MLU / CMP meeting, Normandy, June 2009

[Alex van de Wetering]

However, as I suspect traffic will be severely curtailed, or at least heavily controlled, on 6 June, the 5th is not an ideal option.

I agree, that was the only downside I could think of.


Regarding your proposal; 3 June would work for me.

... June 3rd fine with me as well.

I'm staying in Trèvieres with my brother...

PS Will the Dutch have a DUKW swimming ceremony again, like they did in 2004?

Personally I would prefer 5 June to watch the fireworks but if we are going into someone elses camp and not a public place we have to make our arrangements around them.

Any night except 6 June (we have a ball at a chateau) should be good for the ANZAC group. I haven't talked to them but 4 or 5 members are also MLUers so we can add maybe another half dozen vehicles to the bunch.

Presume the cooks are allowed to come and it is not just a boys-only get together?

Any recommendations? I am flying in to either UK or France on 3 June. I have no plans and two weeks of leave.

As I will be coming in from Haiti I will not have a vehicle or reenactment uniform but don't want to get sidelined with the unwashed masses.I will not have any camping gear and don't know the geography well enough to book a room anywhere.

Guidance required!!

Hanno,
Not sure of the events planned by the MVT yet, but I'll say a definate YES to meeting on the 3rd of june. Don't know how many CMP's are coming over with the MVT, but I will certainly put the word around at Etreham !

Here is some guidance,Plan ahead

Really mate ,leaving it to now is not a wise move, Get on the internet and get cracking, Don't like your chances as 99% of things were booked out months ago, but good luck.

Bruce..
Knowing a little of our own Servicepub,I am sure,while preferring ties and tails..he has been know to slither out from under a rock on occasion..and is very adaptive at being his own batman..and can dig a mean trench ..if need be...
I'm also sure ,while jumping into the fray..his Gracies and Barn training will be put to full use and he will be a survivor..once again..with many storys to pass on to the crowd back home at the Barn and Gracies..
A little recce guidance would be of the greatest assistance..and most appreciated..
