Have sent Alex Lacey an email today, see what comes out of that. Of course I would be interested if the infield would be closed.
As far as I know Dirk and Roy would be interested to come along too, most probably more to follow...
There is a nice pub at Syresham - Rising Sun?, Old Sun? Something like that!The King's End, the Queens Leg, I don't care. As long as they sell beer! ;D
Good morning thank you for your enquiry,
There are no infield camping facilities here at Silverstone for this meeting. The nearest camping facility is at Whittlebury and they can be contacted on 01327 858092. This site backs on the circuit and will only be a five minute walk for you.
Alternatively you can contact the local tourist board on 01280 700111 who will be happy to advise of other local places for you to stay during your visit.
If you have any further enquiries please call 08704 588 216 and one of the operators will be more than happy to assist you.
Kind regards

What a load of tosh etc. etc.
... I suggest we try to get a block booking at Whittlebury Hall. I have camped there before and it is not to much of a walk to the circuit.

Nope my contact is BRDC and the land inside the circuit is controlled by Silverstone Circuits and/or the organising club (for the weekend) hence why if you read my post I've been pointed in the direction of someone at SCL.
I appreciate I've had a bad day and I'm in a shitty mood but frankly responses like that make it quite tricky for me to pull favours on behalf of the website.
I appreciate I've had a bad day and I'm in a shitty mood but frankly responses like that make it quite tricky for me to pull favours on behalf of the website.Give it a break please. As far as I understood Rick, you and I are trying to figure out where to stay (and why NOT the infield) during the LMS weekend at Silverstone. I think we all find it very frustrating not to get what seemed so easy to get back in '05.
Sorry, I haven't read all the tosh on here ;D ;) so don't know if this is new. Has anyone tried Whittlebury (http://www.whittlebury.com/booking.html) ? This doesn't sound too bad. We should get a block booking.
... and you must be quiet by 11pm!
Good afternoon sorry for the delay in replying,
The reason why there is no interior camping facilities will be available for this event is that LMES are hiring the circuit for the event here, and we are running the event on their behalf. In regards to the camping we have not been asked by LMES to operate a public campsite for the event.
If you have any further enquiries please get in touch on 08704 588 216.
Kind regards
Angela Hall
You weren't the same vette owner who was in the Whittlebury bar on Saturday night at the GT's were you. ;)
Is the race on the Saturday, or the Sunday?
But remember, no toilet block.
Do you literally mean no toilets, or no showers?
You know how some people bought houses, and this meant that they couldn't go to LM.
Well, http://tinyurl.com/yr65le :-[
I didn't even know I was going to buy it until I caught my mouth making the offer....
I still fully intend to do Silverstone, but moving into a rented house and converting the barn might get in the way. a bit. Bloody well hope it doesn't though.
Bump!!
Having asked around a bit at LM, there is quite a bit of interest in this event.
It appears that toilet/shower facilities are a must, and as the infield is not available, that only leaves Whittlebury Hall.
I suggest that we settle for there.
I have emailed them to ask if/how we can be kept together as a group, bearing in mind that there will be a mix of campers, caravans and tents, some wanting electric hook-up.
Will let you know the result.
Del
Is everyone going on Friday?
Got this response from Whittlebury Hall:
Hello Mr Appleyard,
We are able to accommodate you all for camping over the LMES event at Silverstone. The people booking electric hook ups will not be able to camp with the others although they will not be too far away. All people booking must complete a booking form and return to us with a cheque no later than 7 days prior to the event.
Regards
Louise King
Camping Co-ordinator
I say let's go for it - there is no other practical alternative.
Booking form is here http://www.whittlebury.com/pp/uploads/Camping_Form_2007.pdf
When you fill this in, in the space for 'Event', put LMS and '(CLUB ARNAGE)' - may help to keep us together as much as possible. If Donny last year is anything to go by, the site won't exactly be full anyway.
Only hope that the party who complained about the 'Vette being fired up at 3.30am is not coming this year!
Post on here when you have made a booking - saying tent, 'van or camper - and I'll keep track of numbers.
Del
Sending off the form on Monday. Might be up to 6 of us arriving early Saturday morning in tents. Well, we'll probably arrive in cars then be in tents later. Something else to look forward too, I love it!!!!!!!
Lord, Wait untill BOB U has posted up his results as there may be a better alternative!
Whittlebury is IMHO very unlikly to sell out!

Why don't we camp at Donington and visit the race at Silverstone. At least we had a nice time there ;D

My last update on this: I have forwarded the mail -that Angela Hall has sent me a little while ago- to Sander from PlanetLeMans. He will print it out and give it to Marina from the LMS organisation over the weekend at Nürburgring. Hopefully she can tell us why Silverstone tells us to contact LMS, while Sander believes the circuit itself would be responsible for the campsite.
He doesn't believe she can resolve the problem there and then, but at least we're trying to get another step further into the infield campsite... :-\
same :)Have sent Alex Lacey an email today, see what comes out of that. Of course I would be interested if the infield would be closed.

confirmed :)
Heres hoping I can get a passout because would love to join the Silverstone party.
I need to speak to Paddy_NL about a CA flag aswell.
Wherever, I'll be getting there probably lunchtime on Friday.
Look forward to seeing you there

If tents are going to be seperated from caravans/camper vans (presumably because of electrical hookups/waste outlets etc) then I guess the communal gazebo area will need to be with you Del?
I'm meeting Bobblehat for lunch tomorrow. Although he had no joy with the BRCC, I'll ask him to reccie and other campsites nearby or maybe pubs with large gardens that might be accomodating!

