Any thoughts on the letter today about "Zoning" the sites?
I do notice that the "prime" spot for early arrivals in MB (Autosport Bus, Popemobile, Drinking for Holland, etc) is not even marked as usable!

Bit difficult without a scanner for the plan... I have the MB plan. Basically it has been divided in to 5 areas - A nearest the entrance/External toilet block (road side) B in the same end - but the circuit side C in the middle - road side D next to that E next to the Porsche Curves exit - but the section alongside the straight from the Porsche Curves is not "zoned" Need to decide in which area you want to be, and return a slip nominating 1st 2nd and 3rd choices before Dec 15th They say I "benefited from a 35m square pitch this year", I'm guessing that is what they are averaging it as - although as I sold my camping ticket this year, I wonder if the person I sold it too had an extra large area?!  Any requests made after 15th Dec have no choice - whatever you get given. |

Paddy, if I get a letter (which I hope I will), I will send you a copy. If not, I will try phoning them. Not many days' grace, are there?

Looks like we have to go for the place where the artic was this year (where we tried to be in '05), the non-allocated zone near the Golden Triangle. The faxmachine will show it's importance again as soon as the letter comes in. The guys who volunteered for the Sunday at the gate will be crucial, if we get that allocation that is  |

Sorry - the "unallocated area" isn't an option - it's just not mentioned You only have the choice of ABCDE  |

What is the bet that they move the grassy areas over to the fence if we opt for the usual spot!
Is there any mention on Pitch sizes? I certainly hope we do not need all 10 of the allocation!! Here's hoping!

I will scan it into an e-mail Paddy, assuming I am successful. Bad news for big parties, better for those who have to arrive late and so often find there's no room, I guess - but they should jolly well get here earlier! |

Last year the ACO stated 35 square metres per camping pass on its website, same of all campsites except Houx which has marked pitches, but I didn't see that this was really enforced. Anyway, that seems to be the rule and I guess they calculate the amount of passes they sell for each site according to that ratio Explains why late comers sometimes get turned away even if the have a pass for a specific campsite  |

According to ACO today the pitches won't be marked out for another year or two. For now it's an area allocation only it would appear. At least I think that's the gist of it. Unfortunately my French and her English weren't 100% in synch!

WHAT!!!! Can someone explain what this is about? Zoning and MB? Does the fact that I don't appear to have got anything give me some indication about the fate of my application which I sent in May  |
