Ypres, W.W.1 TRIP 2010
It was proposed at the October 2009 meeting, that our annual pilgrimage to foreign parts would be in 2010 to Ypres and the Menem Gate over a 4 day period, between 9th-13th September.
I
have chosen hotel Regina in Ypres, Belgium which is centred on the main square
amongst other hotels and restaurants, the square is a car park by day.
The hotel requires us to make a provisional booking by the end of January,
everyone that requires accommodation is asked to phone the hotel and give there
credit card details, this will confirm your booking.
