Going to Biarritz?

John Trigg — Mon, 31 Oct 2011 15:03:51 +0000

Here’s a great offer for some entertainment before and after the Heineken Cup game on Sat 19th.

Friday night (18th November) from 7pm onwards there will be AUPA B.O. members getting
together in The Red Cafe, 9 Marechal Foch, Biarritz 64200 Tel- 00 33 (0)559242102. The owner, Fred, is putting on some free tapas for everyone and for those who want to eat something more substantial, he will have his restaurant open as well. We have also arranged for some Basque singers to be there. It would be great if any Sarries’ fans who are around in Biarritz on the Friday night could come along.

On Saturday there will be an opportunity to meet and take a drink before, and directly after the game in Le B.O. Cafe at the stadium. Afterwards most people will probably wander down to town and end up in the Red Cafe, where the restaurant will be open and tapas will be available but at the usual cost!

SSA Travel – Gloucester & Ospreys

John Trigg — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 09:51:38 +0000

As many of you are aware, uptake on the SSA coaches to away games has been much lower than usual. We have all speculated to the cause but no-one has a definitive answer. Which leaves us in a quandary. Do we run coaches to Gloucester later this month and to the Ospreys game in December in the HC cup?

Looking at last year’s coach to Gloucester there were the usual stalwarts plus a few others but even then it was wasn’t very full. So we have decided to ask you to email us and let us know if you would take the coach to Gloucester if it was running. Cost for an SSA member is £25

Ospreys is a difficult one. The match is on a Friday night at the other end of the country from here. Kick off is at 8pm which means a late finish and we believe the best option would be a coach down Friday afternoon and back again Saturday morning. So, once again, if there is sufficient interest this coach will run. Cost for an SSA member is £45

If you are interested in travelling on either of these coaches please email us at travel@saracenssupporters.orgwith details of which coach you would be interested in and which pick up point you would prefer. If enough people ask for the coach we will run one.
