Money
EUR350ish self-catering, addon catering for EUR288 each if we want. We will do the usual thing with double rooms subsidising the communal rooms, differential TBD.
Payment terms are 30% up front (EUR105), with the balance 6 weeks before departure (which would be 13/12/06).
I have an option until Monday. If I can get 14-16 people by Monday I'll confirm it, if not I'll try to extend the option. You will be asked to transfer your deposit on Monday.

Transport
Not included, and in all honesty, not looking all that cheap.
It's round the corner (20 miles) from last year, with Moutiers being the closest real town.
There is a snow train deal to from Waterloo to Moutiers changing in Paris for £109 return (11h50 on the way there, 8h40 on the way back).
Chambery Aix les Bains Airport (CMF) - 65 Miles
Grenoble Airport (GNB) - 83 Miles

[Afty]

Yes, definitely, without a doubt. Going to Paris next week for hols so might not be able to throw deposit around on a moments notice, but my personal guarantee should be enough to ensure someone can cover me should it be required.


So, just to confirm that's me.... SOOOOOOOOO IN.

[Ryvita]

In. that's two days after my birthday. :)

Ryv

[her0n]

Looks awesome but I cannot confirm anything til I speak to uni about when the dates for our january unit exams are :@ It's definitely 22nd - 9th feb ish though :( Just gotta hope they're either side of these dates! ;)

[Groodles]

[10acious]

[Pingman]

no super puzzle bobble fighter whatnot thing?

[Ryvita]

I would definately be up for the snow train again if we can get tickets at this late date.

Ryv

[Mingtea]

In for Drarok.

[Aardvark]

No driving unless we can do it faster than a plane goes
Surely that would be faster than a TRAIN goes?

[Ryvita]

I refer the right honoourable gentleman to the case of Clarkson vs. May & Hammond, 2005. The car is indeed mightier than both the train and the plane, provided it's a Ferrari or an Aston and the driver's metaphores are potent enough.

Ryv

[Bootz]

I'm afraid I can't make this one as much as i would love to come :(

I'm having to budget my holidays next year for other costly expenses/outgoings planned.

I expect plenty of footage and snaps in my absence!!

[Silk75]

Same here, budgets restrict me this year, but have fun, and I demand daily updates.

[Drarok]

In for Drarok.


Plus one, please? :)

[her0n]

14 confirmed.. does that mean this is going ahead now then bvark?

:O

And of course provided it's fixed.

:(
But that's what credit is for! :)
/me waves plastic cards around.

That's what I did last time for ski hire etc. Got 'nuff for deposit etc kicking around right now, which is very rare for me... :o

[sh0ckwave]

at the risk of causing controversy, i would like to put myself forward for consideration as a NB, in case one of the OBs cannot make it :)

[Afty]

Aaaaah DEARest Shockwave... welcome to the list :p

In other news, I fly to Paris tomorrow am, so if someone wants my deposit Instant-Banking across the interweb, I need to know by fairly early this eve.

[Pingman]

As Drarok said, come on oldboy, stick it on the credit card :)

[bvark]

[Lazyboy]

Hi guys put me down :) i'm ready to for deposit etc looking forward to it already! ;)

[Big Giant Head]

Yeah ok, so I'm in

[her0n]

Yeah, so soil stopped me getting to the geog admin office in time before they shut at lunchtime, fukkers. I didn't think i'd be able to make it anyway tbh, you're all gonna have loads of fun and i'm well jealous :( Will be even more gutted if I find that I don't have any exams set for that period :@

Never mind eh, c'est la vie! :hearts:

[her0n]

P.s can I be removed from the skitrip email? tried responding to it but I got an error saying I wasn't allowed to reply to that email! :O

[bvark]

I think I binned you earlier. If you didn't get the one with the piste maps in then you aren't on the distro any more.

There may yet be cancellations - who can say :)

[Drarok]

Ooh, piste maps? I must have missed that one!

[Pingman]

Ooh, piste maps? I must have missed that one!

mmm, me too actually?

[Groodles]

et moi

[Drarok]

It was in one of the very 1st emails, there were a few links at the bottom.

Massive JPG of the piste maps. Excellent.

[her0n]

I found out today when my exam is...

Thurs 25th Jan - 11.15am-1.15pm

FCUK YOU PORTSMOUTH :madgo:

Please put me on the waiting list :(

[bvark]

Two of my friends have booked into a nearby hotel -- I'll ask if there are any more spaces.

[her0n]

Would prefer to be with the "gang".. and I kinda need to work out how i would fund this too (if a space becomes free) :p but thanks anyway.
I'm more frustrated that I waited 2 weeks to find out something they probably could have told me at the time when I asked!

And such is life :(

[Strych]

My exam is 1st February! Boo!

Think of me whilst you are all hurling yourselves through the snow....

[Mingtea]

Nah, I don't want to go breaking my wrist.

[bvark]

It's a scientifically proven fact that only people following me or getting lessons from me break things, ming, so you should be fine.

[bvark]

Just to remind those folks who haven't paid yet that you're two days late and I have someone else who wants your space (in case you haven't been reading your email :-)

[Pingman]

Monies sent :D
