We had a brilliant line-dancing demonstration from the Dancing Cowboys and many more activities plus a show from our very own Freestlye Academy based here on the Village.

The group met outside Costcutters and we set off at approximately 7.00am for Dover. The coach was well equipped and had a DVD player so I thought Pirates of the Caribbean was quite appropriate! We arrived at Dover in time for our ferry and arrived at Cite Europe in France by lunchtime. After 6 hours of shopping and lots of bargains later it was time to head back to the ferry terminal for the return journey home and a last attempt to get some Duty Free items. The film on the way home was Men In Black II which was missed by quite a few sleepy passengers and we arrived back on the GUV at 11.15pm. We are hoping to run another trip near to Easter and will be advertising next month on the village. Cite Europe in Calais The Genesis Crew Ah bless! The usual suspect Who ate all the biscuits?
