    From Newsgroup: uk.rec.motorcycles

    Cab has updated the Fb event with a list of attendees https://www.facebook.com/events/1507054827007136/
    Usual schtick, Fri/Sat with dinner in a hotel in Sedan
    May 1&2, 2026. Sort your own Channel Crossing.

    You will need to be a member of the UKRM Fb group to see this

    Cab needs final commitments and will be asking for deposits in euros soon.

    All of the runners so far are Fb members so if you only post here and want
    to go on the trip, you will need to contact Cab via some other method.

    As long as there's a reminder here as I don't frequent Farcebook often
    as it's mainly full of crap.

    the link provided takes you direct to the relevant event page on Fb so you
    do not need to view any other pages of crap. Fb is the chosen medium to organise this event.

    I assume you have checked the page to see your name is on the list. I
    suggest you ensure Cab has an email address or Whatsapp no. so he can
    contact you directly to arrange paying the deposit. You might have to lower yourself to using Fb direct message to facilitate this.

    For anyone not wanting to use Fb to keep up to date, the onus is on them to make direct contact with Cab.

    for those on the trip, go to
    https://www.facebook.com/events/1507054827007136/ to see your costings and what you need to do to get funds to Cab

    He wants payment in euros. If you do not have a euros account then Wise
    offer transfers at reasonable rates. No credit check to open an account.
    In fact, if you use my referral link, you won't pay any fees on the first transaction.

    @Champ - Cab is emailing you

    I've pulled my finger out and I'm here too.

    So post from FB is:

    ---------

    ***
    EDIT at the top. Those prices are in EUROS, not GBP.
    ***

    Fecking Facebook. It doesnAt have drafts for messages. Not what I can
    see.

    HereAs the final (hah!) room list with prices.

    This includes 2 nights, 2 dinners, 2 breakfasts and 2 nights taxes for
    the single reprobates. For the double/twin room folk, 2 nights, 4
    dinners, 4 breakfasts and 2 nights taxes. (IAve written that to
    reassure myself that the Excel formula is working)

    And no, I will not split out breakfasts on an individual basis.

    Rooms will need to be paid for by the 28th Feb. So to do this, can each
    of you drop me a mail (to neil@rosbif.org) with the subject title oUKRM
    Run 2026o (IAll be naming and shaming those that donAt put that subject
    title!) so I can send you my French IBAN details. I donAt know if itAs
    safe to post an IBAN on a public forum, so IAm not taking any chances.
    As I said previously, it'll have to be the EUR amount this year, into a
    Euro account.

    Dave Wesson Wessie, can you do me the honours and post this to the
    other place? IAll drop Champ an email.

    Nigel Ince, Tony Sullivan, can you please confirm your room choices by
    the end of next week.

    I think I've got everything. Lemme know if I've missed something off.
    Oh, a poll is coming up for food in a mo. I really need to know who the veggies/awkward buggers are. Please raise your hands.

    ---------

    As for the food poll, there are enough "voters" over there, so majority
    wins.

    Email me at my addy, so I can pass on my IBAN to you (and collect email addresses).

    Twin/Double is C381.32
    Single room sociopath is C261.32

    It should go without saying, but ping me when you've paid, so I can
    keep proper track. It'll save me from having to dive into my account
    every 5 mins.

    A combination of F.B. Purity and Pihole allows my Facebook experience to be advertisement-free. I only visit groups that interest me so I avoid the
    other crap too.
