Thanks to everyone who posted their suggestions and voted in the Facebook poll. Your winners are [drum roll]:

 

Night 1) Tight and Bright

Night 2) Retro Sports

Night 3) Superheroes

Night 4) Geeks vs OAPs

 

Unfortunately we have decided not to hold a Beach Party fancy dress night on tour this year. The authorities in Spain have informed us that there will be a strict policy on dress code in Salou and all students must be wearing a top and bottoms. Therefore we have chosen the 4 next most popular themes from our poll and we look forward to seeing some epic fancy dress efforts from you this year!

2012 Fancy Dress Themes

 

So without further ado, let’s get on with planning tour 2012! It’s only 5 weeks until the first festival and we’re kicking things off in Croatia for the first time ever. Then of course our old favourites, Saloufest and Festival Italia are back and bigger than ever before. It’s a record breaking year for ILOVETOUR as we have 14,000 students across all the Easter events, which means you will be part of our biggest ever sports festivals!

 

To make sure our festivals are the best ever we’ve upped our game to bring you more activities in resort and even better nights out so watch out because the party atmosphere is going to be unbelievable! Keep an eye on our Facebook page for all the news about what’s going on including the design for the 2012 ILOVETOUR t-shirts and of course the entertainment line up!

Leeds Vs Amsterdam Social

30/01/2012


Thursday night in Leeds saw the Pre-'Dam Social for Leeds Vs Amsterdam. The perfect ice-breaker to get over 100 students from Leeds socialising, making new friends and getting EXCITED for their BIG weekend in Amsterdam in February.

Banter was flying as the students got to know each other and received a few details about their trip. The long weekend has been designed to cater for everyone, with the chance to experience the cultured side of Amsterdam, the museums, Café's and what the designer shops have to offer, down to the eye opening delights of the Red Light District and the chilled pubs and bars in the area.

 

A lot of chatter about the big bar crawl that everyone will be doing on the first night which is sure to give everyone some great memories (or lose some ;) ), and the Anne Frank Museum and Heineken Experience will be a firm favourite for the day time excursions

Everyone's MASSIVELY looking forward to what will be an incredible weekend, and ILOVETOUR can't wait to show them the sites, sounds, and smells of what the original Sin City has to offer!

Christmas is now just around the corner and while most people are counting down the sleeps and running around town looking for last minute presents, the ILOVETOUR elves are beavering away in our office working harder than ever before! The deposit deadline was tackled with such almighty strength by our sales team and all our
group leaders that we have only ended up with the biggest numbers for sports tour ever! That’s right, we’ve got a
whopping 13,500 students travelling to our festivals next Easter.

 

As you all know, we were feeling so happy that we decided to reward one lucky tour goer by paying off their balance. Congratulations to our winner Amber French from the Chester Vixens!

 

Hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas and amazing new year!
