DavieB Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Guys, The original posting is getting a bit confusing, I have went through all the old posts and come up with this as the plan at present in terms of travel and accomodation: CAR 1: Ramsay plus Davie, Kenny & Richard 1 x Triple room has been booked via myself. Car 2: Paul plus Tom, James and Darryl 2 x Triple rooms booked via Darryl Car 3: Charlie plus Billy, Martin and Al 2 x Twin rooms booked via Billy So in total 12 have confirmed for transport and we have 13 rooms booked. Is this right? Apologies if I have missed anyone. Can all now confirm if space on the ferries have been booked for all, and if anybody is now owed money shout up. Cheers, Davie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breakfast is extra as well. I do not have to pay until we get there, so I'm not out of pocket Paul. Send me your details and I'll get the money to you pronto! Let's just hope we can actually get out on the bike before the event DG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted December 6, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks for the summary Davie. It was getting slightly confusing! Following a snowchain clad wife rescue in deepest Renfrewshire I have now booked Car 1 on to the ferry, for Muirhead, Christie, Borland and Montague. Same details as Martin posted and same price - £300. (Not sure how/why Paul got charged the extra £13!?!) We will need to take our own food on, or buy it on board. Off to complete the entry form now. Think I have everyone's details, including all the Sunday names (William, Kenneth, David, Charles, Thomas, Alasdair etc..) Will let you know when we are entered.

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted December 6, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Form now filled in. I need to send a couple of PMs to check some details, so will send off once I get the replies. Cheers R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Richard Posted December 6, 2010 Members Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks, Ramsay. PM me your bank details and I'll square up with you. Am I right in thinking that there's a bed for me somewhere in all the accommodation bookings that have been made? If so, who do I owe (or who will I owe in the future?)

DavieB Posted December 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 Richard, If you spent less time fitting mudguards and more time reading the threads you will have noticed that accomodation for 13 has already been booked. So unless somebody out of the 12 confirmed as going wants to take up 2 beds (perhaps one for the bike) you should be OK There is no upfront charge for the accomodation so no monies owing at present, from recollection it is about 70 odd euro each.

2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted December 7, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 7, 2010 It's official. The Johnstone Wheelers entry for the 2011 Tour of Flanders (260km sportive) has been sent. Because it is an overseas account and in Euros, I will get the bank to transfer the money tomorrow. I will then use the bank's exchange rate to work out how much everyone owes me (that means I don't make or lose money on the exchange rate). I'll PM you all to let you know my details and how much, including ferry money as appropriate. I guess all we need to do now is get fit and get there on time! Can't wait for my beer and chips at the end!!

Davie, I knew about the accommodation for 13 and delayed payment but needed confirmation cos it all seemed a bit *too* easy - everything has been taken care of and I've not lifted a finger. Thanks to all the researchers and organisers and booker-uppers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2023 Subscriptions Ramsay Posted December 8, 2010 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 All paid up and I had confirmation this morning that the entry was received. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2024 Subscriptions Darryl Gunson Posted December 8, 2010 2024 Subscriptions Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Well done Ramsay! I wonder if we have got enough accomodation. We agreed to book this by car- 4 beds per car. Martin and co are ok. But your car seems one short. I was only able to book 2 triple rooms, but apparently one of them is for single use only. If the hotel insisted we stick to this, then Richard would not have a bed! Having said that, I think it will be ok, but I thought I'd mention it.

Members Richard Posted December 8, 2010 Members Report Share Posted December 8, 2010 Ah-ha! I knew that was too easy. Darryl, could you do me a favour, please - email the hotel and ask if another person can be accommodated in the second triple room. If they say no, I'll book my own room ASAP. It's just going to cause problems if I end up staying in a different hotel. This is where everyone is staying, yes? http://www.eurobookings.com/brugge-hote ... 4Qod2Ryblg Ta, R.

All about riding the Tour of Flanders Sportive last year. Apparently it's "not for the faint hearted", and that is the 150km route they are talking about!!! Hey ho! Training starts this weekend!

2023 Subscriptions charlie p Posted January 12, 2011 2023 Subscriptions Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 Fellow Flanderians As some of you know every year( bar last year)for the last 9 years I have done an extreme sport for The Beanfeast Charity for Children. To date we have raised over £500000 for various Childrens Charities in Scotland South America And Africa. This year I am fundraising for Kersland School in Paisley & I have decided after having perused all your posts that The Tour of Flanders qualifies as an extreme event. I will be setting up a justgiving site for sponsorship but I thought It would be a good idea to make it a Johnstone Wheelers site riding in aid of Kersland school. All you would have to do is direct your mates colleagues etc to the site to support you. I would need to get a group photo of us all I appreciate it is alot to ask but if you like the idea could you let me know so I can set up the site. If you want more info google search Beanfeast Charity for Children or give me a call. ps Colin Howard has already thrown down the challenge.
