General Discussion / Ferrari spider- aka Peter Catchpole

« on: April 10, 2014, 05:55:31 pm »

Dear all .

I'm very sorry to tell you all in this way, but last week, Wednesday 2nd April, Peter passed away from his long term cancer.

His funeral is on April. 23rd near to Christchurch, Dorset.

It will be a double funeral as his father passed away 3 days later!

I've spoken with diedre, whose asked me to let you all know. Anyone who wishes to attend is welcome, but she needs to know numbers for the catering afterwards.

The dress will be bright clothing.

All the best Robbo.

General Discussion / Re: Brittany ferry opens bookings for June 2011

« on: October 07, 2010, 02:34:43 pm »

The Norman arrow finishes summer service now, and due on the le havre crossing from April i was told. ( went to the port on a job )
It DOES take big stuff, but they charge more for using the fast boat.

Be VERY careful with LD lines. They are starting to upset people. Miss a sailing, and thats it, no moveing the booking etc. I was told by a manager " its in our terms and conditions"  . The poor man i was trying to help limped off back home as he couldnt afford to buy another trip !!

Shame really.

As for Poole Cherbourg - We found it much cheaper than Portsmouth, by nearly £200 per car a few years back . .

But...

Portsmouth's new ferry termianal should be open by next June . . bigger bar, more parking . . .