I've located a few of these around the area but all state, in Camping & Caravan Club terms, "Own Sanitation Essential". ie they have no shower/toilet facilities and whilst this may not be too much a problem for the blokes, I think the ladies would object .
Del
As for own Sanitation on the other sites, hopefully a pub type site would open the pub loos?
As for own Sanitation on the other sites, hopefully a pub type site would open the pub loos?
Having stayed on many pub sites, it's a bit of a lottery. Some open the loos only during pub opening hours, others have separate access 24/24... Unless you know the pub/site, you don't know till you get their.
The one pub site near Silverstone I tried (New Inn at Abthorpe) only had a small field - not big enough to cater for the dozen or so tents/'vans or so expected.
However, if someone can find another suitable site in the area, it may be worth a try. Don't forget that it is not exactly a 'tourist' area, and there are not many sites listed in my book(s).
Del
Looking ahead a bit, I am thinking about attending the LMS event at Silverstone.
Who else is going?
What/where are the camping facilities (I'll bring the 'van)??
Del
[/quote
Looks like our team will be there, hotel saturday night for me.....dont think I can put up with any more rain :'(
I thought Paddy was selling his Camper?
I am out of the office for two weeks.
You will be able to contact me again on the 23rd of July.
Best Regards,
Although I did notice that the MGCC were succesful in getting camping arranged inside the circuit and did have two distinct areas, quiet and not so quiet! So it can be done, but I think it is all down to whoever has hired the circuit and if they have hired the whole shooting match!
Just a minor point, but this has nothing whatsover to do with the SRC (Silverstone Racing Club)! It is an issue with SCL (Silverstone Circuits Limitd) and the LMS Organisers.
Whittlebury Hall then?
I vote that we just get the thing booked - dare say we can have a good time wherever we are and there are decent facilities there.
All agree?
Steve
A 10 minute walk (max) to Copse Corner and a 5 minute walk to the local pub
Sorry, Del, if this has been covered already. Are you block booking or should we all do this individually?Whittlebury Hall then?

Well I think I'm going to come now, so Whittlebury Hall sounds OK to me. :)Nice one- looking forware to finally meeting you. Could you bring lovely pork heaven Rillette? I brought a load back and have scoffed the lot already!

There is no truth in the rumour that I decided to come once I discovered there was a pub within walking distance.hahaha .... I'm sure not (http://www.dervhead.com/xmb/images/smilies/beer.gif) ;D
What gives at the circuit on Friday - ie should I book from Thursday or Friday night?
Post on here when you have made a booking - saying tent, 'van or camper - and I'll keep track of numbers.
Paddy, just book in as a tent, I will be with the main bunch even if in the camper as I don't require electrics for the weekend. Generators are allowed on the tent field anyway.Thanks Rick. As mentioned above I booked as "Car & Caravan or Tent - Mobile Home".
BTW, we are not all sheep sh*ggers.
Any plans for Sat night yet? Pub? BBQ? Live band JPC?
Never touch a drop myself- I'm a Doctor! ;DAny plans for Sat night yet? Pub? BBQ? Live band JPC?Anything with alcohol will go, me thinks ;D
Silverstone does not have it's own transmitter. You can normally find the mobile transmitter on the old bridge over the national circuit. I would expect them to be there as every race even the 24h 2CV's had radio commentry, Globecast I believe cover all LMS events.

Nice looking lad Paddy, but where does he get that awfully bad taste in tee shirts?

Yep, from Boremouth ;)

Paddy, JDS, I'm not working this event but I'll see if I can pull any strings and get the lads a visit to race control or similar.Thanks very much! That would be great, I'm sure they'll love it.
Will one of you remind me at the time if I don't mention anything?
Wow, that would be fantastic, Anita! :o 8)
Good looking kids, JDS!
Bad news. Bad news.Bad news. Bad news. Bad news. Bad news.

Just to bump this up a bit.....I have now booked at Whittlebury. As I need electricity, I'll probably be on my lonesome :'( :'( but shouldn't be that far away from the plebs.We'll possibly be next to you, can't remember if I booked for leccy or not !!

