Hi everyone

We arrived home yesterday after a great trip.

Thanks to all of you for the compliments on the meet, we certainly enjoyed it. Thanks also from Jen and I to all of you for coming along and making the meet such a success, it wouldn't have been the same without you all.

Several members made this their first MHF meet and judging by their comments they'll be going to more in the future. It was really good for us to meet some new faces and I hope we made all you strangers feel very welcome. We even collected some potential new members on the way to Amboise and during our subsequent travels through France.

When we first planned the meet we thought it unlikely that more than a handful of members would turn up - how wrong we were. Twenty odd vans and three tents made a great turn out and opens the way to planning more overseas meets in the future. I'll be surprised if this meet isn't repeated next year if the favourable comments are anything to go by.

Some great photos posted by Joe and more promised by Zoro, we look forward to seeing them Steve. I haven't had a chance to go through ours yet but I'll be hoping to post some - and some video if I can get the files small enough. Any others of you with photos, we want to see them so get posting.

Hi Ken & Jen,

Glad to hear you have arrived back safely, just wondering where your travels took you after Amboise. Very Happy

Hi to all Amboise veterans,

We just got back from our trip around France which started at the Amboise Brass Band Festival.
It was a great start to our holiday and we will probably call in there next year.
The site was good value for money and the town was just the right size. Not too big to get lost in but with plenty of interesting bits!

Many thanks to Ken and Jen for suggesting the venue.

See you next year?

Sally and David

Hi All

I've been trying to upload some video here without much success, I'll try again tomorrow. In the meantime here's a link to YouTube:

This is just a short clip of Lockwood Brass on the Saturday morning, there are at least two MHF members in it, see if you can recognise anyone. Cool

Hi everybody we arrived home today after a brilliant holiday.

Amboise was lovely and the Brass Band Festival was excellent, we met lots of members from MHF and it was a great way to start our holiday.

We clocked up a total of 1800 miles and stayed at 10 different sites including 2 aires. We used the ASCI book for most of the sites and were never disapointed.

Hi to all from Auntie Sandra and me. We arrived home at 10am Tuesday, 1st July, after four weeks in France.

Our tour took us via Bernay, near Rouen, to Amboise where we enjoyed our first ever MHF meet. We can only endorse the words of others in appreciating the efforts of Ken and Jen who created the opportunity for us to witness a fine weekend of band music, enhanced by some wonderful company. It really was a great start to our holidays.

Having parted from our new-found friends, we moved along La Loire to La Guerche, then Macon, before moving on to Annecy and Le Grand Bornand. After a few days in the Alps, walking, swimming, cycling, we had to move north, so that Auntie Sandra could visit C&A at Chalons en Champagne!! Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes

Our final stage saw us back at Dunkerque for an early morning ferry to Dover.

Altogether, we had a very pleasant holiday during which the sun shone warmly most of the time.

Thanks again to all whose company we so enjoyed at Amboise. Very Happy

Hello everyone - we're just back from our trip to France/Spain.

Thanks very much Ken & Jen for organising the Brass Band Meet at Amboise. We thought it was superb!

Thanks also to everyone for making us so welcome - this was our first meet ever and we were delighted. We have now booked for the Global and look forward to meeting again.

The pictures that have been posted are great - thanks to the photographers who have taken the trouble to post. I'll see if I can add to them.

Best wishes - Andrea & Bob & Ellie (our Springer Very Happy )

Hi

Welcome home, hope you had a great holiday, just seen the photos they are really good, amazing isn't it over 100 photos for this meet.

Looking forward to seeing the "Dudley contingent" again at the Global, especially the dogs Laughing Laughing
