Club Arnage

Well, Team Red Dragon will be attending, should be 18 of us.

Hopefully on MB with Paddy and DfH, but then again MB via the ACO direct or this years 2nd choice at Expo.

If it's BSJ again, I aint going.

If the ACO only give us BSJ, then I may well give up too.

We complained after last year, so we'll probably get a campsite near Dieppe

I will be and so will all of KKOC (Kent Kronenbourg Owners Club)

and personally i'll be there for years to come

Steve

Peter,

Because you are unable to attend the great race, I get the message. I am prepared to undertake this task and help out.

Readers should send me details of:-

-   Travel Dates,

-   Campsite,

-   Numbers,

-   Cars (Makes and Models), particulary if interesting and classics.

Members must PM me with details, therefore some control can be gained. Entries on this posting will be noted but not recorded. It must be by PM.

Leftie

Thanks for the heads up on that. But judging by last year, there were quite a few mis-entries. So I think we'll go both ways.

Its a little early for the official Who, What, Where and When isn't it Jerry? Thats usually around may time. Don't peak too soon ;D Much can change from now til June!

Si

We (Team LeMansZone) will be there!

Very candid of you there Jerry.

I'm going. Along with Skid Solo and Trackside (sometime posters here).

It goes without saying that termietermite will be there, be it walking, walking with a stick, walking on crutches, walking with a Zimmer, or in a wheelchair!

They were mostly his  ;D

I'll be there though the camping is not sorted yet.

t.

I'll be there with various members of Team Midget & Sprite Messy Houx Annexers
Also no Idea where we'll be resting our heads at this point.

Team Delboy will also be there.........I didn't get where I am today by NOT going to LM   ;D

Don't know which site yet - no allocation letter in spite of the order going in at exactly the same time as Lawnmower Man's - I kinow that because I handed his in with mine   :( :( :(

Del

Wot he said.....

Myself, Lady Pig Pen, Princess Alex of Warsaw, The Lovely Melans and all The Brethren will be there.
An early invasion is planned with myself and Wooly looking to go over on Friday 5th and have a couple of nights in La Fleche or similar before the madness begins on Monday Morning!
Bring it on ;D

PP

Team Fran will of course be making an appearance!   :)

Dont know when/where yet.....(but will be in time for dinner Chez Barry - wherever he is!)

F

Jules G will be in attendence with the usual suspects, Big Al, Rosey, Stan, Timbo, Tim's Dad, Si.

Wednesday 10th Dover to Calais with Sea France 0645

Motors: Bmer, TVR Griffiths 500, Porker Boxster and some sort of Audi

Camping: MB

Sommer Grandstand seats

Leaving Sunday after race for a night in Rouen

Monday 15th Calais to Dover with Se France

Going as usual - probably on HA this year. Going to take a nice long time over it and stop at the French round of the World Motocross GP at Ernee (about an hour north of LM) the weekend before, then truck on down to LM for the Monday.

Team No name has expanded ,now 3 or even 4 cars, with 9 or more of us. Likely to be on BN , ACO willing.

With the way that the ACO is handing out camping tickets, Chez Barry will be on a small campsite 5 miles north of Tours.

My request went in with Termies batch, at prequal, or possibly the day before, and I have yet to hear from them.

Team Robbo will be present on HA thanks to a nice, safe ticket agency!!
Minibus booked, about 8 of us present.
01.25 Channel tunnel booked on Thursday 11th, returning Monday 15th.

Booked out on Sun 7th after the Rally show at Chatsworth with the quattro, then on to Post 32 for the week !!

I might give it a miss this year

The Flying Baguettes will be back again - 26 of us this year raring to go as usual and staying in MB. We will be happy to provide some Friday night music again as well.

Perfect! :D

I will be attending I would think...
I'm getting married two weeks before (mighty sensible given that Le-Mans will never be interupted beforehand again), but have so far got permission to take a 10 day honeymoon, and blaze down on thurs/fri.

I will be joining the Zarse group (whatever that may consist of) until the bitter end I hope.......

I do wish you would make up your mind or just let Caroline make it up for you!!

Assuming I DO manage to turn the wife then I anticipate a possible wednesday night to sunday trip or, at the worst, thursday night/friday morning til sunday.

Are the Brethren having a rave night on thursday again? Will there be a piano for me and Pyro to play on sunday evening? When are Team Zarse travelling? When are the Melans travelling? When is TeamJPC travelling? Will Mark's car be going this year?  ::)

I can answer some of that... Yes, Rave nite is happening again. Elvis will be spinning up large this time so you better get on the decks and get the tunes up there. Piano wise, I am on the case for bigger and better so you best take that van again!! It can be loaded with the tractor if its a big one!
We are going over on Friday 5th, not sure on Zarse or Melan travel plans but they are going.
Do it... you have to!! ;D remember... we know where you live >:D

Attending with the usual crew with the MGA, Lotus Elan, plus a couple of other 4-wheelers, son + mates in a Transit on his stag week, plus biker chick with Ducati, arriving from Tuesday to the Thursday.  Fingers crossed that now usual application for BN comes in.  Others returning to UK post-race, missus driving out solo on the Sunday for the pair of us to meet up near Le Mans and bog off for 2 weeks in the Pyrenees, then home.  At least that's the plan so far.   

MG Mark

The ferry company I've booked with is about to go t*ts up. :(
ACO hasn't, as yet offered me any tickets, and if they do it'll probabley be sodding BSJ. :(
My drinking partner has suggested on the forum that he might give it a miss this year. :(
ACO making up the numbers on the grid with those kids in the little cars, due to all the teams pulling out. :(

Are the omens good? No?

