Don Cook Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 I should be coming to this. Great event for beginners, not too difficult and the Ardenne is a bit like mini-Alps. I always get lost but a beer at the end is always worth it. A sensible car is good to take as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Cook Posted August 22, 2018 Author Share Posted August 22, 2018 Roger/Theo Was it Slenaken where the Hotel bar stays open until silly o'clock and do you know the hotel's name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beans Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Start and finish will be at Rolduc. More details including the entry form will follow soon. Otherwise give Roger a pm with your e-mail details before the end of the week. The invitation e-mails with all details will go out by the end of this week to all known e-mail addresses. Would be great to see a number of UK entrants again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTRoger Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Thank you Don for opening this thread. It's about time to bring the official announcement, so here we go! This is our 30th (jubilee) edition of our famous Dutch/Belgium nightrally. If you like some proper driving on our narrow, twisty and dark roads in the Netherlands and Belgium, this is your event! The total distance will be around 250km and we navigate by the tulip system. The event will be dedicated to René Claessens who sadly passed away last year. He has been responsible for many previous editions of this event. Would be great to see many CT entrants as a tribute to René. If you are interested in this event, please PM with your email address and you will be added to the entrylist. Start and finish will not be in Slenaken this year, we found another humble location, called Rolduc. So no worries if the bar stays open late I guess!! Lets start a CT entry list, hope we get many from the UK. #1 Don Cook & Sarah Cook - GT6 mk3 #2 Michael Charlton & ?? - Spitfire mk3 "the blue lagoon" #3 ?????? #4 ?????? #5 ??????

sparky_spit Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I've done two of these and really would like to do it again this year. However, things are working against me at the moment on three fronts and it's looking less likely. What is the last date that I could enter, Theo, without upsetting the organisation?

Beans Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 A week before the event, also depending on number of entries ... And of course no guarantees on room availability @ Rolduc than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky_spit Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Okay thanks Theo. As it turns out, I'm not now going to be able to enter anyway, which is a shame. Next year maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Cook Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Well, that's me all booked, entry off and hotels booked (Aachen the night before so we can have a stein or two). Having trouble paying for the entry, my bank won't allow the transfer with the info given, they also wanted £10 handling fee! Ardennes in autumn is always fun!

Beans Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Hi Don, it surprises me that your bank doesn't support the Iban number (the one starting with NL60ING****). If still not able to transfer the money just sent in the entry form to the email address given in the form, and mention your specific problems with the payment in your mail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
