    Please book me in for 1. My great grandfather served with the east surreys and died in the attack on cherisy 3 may 1917 his name is at arras memorial so this is of great interest to me.

    Unfortunately I can't make this - really enjoyed the Ypres trip and anyone considering this should go for it.

    I have booked into the Holiday Inn, as has the coach driver, and I know a number of others have too.

    I presume there will be no plans to get a second coach if there was demand?

    Is it far from St Truiden?

    I've booked two rooms at the Stayen just in case - can always cancel later.

    Michael and I are in as well. As last year we arrive from Germany and are going to meet you on Saturday morning/noon at the first place of the itinerary. We've booked a room at the Ibis Centre not to far from the Mercure and Holiday Inn.
    Really looking forward to see you there.

    When I booked the holiday inn yesterday morning it said there were only 3 rooms left.
    I assume I’ve booked into the wrong one now, still I’ll enjoy the peace and quiet...

    Also booked into Holiday Inn Express, although I initially assumed it was in Belgium, not France !

    Another one in the Holiday Inn - there were 6 twins available when I booked this morning. My guess is that these booking companies take the option on just a few rooms at a time, and top up as they get booked.
