hi,
is there any chance of expanding your pre-tour list, because as long as we are on the waiting list, we could hardly apply for intsaab 2011?
We do not expect any cancellation for the pre-tour, even if the listed persons will not join.
Kind Regards
Manfred&Inge
Unfortunately the pre-tour guest list is limited because of accommodation capacity along the route.
I will attend to my own sleeping accomodation and probably will be driving a renting car.
I was not able to register earlier because of work, I got only the OK to leave for the international week last Friday. Normally I was coming by truck SCANIA, but the transport on 1st of august was cancelled. That’s why I booked a last minute ticket with RYANAIR.
Kind regards,
Peter De Ketelaere, former Vice-President SAAB CLUB BELGIUM.
