From Roland:
All
This year I have the job of looking at hotels. Below are
details for two hotels which Nicky has given the ‘thumbs up’, are central and
which still have plenty of rooms and are offering the choir very attractive
group rates which are competitive for Bruges in August: the IBIS Brugge
Centrum and the Hotel Cordoeanier. Please check them out
– and see how much you will save compared with booking direct.
If you want the group rate (and want to help others get the
group rate) we have to submit all the rooms as one reservation (ie not all
separate bookings). I will do this so please let me know your preferred hotel,
room type and names. If you don’t want me to know who you’re sharing with of
course you can either book direct or you can just say ‘and guest’; but we will
find out anyway, unless you prefer to book a hotel away from everyone else
which of course anyone is free to do.
Note the IBIS has only doubles and twins; the 2 star
Cordoeanier has a 3 night minimum for the group rate but it also has rooms for
3 & 4 people which can work out quite cheap if you take ear plugs and are
prepared to share with close friends and queue for the bathroom.
Some people will be going on Thursday and returning Monday.
We need 15 at the IBIS and 20 at the Cordoeanier to get the
discount. I will use my discretion when to place the bookings – so please email
soon – or let me know if there is a reason why you want me to wait a short time
(eg to persuade the boss / wife / husband to give you a day off or to persuade
someone in altos or tenors to share a room with you) which I will do if there
are still lots of rooms available. Also below is the list of definite and
possible Bruges singers so if you want to share a room with someone you can see
who else is going and approach as you wish.

Roland
