurance cover for driving overseas and to you're your own arrangements for breakdown cover if you want to take it because we cannot be responsible for breakdowns (not that a 912 will break down though, surely not!?!).
See you there, Stuart.

IMPORTANT
I now have the Booking form ready, if you could email me your addresses I will send them out.
We need to get the money off asap so if you could return the Form and Cheques to Stuart by the 30.01.04.
I will send you an sae as well!
I have also been told about the 'secret' entrance to the Old Reims circuit, which will be a great place for some photos on Sunday?
Should be a good one!
Cheers
