Renault Meet In Wexford, Irl.

1st August 2008 to 3rd August 2008 09:00 AM to 09:30 PM
Hi there,
conversing with baz thismorning between us we hatched a plan of having an r.r social/meet in rosslare harbour, ireland.

so far we're scouting to see if theres interest and how many would be interested in attending.

The proposed location is roughly 35 seconds away from where you would disembark from the boat and is set for the august bank holiday weekend (fri/sat/sun night).

Boats leave from both fishguard (4 hr crossing Car+2 £324) and pembroke (5 hr crossing and shit staff Car+2 Adults £212 Return).

There is a wide variety of accomodation available ranging from camping in my garden (assuming i can rent an industrial strimmer before then) to b&b's to hotels with a few stars im sure. Prices for these range from £24 per person sharing per night (B&B) to £225 Per Person sharing for the three nights (Hotel). I have more detailed info but am too lazy to type it right now but obviously if there is interest I can find out everything considering this village is about two square metres in size and i occupy most of that.

So let us know, stick up a reply and lets see how much interest we get. Obviously the more interest there is the more of a squeeze we can put on people to give us a reduction on everything.

-lar

Available Hotels:
Best Western Hotel Rosslare (£155 P.P.S for 3 nights)
The Harbour View Hotel (£50 P.P.S Per Night)
Great Southern St. Helens Bay Hotel (£228 P.P.S for 3 nights)
The Ferryport Hotel (£104 P.P.S for 3 nights) BEST VALUE
Quality Hotel Wexford (20 Minute drive, unsure of prices but usually reasonable)

Available B&B's
St Martins (£58 Per Night DBL Room)
Oldcourt (£24 P.P.S Per Night)
Clifford View (€ Nobody was home so i couldnt ask)

Camping Also Available

Boats
Stena Line Fishguard To Rosslare 2 People Plus A Renault Of Your Choice £324 (Return)

Irish Ferries Pembroke To Rosslare 2 People Plus A Renault Of Your Choice £212
(Return)

Norfolk Line Ferries - Liverpool To Dublin (then 2 hour drive to wex), not confirmed the prices but i understand they are much cheaper than the other crowds

I understand these prices are insanely high but if we can have a confirmed number by the end of june we can approach one of the companies in order to get a group discount
