David Ives Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 can i bring a coach in there as will be doing a tour of normandy beaches that week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joris Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Sure that should not be a problem, if all goes to plan we will have a WWII bigband "de Zendmasters" that will accompany us and they will provide trumpet players for the last post. They were with us in 2004 too, here are some pictures: http://www.zendmasters.nl/html/normandie.htm How many people will be in the coach? Just a rough estimate will do, it's a big beach so space is not an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 can i bring a coach in there as will be doing a tour of normandy beaches that week We'll have a living history camp up the road, can supply details if you want?

Joris Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Tony, the Normandy Charter requires us to have a written invitation to events to be able to vist them, can we exchange invitations? Correct about David but he's in a coach and I'll be in the Dodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
