32nd Micr'Eau d'Heure

[Phil De Troy]

The notice of Race of the 32nd Micr'Eau d'Heure is published. See http://meh.microclass.be.

The regatta will take place on the "Lac de la Plate Taille" 30 kilometre South of Charleroi.
This is the last event of the "Euro-Micro" and the last opportunity to validate your score for the European ranking il you sailed only in your own country, or improve your present score http://www.microclass.org/results/EM10.html

There is free camping on site and several accommodation opportunities in appartments and small houses on the other side of the lake.

"ИГРУШЕЧКА" будет участвовать.
Мы уже жильё забронировали. http://www.landal.fr/be-fr/domaines/...ge-leau-dheure
По специальному предложению цена на неделю получается даже меньше, чем на три дня пт-сб-вс, четырёхместное бунгало BL4 (с сауной, джакузи и т.д.) вышло всего 20,5€ со всеми накрутками с чел.в день. Едем на неделю. Сгоняем в Брюссель, Амстердам, ещё куда нибудь.
Вообще очень хорошо там по всем параметрам, рекомендую. И лодок традиционно достаточно много собирается.

Во как! Насколько я понял с автоперевода, их кто-то, рано приехавший в том году так напряг (хотя напряг - понятие относительное), что в этом году, до субботы там вообще ни кого не пустят на территорию яхт-клуба Ну хорошо хоть у Ландаловой деревни есть большая парковка,где яхту можно оставить до субботы.

Spartak is already waiting on a safe parking close to my boat. If you are arriving very early in order to visit Western Europe, I can find you a place here.
Open at 09:00 on Saturday, just 45 minutes from the club. I think you could also find other accommodation at a distance from the lake, cheaper...

[Phil De Troy]

I visited the club yesterday and found a British Flying Fifteen onn the parking, while the Belgian Open Championship is scheduled October 9th-10th...
So I asked the club management why there was such a discrimination.
They recognised the prescription given was over-reaction to some abuse of club hospitality in the past.
We agreed that:

• All boats and trailers are admitted in the enclosed parking from the previous week-end, provided they are not conflicting with the organisation of the Flying Fifteen regatta
• The parking is enclosed for cars, but there is no access restriction for persons, so we cannot consider the parking as secured and the club accepts no liability for theft of material on the boats
• There is a secure boat parking in Seneffe (50 km from Plate Taille) for boats on trailers, if you want to spend some days travelling in the region (opening times Monday to Saturday 08:00-18:00, just apply to me by e-mail or phone +32 477 47 12 16) charges should be limited (30 EUR / month, I will ask for 10 EUR /week)
• Trailers shall be parked on the places assigned by the club representatives
• Cars should not be parked on the enclosed boat parking
• The main way from outside barrier to the slipway shall remain free at any time
• Boats may be launched on Friday 15th but may not stay at the pontoons, especially on the inner side
• Training is submitted to individual permission, may be submitted to standard charges (15 € per boat per day)
• The club cannot provide a safety boat during individual trainings
• The club may no longer accommodate persons in sailing school and other rooms.

On the other hand, they are open to the future organisation of Class trainings, we (MCBelgium) should find a trainer and boat, the group could have access at reduced charges.

Just think of it for the future, especially for Russian boats with no access to the water for several months in the winter, you may park the boat, have limited professional service, and we could have a training one week before the first Euro-Micro (GER or FRA).

Уже забронировал проживание на неделю в Landal Village l'Eau d'Heure
с 10 октября, для нас и RUS-150. Восьмиместное бунгало 4 спальни, с гостиной, кухней, с двумя душами и туалетами.
В данный момент цена невообразимая (именно на нужную дату - спецпредложение) вышло аж 607 EUR (после всех накруток и налогов). По другому и на рубли, это 3150руб. с чел. за неделю проживания или 450руб. с чел./ночь. Этот же домик неделей позже стоит уже 913 EUR с накрутками. При этом, если бронировать только три дня с пятницы, то получается даже дороже. Тем кто планирует ехать исключительно на регату рекомендую при бронировании обратить на это внимание.

This week-end is bank holiday in the Netherlands, so the company expects more demand and the prices are slightly higher. But usually there are also last-minute offers.
However I cannot explain why a full week is so cheap.
