Costs above are an approximation, and based on an exchange rate of €1.30 to the £1 (Last year's guests enjoyed a more favourable exchange rate and so paid almost 10% less than the advertised price). Prices include half board in twin or double rooms with en suite bathrooms, wine each evening with dinner, a welcome cocktail party, a farewell drink, prize giving and a full Bridge programme. Also, our usual team will be on hand to help you enjoy both your ski-ing and après ski activities, pointing out the best pistes, restaurants and bars for you to enjoy. Paul Spencer will be with us on 3 of the 4 weeks, but not Jan. 10-17^th.  Bridge Partners are guaranteed.

There is a wide choice of flights to the Alps available at very competitive prices which you can book yourself. However, we have reserved several First and Standard Class seats for each Saturday on the Eurostar Express. The train departs from London St. Pancras International at 10am, and following a stop to pick up passengers in Kent is scheduled to arrive in Moutiers at 17.30 (local time). Transfers to the hotel will be provided in taxis or a private minibus with a transfer time of about 20 minutes. The train is very comfortable and there will be opportunities to enjoy a few hands of Bridge during the journey, as well as complimentary meals and drinks in First Class. The return trip has broadly similar timings, arriving back in London at around 16.15. The cost of the first class return train journey in 2008 was £250 per person for the early January departure, and between £309 and £349 for the other weeks. Standard Class fares were between £80 and £110 less depending on the departure date. Fares are expected to be similar in 2009 and will be advised as soon as they are known. Transfer costs to the hotel will be £12.50 per person each way.
There is also the freedom of driving to the resorts via the channel tunnel or ferry service and this could be the preferred choice for those happy to take their time getting there.

We are not arranging the complete package for you, as this would contravene European Travel Regulations. However by using quality Hotels that we know well, and where there is a reliable management structure, we feel that we are giving you the confidence that you will get good value for money. In addition you have the added flexibility of arranging your own travel should you so wish or joining others in our group on the train - their holiday starts in London!

Please let us have booking forms back as soon as you are able to confirm your requirements as two of the weeks were fully sold out last year and we cannot guarantee Hotel availability after 1st November. Seats on the Eurostar Express are also limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis!

We strongly recommend that you arrange a suitable travel insurance policy for your protection while travelling abroad. If you would like any help with this, we are able to put you in touch with our own brokers, Lloyd & Whyte of Taunton, who will provide you with a quotation.
