News....
I think I now have our rooms reserved in Annecy, for four nights:

Tuesday 27 August
Wednesday 28 August
Thursday 29 August
It's the Hotel Restaurant Arcalod Doussard

Seems to do OK on TripAdvisor:

Because of the season lots of hotels like to work on a half-board basis (breakfast and evening meal). That's OK with me.
I am just waiting for confirmation that we have:
- One double room (gone to a mate of mine, Ian and his wife, Bernie) EUR 146 a night inc. meals
- Six single rooms (one gone to me) - EUR 78 a night inc. meals
- One twin room - EUR 77 a night inc. meals
Now, we probably have some oversubscription, so I will be as fair as I can be:
- First to bods who are Subscribers to UKGSer as of today.
- Second to bods who have been in regular contact with me via PM. These are:
Iand46
Yorkie
Byron
- Third to bods in the same order as they posted up interest:
Neil DD
Wessie
Karl P
Bakerlonglegs
Tommymoto
From that list, we can probably do a bit of juggling around and / or hope that I can get another twin room..... This of course assumes that chummy the hotel owner can confirm my booking..... If bods can let me know if they are happy to share, I'll do my very best.
I will PM everyone so that they can see that the thread has come to life.
If I can get a firm landing on the rooms by the end of this week I can look for our hotels on the way down and back etc and not least sort out our crossing and return dates.

Sorry, with regret I'm out of this one, which is a pisser Clash of holiday plans and commitments elsewhere.
Have a good one.
