South Of France trip
Hi guys,
Not sure if anyone still looks on the forum any more, but a group trip to the South of France is being organised by Glen Mallen, i have put my name down for it. Just wondered if any of you guys ma fancy it. Details below.
Would be worth thinking about doing next year as a group if its not a option this year.
Hi guys,
Although a few of us have discussed this already, can I please have ASAP some (DEFINITE) names of people who would like to go to Southern France this August?
The proposed schedule is:
12th of August/AM of 13th of August (depending on how we travel)
Out to France
13th of August
12 AM: Arrival @ Le Muy (Sport Stadium for Bivouac) Canvas but Bathroom inside the stadium
03 PM: (Around) Departure for the walk - from the DZ's to Valbourges, including night march probably
12 PM: Night at Valbourges
14th of August
Breakfast provided in the vineyards by 44 Memories (coffee, bread)
Depature either Trans en Provence, La Motte (has to be confirmed)
12 AM Lunch
04 PM Arrival @ Le Muy meeting the paratroopers (Rborn team, C47 jump)
06 PM Arrival on the main place: Aperitif, dinner and dance

10 AM Parade in Draguignan
12 AM Parade in Le Muy with lunch
Lunch in Trans en Provence
05 PM Draguignan Party
17th Of August
Return to UK
I have no costs for this event - the camping is 10 euros or something, everything else is purely travel costs (either by flying or by (car?)train - driving all the way down isn't really a senseible option, but it could be done if no other option).
You will need to be in 517th or 551st guise for this event (or 550th GIR) - for which you'll need an unreinforced M42 jumpsuit (which will be spray painted), along with equipment (also sprayed). You can get away with Buckle Boots and lots of other "weirdness", but we can discuss uniform regs at a later date.
Please let me know ASAP if you've definite for this commemorative trip so I can let the French organisers know.
Cheers,
Glen.

Hi Sam,
Good to see that you still check th page put... Been ages sense anything has happened thought people may have forgoten about it lol.

Hows tricks with you mates? done many events, did the great central railway event a couple of weekends back kitted on spreyed gear and 42s. Got some nice feed back, and some funny looks.
