Dear Peter and other Brothers on this conversation,
Bruno
and I had a meeting on Friday, and as I am the host and Bruno a more
experienced elder, I believe we will do the organisation.
I have more than 20 years experience organising my own International Retreats and small Festivals so this will not be a problem.
I
have already dedicated a couple of hours to designing a flyer (with
only the most basic info) and creating a booking button on my
website/shop for the €50 deposit etc.
Before
you all start asking lists of questions which I would have to answer
individually, I am today giving you a clearer picture and more
information, which I hope will answer many questions in advance.
I
will also create the Event on Facebook, so those of you with a Fb
profile or page can participate via the Event Page, share it with your
contacts and also invite all the men on your lists to attend.
There
are 20 places at the Dome, ( 4 rooms for 4 on adult-size bunks, 1 room
for 4 with single beds and 2 double rooms). There are two or 3 country
(rural) Inns within walking distance for those who want single rooms
and/or a slightly more comfortable room etc. , www.casaalmar.com and www.toprural.com
May
I suggest that people first book their place via the website BEFORE
purchasing their flight, even if it's only a few hours before, so their
place can be confirmed.
Those on this e-mail should know the following.
TRAVEL:
FROM ALICANTE
AIRPORT: we strongly recommend you fly to this airport
See the Beniconnect Shuttle direct to our village of
Alcalalí for €25: http://www.beniconnect.com You need your
Flight number to book, and you need to book at least 24 hours in advance.
On the Beniconnect site choose Alicante airport as your starting point, the village of ALCALALÍ as your Destination. You may
have to wait for some time at the airport for other flights to come in with
more passengers.
The other option,is a little
more more complicated, the Shuttle Bus from the airport into Alicante Centro
(Estación Central de Autobuses). At the Central bus station, you get the
Valencia bus www.alsa.es from ALSA, and get
off in the village of Benisa (also spelled Benissa with 2 s's), at the Bar/Restaurante Frau Stop -Parada in Spanish. This is 9km from the Dome and
you will need a taxi for the last leg of the trip.
FROM VALENCIA AIRPORT: further and bit more complicated..
METRO (underground train) OR Shuttle bus (every 20 mins
approx.) to Central Bus Station (Estación Central de Autobuses). From there
take the ALSA bus www.alsa.es in the direction
Alicante and you get off in the town
of Ondara, first stop. (1hr45mins). From there it’s Taxi only, but it’s just
14kms. The other option is a Taxi at around €110 direct from the airport, in
which case, it will be cheaper to share.
I attach a FIRST DRAFT of
a flyer, although I suggest people go to the event on Facebook (and/or
my website when it's ready) to see more details.

Yours in Harmony and Brotherhood
