Clamps may be an option. Or we could just work out a rota for CA members to continueously stimulate you. A cold beer should work!!  |

Guys. I know this thread is for our "campsite",however I see the question of ice has appeared yet again.
Our laddo "Fat Boy" has said that for next year he will bring an ice maker and also a portable chiller which he reckons he will (I was going to say "erect"on site),but I think" put up" in this case is better....if you know what I mean.
So we could have ice and cool storage for the weekend for anybody who wants to keep"Kool".

Gilles,
Sounds good - would be very interested in 4-5 camping places if the facilities are good and the price is right.

I need an official position and engagement of CA officials, before to start any negociation. The global cost of the campsite with the facilities requires 300 camping passes at 100 euros or 600 passes at 50 euros each a,d I'm pretty not sure we're able to book so much camping tickets !!!  |

I'm pretty sure you will not be able to find 300 buyers here at that price.
The problem with the CA campsite idea (even in Maison Blanche) is that many of the people who might be interested will not appear on the forum until much nearer the time. So you can't get enough commitment early enough.
You see, about next March/April some of the regulars will come back to see if their camping is all sorted out for them.
Also despite the fact that many people here are good"virtual" friends, they probably have preferred campsites which they have been using for many years, and would not necessarily want to go somewhere else. That obviously won't prevent CA get-togethers, but again means that there are not enough interested parties to sell the volumes you need, Gilles.
I requested 300 MB tickets based on peoples responses soon after the race, but with hindsight I would think I'd have difficulty getting rid of that many. However, I am still awaiting an answer from the ACO when they decide what (if any) we can have.

Smokie , I would love to have MB spaces and i know lots of people who dont post here but would buy them .
I put MB down as my first choise , then Bleu . As its a top spot for me. I agree that i probably wouldnt change unless the new site was nearer than MB or Bleu .
If you get the MB spaces i would have 4 now and pay cash. But i dont reckon they will do it.

Maybe we should visit them mob-handed in November and persuade them...

OK Let down for 2004  Maybe we can have an hospitality tent in the village... ... which price are CA members able to pay to have a private tent with hospitality and a buffet (I may obtain a good view along the track for this CA extra ticket) ? |

Dependent on th location of this campsite I would imagine that it could be sold via the other car clubs. One might even be able to persuade one or more of the UK based tour operators to take space in it.
In fact if one could do that they could provide a star guest for the rest of us to hear!
Personally I suspect most people wpuld want to investigate the campsite location first, but that of course defeatss the purpose!

I did visit it, with Gilles and Grand Fromage, who took a few snaps.
To get the site:
Go out of Maison Blanche and turn left towards the crossroads (now a roundabout). At the crossroads, turn left to go under the track (as though you are going to Beasejour). Carry on under the track, a short while after going under the bridge the field is on the right.
My own opinion, honestly, and not wanting to upset Gilles etc...
1) It would be a bit of a trek to get anywhere
2) Most people already know where they like camping, and also have already booked their tickets for 2004
3) It may be too expensive anyway, compared to ACO camping - but ACO has definitely gone up this year
4) We would probably not manage to get the number of people required to fill it and make it economically viable
On the plus side:
1) Gilles reckoned electricity, toilets/showers and all kinds of things (hospitality tents, minibus service to various places etc) might be possible
2) For those who do NOT have camping booked, it would be a godsend
3) You'd be camping with your mates from the CA website (or is that a negative??)
Anyway, I think Dave was going to post some of the pics, although the field is, at the mpment, just like a jungle. It's a good size btw, and although the road is usually inaccessible during the race, Gilles said that passes to get in and out wouldn't be a problem.
You can probably tell that I am sceptical about the idea. The rest of my group have very little to do with CA and go to see the race rather than socialise, and I really think the location would not be acceptable to them, compared to the convenience of Maison Blanche which they are used to. However, if it went ahead, I would do my best to persuade them to try it out.
Let's wait to see what Grand Fromage has to say...
