Itinerary for Ieper: special considerations Wellington boots/sturdy walking shoes. The Ieper mud was a legendary foe for the soldier of ’14, but can still cling with clods to the modern shoe. We will walk through battlefield sites, which can be very, very muddy. Raincoat/umbrella. The Flanders ‘Westhoek’ is notorious for its rainfall, not exactly ideal for a drawn out military conflict, neither for a field trip for Dutch students. Please make sure you have the appropriate material to protect yourself against the rain. Packed lunch for the journey to Ieper on Wednesday 26 November. On Thursday 27/11 and Friday 28/11 lunch is provided. Money for dinner on Wednesday 26/11 and Thursday 27/11. You will dine at your own leisure, there are many good and budget friendly places to go and eat, varying from €5-€15. Linnen and blankets are provided! Towels are not provided!
Menin Gate School Hotel & Poppies School Hotel Rules 2014 In België geldt de wet op het nachtlawaai die stelt dat het na 22u00 stil moet zijn, teneinde de nachtrust van de buren te respecteren. Onze 3 hotels liggen in het hartje van Ieper, wat een enorm voordeel is. Dit betekent echter ook dat we ten alle tijde rekening moeten houden met en respect hebben voor de buren en de bewoners van de omgeving. Om die reden is het absoluut noodzakelijk de hieronder beschreven huisregels na te leven. Gelieve deze goed na te lezen en ons te bevestigen dat u of uw groep hiermee instemt alvorens het verblijf bij ons vast te leggen. Huisregels betreffende geluidsoverlast: 1. Vanaf 22u00 ’s avonds moet het op de slaapkamers en in de gangen absoluut stil zijn. Heen en weer geloop in de gangen en luid gebabbel worden niet geaccepteerd. 2. Vanaf 23u00 ’s avonds mag de games room op het gelijkvloers niet meer gebruikt worden voor spelletjes en/of bijeenkomsten. 3. Op de trappen en in de gangen mag er NOOIT gerend worden. Lopen en stampen op de houten trappen en vloeren veroorzaakt een hels lawaai. 4. Het gebruik van alcohol in de kamers is verboden. Roken mag alleen buiten het gebouw, en niet na 23:00. 5. Eventuele schade aan het pand wordt verhaald op de gebruiker/gast. Het niet naleven van deze regels legt een regelrechte hypotheek op het voortbestaan van dit hotel. We zijn ten slotte een overnachtingsplaats; het gebouw kan en mag dan ook niet gebruikt worden als feestzaal of discotheek. Met dit exemplaar te ondertekenen, verklaart u akkoord te gaan met onze regels en stemt u in om deze te respecteren.
Hartelijk dank voor uw begrip.
Met vriendelijke groet, Stefaan Vanderstraete, Algemeen directeur.
