Belgium 2012 - MOB Weekend 22-23 September
With September not that long away we (Gary T & me) thought we get a some interest going for the Belgium Weekend. The date this year is 22-23 September, NOT the date on the calendar. This has been a really great weekend trip to do in the last few years and for those of you that haven't been before the main event is on Sunday when Belgium's finest Monsters gather for their annual meeting, with bikes attending from all over Europe. Saturday night's dinner usually has a 'theme', but we'll let you know when we've worked that one out (gawd).
Most of us go over on Saturday in various groups but everyone is free to do want they want interms of site seeing and general riding about etc. The hotel in Buggenhout is really superb and hopefully we should have the place to ourselves (depending on final numbers). Joris, who owns the hotel is a fantastic host and I think everyone who's stayed there has enjoyed themselves, especially the 'Magic Fridges'. http://www.boskapelhoeve.be/ Interms of cost and room availability I'm waiting for Joris to get back to me, but as I'm away next week, I thought I'd get the ball rolling. A few of you at Arrow Mill have already expressed an interest in going, but if you fancy making the trip please add your name the list and copy it into the next post. As with other years, people will have to work out sharing arrangements depending on what rooms are available. I seem to remember last year there were 29 beds available, but that might be different this year. Albie ( no caroline ) 2 nights GT Shuffy 1 night Char Uksurfer Capo Rollo Jo Heather Scrapps Rally Altaian Liz probs 1 night Stafford probs 1 night Bex is possible yes right now Big Oz Zak Slob Thuli Samieb Louscanon So over to you!

Had an email back from Joris tonight. Would you beleive they've only just finished laying the road past the hotel that was dug up last September. They have been without water, gas, electricity on and off for weeks by the sound of it
Joris has set aside the whole hotel for UKMOC.. assuming we fill it again. Prices are 100 euros per person for the cheaper rooms, rising to 150 euros for the delux rooms. We need to see people ferry/tunnel crossing ASAP, and your place won't be reserved until we have that cofirmed. Just sticking your name down here isn't enough to secure a place. I'll start a "I've booked my MOB 2012 crossing" thread next week I think hotel has space for 29 so the numbers interested so far looks promising

Had another email from Joris tonight
He is going to hold the rooms for UKMOC until the end of June, after that any spares will be allocated to others.. possibly Belgium, Dutch or German MOB weekenders. We will give him a list of those that have booked crossing, and hence confirmed attendance on 30th June. After that you'll have no promise of a room at Boskapelhoeve. So to recap.. YOU NEED TO BOOK YOUR CROSSING AND CONFIRM ON FORUM BY THE LAST WEEK IN JULY!

I'm trying the overnight ferry from Portsmouth - le havre to WDW, depending on how successful that is will depend on whether I go that route in September, so I will be booking my ferry or train on return from Italy, maybe a bit more time to book for those going to Italy would be nice, as I'm planning this trip now
Cheers Martin

It's a good crossing Mart and you can sleep on the benches in the bar in relative comfort. I was also thinking of that trip myself on the Friday night.
