Yup, Ricks been a bit shite with his translation.  Click the little Union Flag and you get 'Stock Exhausted', 'Sold Out' etc.

Looks like we'll all be in Beausejour Annexe in a couple of years

The old ticker missed a couple of beats there

I see Arnage campsite is available, good site, access to the track, lots of flat well shaded space.  Maybe Camp Club Arnage could form there?

I'm not too negative on that at the moment. It looks like a better alternative than Bleu Nord

I Agree, close to the village of Arnage, if all of CA is located there it will be a massive party

NO Click on each campsite and it tells you what they really mean:-

AND only 29 euros a pitch. Let's buy the bloody lot!

I tend to agree but the website will only let me book one ticket, are there any standpipes there?

Well that's what it says on the website, only order 1 ticket.

I am sorry but I get the feeling that people are panicking for no apparent reason.
There are not suddenly 100.000 more visitors to Le Mans 2008 nor are there suddenly 100.000 more people that want to camp this year.

Things will pan out, sure DFH and others need a bit more -adjoining- space than others, but I am pretty sure that that can be found somewhere if MB proves to be impossible.

Why not wait untill all who have booked early, with the help of Termie, receive an allocation and then act to ensure there's a place on whatever campsite to have a great party Fridaynight and an enjoyable stay for DFH and friends?

[Steve Pyro]

Very sensible words Bas

Sorry Bas, but it appears suddenly there are about 20.000 less camping pitches on places we'd like to be

I hope you can apreciate things all change suddenly for DfH. We'd like to arrange security, cancel scaffolding, rethink campsite plan, refigure nearly everything. There's NOTHING on Blue, so we have to arrange water, showers, the lot. Hell, I'm even thinking about bringing bogs! Stupid ACO!

I'd rather be safe than sorry, so that means I have to act now rather than the end of the month, or whenever the ACO can be bothered to inform everyone about their (re-)allocation.





Sensible words maybe, for those who only have to pack their SCE

That just means they are sold out, the campsites where the stock is exhausted do not show this ferme/closed sign.

By the way, who was on bleu nord last year, give us a headsup about bogs and showers, are there any? And if so, how many? There is some confusion as to the availabilty of these creature comforts!

I feel I have to agree with Paddy, We Need several pitches together. We plan for almost a year for this event and the ACO think we are fine being tossed around like this! I have cancelled my membership with the ACO and am seriously expecting not to be at Le Mans this year.
