Alan,
The plan is a couple of days in the area. So one day out, one in Colditz,
one in either Dresden or Leipzig (I vote Dresden, they have some superb
steam trains :-), plus I want to see inside the Fraukirsche), and one back.
Cheers,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy
Kate & I would like to go if possible and if it helps we could take our
"other aircraft" so we would have two spare seats. Is it to be a straight
there and back or are you planning to make it a few days of "merrymaking"
Cheers
Alan

Yes, you read right. Colditz in the former East Germany, home of the
infamous Colditz Castle, World War 2 PoW camp for the Prominenter
(high-profile prisoners) and the Deutchfeindlich ('bad-boys' of the
incarcerated Allied forces).
We're organising a Club trip to visit the Castle. To make this even more
enticing, we're taking Garsham Robertson, Colditz expert and tour guide with
us. There are never any guarantees, but it is possible that Garsh may be
able to get us into parts of the castle one does not normally get to see (in
the past this has included the attic where the glider was built, Douglas
Bader's room, the theatre, the corridor over the gate to the guardhouse, and
the chapel with the famous French tunnel (but not the tunnel itself)).
Dates will be Friday 19th through Monday 21st/Tuesday 22nd May this year,
and will include a full day at the castle. It will be an event not to be
missed, but numbers will be very limited.
If you are interested in joining the trip, please let me know. Please
indicate if you have your own aircraft and if you will be able to take a
passenger. Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, but
I'm afraid I need to reserve the right to prioritise those able to take a
passenger as not everyone involved in organising this has an airworthy
plane.
If you'd like a 'recommended reading' list before you go, please just let me
know.
Regards,
Jeremy
