Once again we are travelling at the end of January, this year not to Paris, but back to Namur, in Belgium, where we took part in the Paris St Germain (Belgium Branch) supporters' 5-a-side tournament back in May 2006.
We're not quite sure who we will be playing. It will either be PSG Belgium, if they're not scared to take us, never having beaten us in a full 90 minute eleven-a-side match! Or it might be a team comprised of the fans of Namur, who were promoted to the Belgian Second Division in the close season, after much internal Belgian footballing-political wrangling. no don't ask me, I have no idea what went on either, but the important thing is that they are now up!
The date of our trip will be the weekend of Saturday/Sunday 26th/27th January.
Please email Andy to let him know if you are interested, as he will need to sort out hotel arrangements. You will be responsible, as per usual, for your own travel. With Eurostar the best bet to Brussels. The 'bonus' of going this route is that it will give many of you your first glimpse of the new Eurostar terminal at St Pancras. Perfect! If you book early enough it is only £59 return, & you can also travel on to Namur & back to Brussels inclusive, if going there within 24 hours on the date on your ticket.
Of course this will mean that we miss a Dulwich Hamlet First Team match, which is at home to Walton & Hersham.
But then I don't look on it as missing a Dulwich Hamlet game, but representing the Club in another.
