ITS FINALLY ARRIVED - information on this years u-13 Tour   See below for Tour details. I will be using the same tour company as the senior guys so they know what a Rugby tour is all about & they already know URFC - if you get 5 minutes go on to www.youtube.co.uk & plug in URFC & see what the senior guys got up to on tour when the lads don’t have women there the reign them in!!   Guys there is still a lot of work to get done before we can all pat ourselves on the back & say what a great time we are going to have so lets get this moving quickly as I need to commit FIRM numbers in approx 2 weeks.   As you can see the quote  is based  on accommodation at Centre Parcs De Vossemeren – for more information on the park please feel free to visit their website, where you can take a virtual tour to view the excellent facilities on offer in more detail: http://www.centerparcs.com/EN/GB/villages/vossemeren   Wewill be staying in self catering villas and at present your quote is based on a combination of 4 and 6-berth villas. Please see the lay-out of each of the villa types below:    4-person: 2 bedrooms (1 with a double bed and 1 with 2 x single beds), lounge area, kitchen (with microwave oven, coffee machine & toaster), bathroom and separate terrace with garden furniture 6-person: 3 bedrooms (1 with a double bed and 2 with 2 x single beds), lounge area, kitchen (with microwave oven, coffee machine & toaster), bathroom and separate terrace with garden furniture. So sort your room buddies out now   Please also note that the villas must be fully occupied (i.e. 6 people in a 6-person villa etc) or supplements will apply. Due to the fact that we are looking to travel in just under 5 months time we will need a fairly quick decision to ensure that we can still get this offer of accommodation as well as the coach and ferry.    I NEED TO CONFIRM THE BOOKING BY 27TH DECEMBER   Also I need someone from the Lions & Tigers to do the paperwork & cheque collecting on this as I have not got the time, so can we have 2 volunteers for the most important job of the season THIS TOUR IS OPEN TO ALL & ESPECIALLY ALL THE NEW GUYS WHO HAVE JOINED US THIS YEAR SO AS THEY CAN HAVE THEIR EYES OPENED TO WHAT SORT OF WORLD THEY HAVE BROUGHT THEIR SONS INTO!!!!!   Any Questions please ask Dean   URFC Under Thirteen's Tour 2008 General Information                 You will be based at the wonderful De Vossemeren Centre Parcs in Lommel, northern Belgium.
