Hi folks,

Opinions please

Hi Werner
Are you talking about the Courbe Bar at the top left hand side of the Village next to the track? If so count me in as there's a Tartiflette stall nearby as well. Team Tres Hombres Racing will be in attendance at 9pm.

Sorry, this clashes with Razorlight.
In my opinion, for what it's worth, i.e nothing, the days of the big CA saturday meeting has passed. That we all see each other over the previous few days negates the need to meet up on saturday night and it's a shadow of its former glory.
That's not to say interested parties should not meet up, I'm just saying the monster meetings of 2003-2007 are now just a happy memories.
Plus ca change... :)

Agree, Andy. I think the main purpose is now to give forum newbies a chance to catch up with some of us in person...

Why don't they come and join us on Friday night on BN as that is where there will be the largest concentration will be.
We are also planning a 70's party night, well that is down to DJ Dimlo Sighs.

I'm all for the Courbe. I think it's still a good catch-all for those who, for various reasons, can't make other dos. Also, if nobody turns up it doesn't matter as you don't miss anything.
I can't get over to BN on Friday as I have no Paul this year and the rest of the week I'm not around except when cars are on track.

With 14 hungry Dutch and Danes the leftovers will fit in a matchbox Deb.Your best chance at Indonesian food would be to make it to Houx before 8 and we would gladly have you for dinner. Kpy and myself could help to get you back to the CA meeting at the Courbe bar after dinner if that's needed.

I'm going to have to get from afternoon drinks on Houx to Le Courbe and then to BN having given Razorlight a wide berth and stopping on MB to get my flares and tank top on.
Looks like I'm never going to get to the drivers parade after all these years!

Don't worry - this year will be my 25th at Le Mans and despite all intention to visit the parade I never made it there too - and I doubt it will happen this year ... - may be next year then ;D

This is my 21st Werner and I've only made the Drivers Parade once, that was purely by mistake. Too drunk to move.

Re-read Rusty's post, Your Lordship, flares and tank top required Friday night, not Saturday.

I'm guessing you'll be in the front row for Razorlight by then, playing the disabled card ;)
