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.
Please read

There is no free parking at the hotel, chargeable parking is availed in the square directly outside the hotel between the hours of 9.00am--6.00pm a charge of €10 to park all-day, I anticipate that we will not be there during the day therefore we should not incur any parking charges, there is no charge for overnight parking i.e. between the hours of 6.00pm---9.00am.
