I have already posted this on another site and it seems there is good interest. The mairie (town hall) at Mulsanne want to start a meeting on the Friday and the idea is to come and go as you please, meet people, perhaps eat at a bar down the road who is laying on a bbq. it would seem that most people are going as usual to St. Saturnin and that the majority will be turning up in the afternoon. The roads will be closed off and parking reserved in the town square for the english invasion. I need to get an idea of numbers so if interested I suggest you use your screen name and the car you will be coming in. Then the next person can cut and paste and add his name and car and so on. Might be useful if this became a sticky from an admin point of view too.
This is completely unknown territory being the first time they have tried to do this but if there is a good response then it can only get better once they get into their stride.

Sounds like a great plan. Any idea of timings?
I had planned to go into town but want to see if I can combine the two.

The idea is that it will run all day but again it depends on the response. Just come and go as you please really. I have a meeting with the deputy mayor next week to discuss further. I shall be helping out at St. Saturnin until 3pm and will be there afterwards.

I've been following this on pistonheads , but didnt think our 3 cars need any privileged parking so were just going to park up and walk.
I think we would be doing the pitwalk then a tour up the Mulsanne past the restaurant a look around then head to centreville mulsanne.
Arrival time ~ 13:00 ish.

Probably depend on whether we are sober enough to drive/ride up there. Don't think the S-Max will qualify for town square parking, but we can squeeze the Yammie in right next to the bar.  Time will tell. |

This is completely unknown territory being the first time they have tried to do this ... They had a bit of a classic car display last year - not sure if it was the Friday? The cars were all French reg IIRC. ps - just read the thread on PH: the flics were closing the public road at Arnage corner early (8ish) on Friday morning last year. I suspect this was to stop too much silliness. But cycling around (e.g. down to Mulsanne or up to MB) was no problem. So if you are taking the Raleigh Chopper to Mulsanne as opposed to the 356C then getting back on the track is n problem (or wasn't last year!) |

That's a definite additional stage on the way back from St Sat.
Will have to be early pm for us so we can get home to meet and greet the 'weekenders'.
Oh, and to answer the original question, there will be 4 of us.

Quite possibly Garyfrogeye in the Frogeye my brain still hurts but is this instead of St Sat Gary? I suppose it's far too much to expect Termie to set us up again this year  I have a morbid fear of the flics stopping me getting home to BN this time I never parked anywhere but the Leafy Pastures before bill |

The town hall is offering a free beer to all who turn up but I shall be at St. Sat all morning and the start of the afternoon. The idea is not to compete but to complement each other. The idea amongst Pistonheads and Club Arnage is to meet people you've never put a face to before. It is just a meet, nothing special but the town hall hope you'll turn up in numbers. |
