Folks
For a joint 40th we've decided that the 4 of us will head off for a ski holiday at the February mid-term. We've a 3.5yo and a 5yo so any suggestions or advice is welcome
. Nothing booked at this stage and no real ideal where to go. Prefer to fly from Shannon if possible, but a short transfer the other side would be good too. 0 -

Feb mid term is the most expensive time to go apart from the new year.:( If you could go any other time it will be half the price.:D Other than that we head to Kitzbuhel can fly into memmengin germany hire a car and drive. There are loads of hotels and apartments in the town. The ski school will take the 2 kids from 9.30 to 3.30 through lunch and if your a few minutes late it wont be a problem.:D We normally go in mid january there are 7 in the family, we go the apartment route and cook and feed ourselves myself and the twins can ski so there is only lessons for 3 and creche for the baby. The all in cost is around 3.5k for the week and when the baby is capable to ski it will reduce the cost bya few hundred euro. Anyway if you have loads of dosh there is a skiing section in the sports section of boards.:D
Just another thing if its the first time the gear in lidl would do And be tough on the kids make them stay in the class and walk away the staff are brilliant with the kids.0 -

Been there and done that but those days are now over!No kids, not really an issue for me, but there seemed to be a good few there, seen them while we were skiing from one bar to the other.
Haven't looked at Soll yet but it's an option. There's a lot of resorts in a small area around there.So far soll has been thebest with excellent instructors and short drive from salzburg
Well we booked flights into Memmingen this evening as they were alot cheaper than the other airports and said we'd book them and research the resorts later. Took 4 hours this evening just to make that decision!Feb mid term is the most expensive time to go apart from the new year.:( If you could go any other time it will be half the price.:D Other than that we head to Kitzbuhel can fly into memmengin germany hire a car and drive.

We'll be looking at self-catering so a small apartment would suit. The transfer seems to be an issue and whilst hiring a car is more expensive, it may be the only option given the age of the kids.
And funnily enough I was in Aldi earlier and there was ski gear on sale and took it as a sign. The kids now have ski suits and gloves:D. I'm with you when it comes to dropping the kids at the class. Once your out of sight they fall in with what ever the instructor says. Same thing as at the creche, best thing is to drop and dash, hanging around only provokes acting up
. Can you recall which ski school you went to? On the Kitzbuhel website they list all the ski schools and it is hard to get a feel for them. We will be booking in advance as we're arriving late on Sunday and have only booked for 4 days skiing.
So we're committed which is half the battle, looking forward to it now:)0 -

Teagasc
almost 2 years ago I came to the end of my REPS 3 and also the end of my contract with Teagasc. After being bandied about to 3 different advisors I decided to go to a private contractor who did my AEOS and things are hunky dory so far.
However, at a function last weekend, I met an acquaintance from Teagasc. He was my first advisor, now promoted. (nice guy in fairness)
He knew all about my 2012 SFP details, stocking rates and AEOS participation etc. and the entitlements I bought and sold.
I was flummoxed to know how he was aware of all this...? Can these guys access any farmers information on the Dept system?
Its not top secret or anything but I dont see how its any of their business anymore... 0 -
