TO: USA & CANADA ACCORDIONISTS
 
I arranged a trip in October to Castelfidardo which was the last of the big groups I will organise. It consisted of players from UK, Ireland, USA & Canada (and Israel). I may however organise a small group in mid -March or during second week in April as I have a number of people on a list who missed out last time for various reasons and also some additional requests.  If it goes ahead the size of the group will be limited to minimum 18 (max 20).  I am not planning any further trips beyond next year.
 
At this stage we are just gathering names of those interested with no obligation. In the past some of those attending from USA or Canada have linked the trip with visits to friends or relatives in UK or Europe or part of a wider tour of Italy.
 
Below is a summary of the trip…..
·        Fly to Bologna from your nearest airport or to London and join the UK group departure to Bologna on British Airways (book own flights) / Travel by coach from Bologna to Castelfidardo / Coach and driver available with the group throughout the stay / Accommodation for 4 nights at a good hotel with breakfast daily / Visits to factories to see wonderful instruments being built by hand / Play high quality accordions loaned to the group by some of the manufacturers / See also how reeds are produced and how bellows are made / Visit to the Carini accordion accessory shop / Visit to the Castelfidardo Accordion Museum / Try out the largest working piano accordion in the world / Optional lunchtime visits to some of the attractive nearby towns such as the religious pilgrimage town of Loreto and to see the Basilica and Holy House / Optional visit to Osimo underground caves / Visit seaside resorts in the evening for dinner and accordion entertainment / Group members are able to entertain at the restaurants on the loaned accordions / On the return journey to Bologna airport there is a stop for around 4 hours in either the independent state of San Marino OR Bologna City for sightseeing, lunch and shopping.
 
For anyone flying to London and needing assistance with hotels I can help.  Also for those flying to Bologna for a pre or post stay I have hotel connections.
People arrange their own flights and there are designated flights we use from London to Bologna. 
 
For those flying from Canada to Bologna we have a taxi service to take people from their hotel to meet up with the London group and on to the coach.
 
Cost for the package including the above visits, coach transport throughout, 4 nights hotel accommodation with breakfast daily and accompanied throughout is approximately between CAD$ 1330 - $1360 per person in double/twin accommodation. Single supplement around $100 / USA - $950- $970pp.  Single supplement approx $80.
 
If any questions please get in touch.
 
It is just names of those definitely interested we need at the moment. It’s limited numbers and we will log names as received until we reach capacity.
 
This is a great opportunity to visit Accordion Mecca!
 
Thank you
