Hello friendly modellers, and friendly modelling clubs ! 
As you know at present, it’s been 7 years this forum’s members:
http://modelismenavalradioc.nouvellestar6.com/search.forum?search_id=newpostsmeet, for the Ascension week. This year the event will last
Sunday 05 May to Sunday 21 May 2013 to enjoy fun with friends or family around a lake.
This meeting is just friendly and is not related in anyway to any kind of race, or official competition, but good feeling. It provides us with a link to gather modellers from everywhere, whatever the skills levels they have no matter the different kinds of boats, to have fun altogether, from Sunday to the next one. We made the choice of the Ascension’s week because of the generally speaking nice weather at this time of the year, and because of the Thursday Holiday that makes most of people easier to join.
According to the constantly rising success of this event and to the wish of numerous clubs, we made up our minds to plan for a huge 2012 meeting and to ask you, your family and your club to join. (This meeting is fully unrelated with any kind of federal organization, thus everybody is to take part on his own responsibility.)
We should be very glad if you would take part to this GAZOULAND 2013 that will be held at the
Lake of Varennes à, next to MARCON, Sarthe department
.

Lat...... 47° 42' 45.00 N

.in the area Tours / Le Mans / Vendôme, say about 1h45 drive from PARIS.
The outstanding place is fully dedicated to the sailing of our modelboats. All of them are accepted, but the thermics ones that will be only one hour each half day allocated every day.
Accommodation will be provided very close to the lake in mobile - homes and bungalows.
Each bungalow is up to six beds, that is to say singles can gather in bungalow to share its rental, and each club will define the number of people in each bungalow booked.
A huge room will be offered to store all the models 20 m walk to water. This room will be converted into the dining room and ballroom for the closing night.
Concerned with your family issues, let us let you know you join with whom you want, you stay as long as you wish, sail just whenever you plan. You also can live for walking around , there are so many things to do , for example to visit numerous well-known La Loire Castles (AMBOISE, CHAUMONT SUR LOIRE, LANGEAIS, VALENCAY, CHEVERNY, LE LUDE, LUCHE-PRINGE, etc.) taste cheeses and wineyards, cycling and so on.
You have the choice to manage your food on your own or to use the available settings.
Indicating price for accommodation is around 70 euro each for the full week, it will be confirmed at booking time.
This price looks around the same as 2 nights in the surroundings hotels.
Anyway, camping cars, vans and tents won’t be forgotten, location prices are listed on the camping site – see below.
