Re: 2001 TOUR suggestions etc...

Dear Simon,


Last August I organised a tour to Germany - Rhineland / Mosel regions 
for very much the same reasons as you. It was a great success and so  
in 2001 we shall be going to Salzburg.

We did our organisation via Club Europe (http://www.club-europe.co.uk). 
I can thoroughly recommend their service - it's completely excellent
and I can't fault it at all! Tell them that I recommended you (I may 
get a discount on my next tour!!!) If you need any further information then 
please contact me and I shall be glad to help.

As for fund raising, we paid for the majority of the cost out of our 
own pockets. We had a small amount of sponsorship from local businesses - 
I just wrote to likely sources on spec, and had moderate success.
I also believe that the Foundation for Sports and Arts (or some such 
similar title) offer grants for tours - there was talk about this on 
the list fairly recently, but when I asked about the application 
procedure I didn't get any reply!!!

Hope you have a successful tour - if I can offer any more help then 
feel free to email me!!!
Best wishes
Dave
