    Euro 2016

    Any other Brits going to be at Hedo on June 20th & wondering how they are going to see the England v Slovakia game? Yeah me too.

    Is it possible to get BBC1 (the TV channel, not one big black cock!) on any TV's in the resort or does anyone have some sort of whizzy internet TV option going?

    If there's enough of us, we could turn it into some sort of party. Come on, it will be fun!

    You are in luck: tune in channel 65 for BBC1 coverage. You might convince the folks in the piano bar or the disco to tune it in for your friends and an open bar. Of course, depending on the time the game airs.

    Fabulous, thanks for the info.

    Well the game airs at 8pm UK time so 2pm over there, which fits in nicely after lunch.

    During one of our recent trips we had arranged with the resort to place a projector in the courtyard to show a hockey game for a bunch of us who were interested in making the game a party event. It ended up raining that whole day so they moved us to the games room off the piano bar. We lost a number of folks due to the coast minute change (people walked past the courtyard, didn't see anyone, and moved on thinking it was canceled) but we still had a good turnout, made some new friends who had a love of hockey in common, and the Canadiens beat the Leafs 4-0, so all in all a really great night.

    If you have a small group, the games room may be perfect for you - and ask for a bottle of champaign on ice for when your team wins!

    Last October they had a big screen TV set up in the courtyard near the restrooms for us New Yawkers to watch the Mets lose in the World Series.

    I get the impression we'll be the only ones who want to watch it, so they probably won't do that

    Hi, 2 years ago we watched most of the World cup games on big TVs set up on stage. Interest from most guests was polite but passing, as you can imagine we two Brits felt rather alone. However, it turned out most of the ECs and other hotel staff showed great interest especially in the England games (Sterling was born in Jamaica). We ended up watching one England match with the ECs for company and when England scored they joined our celebrations with Eton, Ash and other ECs going absolutely nuts and doing Flik-Flaks across the dance floor! Having said that, I doubt if the Euros will warrant much interest or TVs on stage. I'm sure, as you know, just being at Hedo will more than make up for any football disappointment! Enjoy - we are there August.
