You'll still be working on your scoob the week before we leave.:lol:

fair point.

The pound to euro exchange rate is very good at the moment.:doubleup:

If you have got some spare money, now would be a good time to buy your euros.

Just my opinion, this is worth considering..

Wish it was for dollars :(

Just checked, that is good.... In 2013 I took 900 euros which cost me £780. The same 900 euros now only costs £687 :doubleup:

I assume this hotel takes cards for room payments rather than taking a load of extra cash? Although might make sense to take cash anyway as the exchange rate might not be as good in May.....

Yes they take cards

It might well continue to get better as the euro zone is in turmoil

Bah, i'm £2 worse off if I bought it today rather than yesterday....

All this high finance.. :lol:

Yous are worried about euros I'm more worried about my list of things to do before I head down:rofl::rofl::rofl:

If it's poss to do 1 or 2 nights only twin room, I'm up for it. As have other things on on other days but keep missing your trips down

I've no doubt this possible.

We obviously need to know which nights,

it would be good if you could join us either on the way out or the return journey..:ok:

If it's possible please Ian,
We will travel down on the Friday with you stay and leave late sat night.
One twin bed room only needed for the Friday eve. If we can stay on longer il sort it nearer the time if requires another hotel that's fine but really need to be back for the Sunday.
You got my number if you need any more details etc and where you need me to pay. Cheers

Had a bit of a result today when my brother returned from his skiing trip in Italy with 250 Euro's left over. I offered him some cash at a very favourable rate for myself and he gladly accepted. Think it's the best exchange rate I am going to get! :mrgreen:

I have recently changed my phone and I've lost your number..
Silver Surfer is doing the hotel booking this year so please contact him by PM. :doubleup:

We have room at the inn. We would just need to know the days and rooms required prior to their cut off date policy.

Definitely going on my own is there any chance I can change my room to a single please or if none left just keep me as on the list .

Put me down for one twin room on 22nd please . And who I need to pay please.

INFORMATION REGARDING FINAL CONFIRMATION OF NUMBERS & CANCELLATIONS :

10th April : Cut off Date for Changes/Cancellations. No charge will be applied for cancellations. Additional rooms 'May' be available at request.

10th April - 1st May : Cancellations will be subject to 50% charge for the room.

1st May : Cancellations after 1st May will be required to pay the full room rate.

Didn't end up sorting money so just checked today and its the best rate i've seen so far - 1.3176 euros to the £. Wonder if the euro will fall further or if getting rid of Greece will actually revive some confidence in the currency?

When will be the date to pay the balance in full or do we pay on departure of the hotel .

Full payment will be required sometime between 1st May and our Departure Date.
I will probably set the cut-off for something like 12th May in order to give me time to get it wired out to Eddy.

Whilst there you only then need to pay for Beer (if not using Lidl's) and evening meals.
I expect this year we will only be eating 'on-site' once as we have Pisten Clause booked for 1 night and there's a few other eating houses in the area.

Cheers Scott I would need to pay mine before the 30th April as fly out to Cuba for a 2 weeks holiday and not back until the 16th of May .

Today is looking good.

where is a good place to change money? i always used the post office or just withdrew cash abroad, but as I have turned 40 I seem to be a bit tighter now.

Try thomas Cook Si that's where I usally get mine from .

Tesco was easiest for me, and similar price to Post Office.

I've always used iceplc.com (International Currency Exchange) as I found they offer the best rates. Money is posted to you via insured delivery.

Just don't leave it to the last minute as if it does go missing, you need to wait two weeks before they re-send it (to allow for courier screw-ups). Never had a problem though.

If you're ever seen in London there's loads of places that have much better rates than on the High Street or in banks. I managed to get 1.35 today, which is the highest I've ever seen :)
It's difficult to know if it's going to get any better though!

I personally us a post office credit card as no charges and same rate as changing cash

In 90 days !!!! give or take a few hours we will be on our way!!!!

Any one else interested ???

This year seems to have come round very quickly! Looking forward to it :)

So am I may is a busy month for me car will be ready for it .

Now at 1.3604 euros to the £ on iceplc.com, that's a fair change in only a few weeks. Getting cheaper and cheaper for us!

Well look what arrived today, I ordered these only 3 days ago..:ok:

I ordered these only 3 days ago..:ok:

With a certain amount of uncertainty with regards to lap costs I decided to get things sorted.

2 x 4 lap tickets arrived today 205 euros (including postage) for 8 laps...:doubleup:

Nice one Ian - sorry I wasn't able to pick them up. How much was the p+p?

No problem at all mate.:five:

Postage was 5.90 euro.

Well at least I wont have to queue up to purchase tickets,

I can go straight on happy days :drive: :drive:

This time in 77 days = 11 Weeks, we will be there..!!!.

Still plenty of time left to order laps if I dare put my car on haha .

I was thinking of doing the same Ian, I'm not sure what the new charging system is going to be in the future but I know the prices were frozen at last years rate until April...

I read that they don't have an expiry now, that definitely the case? If so, i'll probably get a 9 lap ticket which works out at 215 euro delivered. Whatever I don't use in May can carry over to next year I assume.

Steve, I was told the ones bought before 30th April will be cheaper but still only last for 2015. Those bought under the new pricing system from 1st May may or may not last longer but it has not been announced officially yet. None of it is particularly clear but unless you are told specifically then assume they only last for this year.