Who cares, I'll be there. :)

(And it's going to be hot and sunny this year!!!!) ;D 8)

Happy to report that Team Booze 'n' Tabs will be attending again for the 26th time ;D

The whole week just keeps getting better and better every year, but the ACO's distribution of tickets for the campsites is getting worse every year.  We still do not know where we will be staying, but we will find somewhere.   

Pleased to say that a return is planned this year after missing 08 in favor of the classic. Campsite is sorted but have not got as far as GS seats yet.

Hotel is also booked for the sunday night. Hoping to sort the ferry/train in the next few weeks.

2 Cars/4 people with a satelite group of 3 ner do wells in either 1 car or 1 car and a motorbike.

I just won't know until a couple of weeks before.....
The beauty is that with so many people not going, I would suspect last minute ferries and tickets won't be all that much of an issue!!

Well I'm going the ferry is booked but I'm starting to think that I might be camping on the side of the road  :( think I will park in the chinese and watch from the roof of my camper !!!!!!!!!!!

Team JPC will be going, not sure how many yet but we will be there!  :)

Likely plans will be to travel out overnight on Wednesday but nothing booked yet. May try to head home Sunday night to save taking the MOnday off work. Trying to save a couple of days to do the Petit in October!

As for my car going, if it does I hope it comes home with me this time!!!  ::)  Whether anyone will want me to drive this year could be a different matter!

Just mount some full wet tires and you'll be fine ;D

and see you at Petit :D

This thread was started in response to 'Who is not going.....'

I have agreed to compile the spreadsheet of members camping etc.

Only postings on this thread will be recorded on the spreadsheet.  If, as it appears from other threads, we will all be on BSJ, therefore no list will be needed!

Leftie

You could be sooooooo right there dude...
But if thats the only option then Pig Pen Racing will be rolling through the gates at 9am on the Monday morning in a horrible looking Vekky to claim ground in the name of the Queen. They will never beat us!! >:D

Wey Hey! Count me in (minus the tightfisted other Hombres)

You have PM Chris

Team Pretzel (well the two of us) will be attending as usual and everything is taken care of. Ferry - LD lines Pompey to Le Havre Wednesday 10th midday, returning Monday 15th, travelling in the 'Z' and hoteling it in our favourite spot. Haven't used LD before but a LOT cheaper than Brittany so thought we would give it a shot. Noticed LD prices rising rapidly since we booked late last year though.

If we were camping Saturday/Sunday, then, like the rest it seems, we would have been on BSJ. Despite always having MB in the past for the race weekend we were not even given the opportunity to wait and see if MB becomes available later. So much for the so-called magic list. I haven't bothered to confirm our campsite ticket allocation as I'm sure no-one will want to take them off my hands.

Hoping that the weather is kinder this year.

I'll be there,
Ferrys booked, out on Sunday B4 back on Monday after. only difference this year is that I am in a tent not a motor home. ;D

Having ferry dilemmas... Will update later.
PP

I will be there. Little brother has decided hes skint so he wont be but i have some promising new blood in his place. Doing the whole week this year for the 1st time aswell so it will be a new experience.

hi all...

long time i've been away.. cant get CA any more on the work computer..

any way, no fagey this year.. and i was aiming for an aston drivers suit to go with the rizzi competitione one from last year >:D

It's been a 'dilema' sort of year hasn't it?

The Pig-Pens are still undecided on ferries but will be booked by next week. The rest is to be the making of more stories of terrible behaviour and lunacy. I shall say no more until all is confirmed.
PP >:D

I'll be there for the whole week with a camper.
Still looking at options for a campsite, was thinking about Technopark but that disappeared from the ACO's list apparently.  Probably will try to get onto Bleu, but certainly not BSJ.  Is it worth to try to order grandstand tickets at the ACO, or better wait 'till Wednesday before the race and go to the Welcome centre and buy the tickets that are available (bought MB or Dunlop grandstands several times there).

Team no name now at a confirmed 7 with three cars so two men and 1 car up on last year, should fit ok on the 3 BN pitches I'm expecting anyday from the ACO!

Thats probably the 3 pitches next to the 2 that the ACO is going to let me know I've got any day now :o

well ACO let me down and I've been bumped to BSJ! ho hum....

Hello all,

Up North Crew all booked up again,  Pompey Wednesday night, early quick ferry on Thursday back on Sunday.  Going in record numbers this year as well.

Jem

Dare I mention that this year is my silver anniversary at LM, 25 visits on the run.

Team Extreme will be attending this year 7 pitches 14 people blue nord, nice . I feel like a newbie in this company this is only my 7th year  :) :) :) :)

Interesting - where did you get these from??

Del

Just tickets and my mistake just headed up as blue on receipt. ::) ::)

The SPS crew will be there. We are booked, although some have gone awol .

Its probably the last year for the SPS. Rising costs, lower fun, more plod spoiling some fun and the ACo making bloody impossible to plan ahead.

We think we maybe on BN, but then not really sure.

How it would be to roll back 5 years.

dave Davies would still owe me over a hundred notes.

Is that a hint?

You weren't there in 08 were you? Best year for ages on the fun front.

Agreed, 2008 was a cracker - was there a race on?

I heard a rumour there was

but rumours? You know, pinch of salt etcetera


there was a party, I can remember a party....

Oh yes!

There was no race while I was there...  :)

I watched something that looked remarkably like a race about an hour.  Then I bumped into the Zarses and the Melans outside the Guinness Bar and the race didn't seem that important anymore.   ::)
