Hi Everyone,

The advance details of the 2009 R1 ARDF Championships were made known
at the R1 Conference at Cavtat.

They will be held at Obzor, on the Black Sea coast of Bulgaria, 16th
to 21st September 2009.  The hotel is the four star Hotel Miramar, (www.
miramar-bg.com) and it is located near to the sea.  The Black Sea coast
of Bulgaria is attractive and a top hotel, such as the Miramar, is good
by western European standards.  By running the  ARDF Championships at
the end of their season, the hotel costs are attractive too.
The dates chosen are Wednesday to Monday instead of the usual Tuesday
to Sunday in order to fit in with the other bookings at the hotel.
Travelling out there is a choice between flying to Sofia and facing
the long drive from there to the coast (think Heathrow to Newcastle-on-
Tyne over inferior roads) or taking a direct charter flight to Bourgas.
Generally these charter flights offer a weekly service and, to match
the Championship time table, travel needs to be undertaken on either a
Monday , Tuesday or a Wednesday and the extra nights added to the hotel
booking.    Some of these charter flights are in the middle of the
night but there is a Monarch Flight from Manchester on Mondays which is
timed reasonably. The BH Air flight from Gatwick is not too bad except
that arrival at Bourgas is a bit late in the evening.  Obzor is about
50 miles north of Bourgas.  Both these airlines fly to Bourgas on a
Monday.  There are daily flights to Sofia.
If you do not have school age children, this could be an opportunity
for a week away with your wife/husband/partner/ significant other.
The competition website will be www.ardf2009.com, but this was not
active at the time of writing.

I will add the details to the ARDF website in the UK in the next
couple of days.
