The flight has been booked with
easyJet http://www.easyjet.com. It is a ticketless airline and so is all
we need to check in at the airport is our confirmation
numbers. easyJet reserves the right to demand proof of
identification so bring passport even though you probably
won’t need it. Maximum baggage weight is 25kg per
passenger. OUTWARD

N.B. the outward flight
leaves at 07.35 in the morning on the Friday. If anyone
would like to stay at my house on the Thursday they are
welcome. I suggest that we either get a lift (Simon will
probably be able to take 4 of us) or catch a Thameslink
train to Luton Airport Parkway (London Bridge dep. 06.16
arr. 07.04 or dep. 5.34 arr. 6.31 or from Mill Hill
Broadway – 5 mins from me dep. 06.28 arr. 6.53).

| Minibus Hire: 
|
I have booked a self drive
minibus from L.C.H. http://www.lchcarhire.co.uk, (Commerce St Glasgow G2 8AD Tel: 0141
553 0858) which we will collect from Glasgow airport.
Driver (Mum) needs to report to the Information Desk on
the first floor. This way we can drive to Stranraer
(around about 80 miles) stopping off en-route if desired. |
| Hotel: 
|
We will be staying at the North
West Castle Hotel in Stranraer (http://www.mcmillanhotels.com/html/northwc.html) for the nights of 7th and 8th
April. This is a four star hotel with the following
facilities: indoor curling rink, heated swimming pool
with spa bath, saunas, sunbeds and multi-gym. The large
games room offers short carpet bowling, snooker, pool and
table tennis. I have booked 5 twin rooms, all en-suite.
Our booking includes Dinner, Bed and Breakfast. |
| Costs: |
I will be arranging the flights,
minibus hire and hotel deposit. You will need to pay for
your hotel bill (probably on departure at £86.00 2
nights DBB), travel to and from Luton airport and any
optional extra’s that we might do (although I think
that the hotel and sightseeing should entertain us
enough). |
| Dress: |
You should be able to work out
what is appropriate but don’t forget swimwear/gym
wear for use of the hotel facilities and something fairly
dressy for evening meals. If you like walking, I think
that the grounds are extensive so bring appropriate
footwear. Bear in mind weight restriction of luggage on
flight and available space for luggage on minibus (may
not be much!!) |