Dear Sir,
We checked with the Silverstone race track, but unfortunately the public camping within the Silverstone circuit is not allowed and nothing can be done. For this year (and probably the next ones) the nearest campsite being offered to public is the Whittlebury Park as they told you.
It seems that this campsite is a short 5 minute walk to circuit and provides all of the facilities required to operate a campsite.
Kind regards
Cedric Vilatte

The only news I want to read is that they have had to bring the event forward by a week :(
Don't know how else to ask this; who is going to be at Silverstone / Whittlebury on the Friday afternoon by about 3 o' clock, and feels like going somewhere special (very close by)?
We might have something interesting going, but I need to know first who - and so how many - will be there by that time.
Please let me know asap. Info about what's going on only via PM, as the organiser doesn't want this to go public.
Don't worry being early, the special thingy fell through unfortunatly, too costly.Isn't spending quality time with the lovely folk of CA and DfH special enough? It'll be great- cannot wait ;D
The new arrival keeping you awake then? ;D ::)Don't worry being early, the special thingy fell through unfortunatly, too costly.Isn't spending quality time with the lovely folk of CA and DfH special enough? It'll be great- cannot wait ;D

Do tell Paddy. What am I gonna miss?
probably will only have Vergers left after a bit, as the Spyker usually drops out after two hours :-\
(assuming you're catching the ferry from Harwich)
I have to drive back to Holland that night :-\
(assuming you're catching the ferry from Harwich)
Sorry Steve, but I'm going south. Last time I went with Stena I swore myself never to go with them again. It's a lot cheaper, faster and less hassle to drive all the way down to Calais and catch the train.
I am simply not prepared to pay €430,- for an eight hour journey each way, and be obligated to take a cabin when sailing overnight (yes, those costs are extra of course).
Last year I asked for a return sailing to go to Donington LMS by camper van, and they dared to ask €760,- for a weekend return!! :o
Ufck 'm! >:(
Gear should be fine, bit more difficult to get 5 adults and 1 kid in a VW golf ;D

Well Done tho Paddy!
Yes, Whittlebury. As far as I know, the booking form heaps together "car & caravan or tent / mobile home'" in one category - hook up plots extra but somewhere else.
Here's a link to the booking form http://www.whittlebury.com/pp/uploads/Camping_Form_2007.pdf (http://www.whittlebury.com/pp/uploads/Camping_Form_2007.pdf)
Where it says "Event" put LMS etc and include the words CLUB ARNAGE.
So, who's definately going to be there then? Are we all camping at Whittlebury?

Tickets arrived this morning, including a timetable. I see there's scrutineering on the Thursday afternoon. Anybody know if it's open to the public, as per LM?
Is anyone staying Sunday night after the race? I work half way between home and Silverstone so it almost seems silly to drive home Sunday night only to backtrack back to the office on Monday morning, might as well chill out on Sunday and drive straight to work Monday morningYes.
Is anyone staying Sunday night after the race?
:'( I can't do it this year (How many times have I typed that on these forums?) :'( I do have a pink chit for LM 08 though. :)A pink chit? Are you left handed? ;D
We have about £60 worth of fireworks left over from LM. If we could find a grown up to help us let them off I will bring them down. Are they allowed without a thorough and comprehensive risk assessment? I have a hi vis jacket too!
I am not sure if we are allowed to set them of at the campsite, but we could do it just outside ;DNot allowed? Thats like a red rag to a bull! ;D ;D
Are the ladies and gentlemen of the good ship CA planning anything special for the Saturday night? Pub, BBQ, live band, fireworks, midget tossing etc. etc?Whatever happens, I'm not leaving a seven year old by himself in a tent to go off to some pub. You guys go and have fun, but I'll stay at the campsite.
Or are we just pushing the envelope of extreme drunkenness for a change?
Well, the junior JDS will be there too, so I'm sure they will find things to do too and we can guard the campsite over a beer or two ....Are the ladies and gentlemen of the good ship CA planning anything special for the Saturday night?

Ooh- PS2. Better get some practice laps around Le Sarthe then. I'll bring Grand Tourismo and we can have a fastest lap competition!
I'd be, but still have to find out if my son gets in for free. I would think so, but don't want to bet on that :-\Sure, no probs.
If he doesn't, I have to order tickets anyway. Can I come back to you?

Never mind the flags and tees I'm still waiting for a DfH lion car sticker ::)
Cool. Well would it be an idea to keep the group together and all stay on site? We can make our own entertainment- a toned down version of LM with respect for the younger brethen?
We are bringing a BBQ, meat galore, a marquee, music, a football etc. and a Freezer so there will be plenty of cold ones on site.
What do you all think?
Never mind the flags and tees I'm still waiting for a DfH lion car sticker ::)Just tell me a size and I'll bring them...
I'm not too sure how many we have left. Let me count the flags and post it here. We should have at least two left.... Anybody interested in (white) DfH'07 shirts? ;DYes please- in a rather optimistic size M ;D

Steve, I'm sure someone will lend you some heat. We might be over if you're cooking Tartilflette!
We'll be at the circuit rather than at Whittlebury but if anyone needs to borrow kit just shout, we'll be bringing the trailer so should have space and we've got quite a lot of spare kit.
Paddy, if there any CA flags left, could you give one to 'Welsh Bob' and I'll donate to server fund or something of your choice.
Already on the order books, Dr S.
Termie- could I have some lovely Rillette please?
Does anybody know how quick silverstone circuit sends out the tickets?Don't know how fast they are, but you could ring them on +44 8704 588 216 and ask...
Does anybody know how quick silverstone circuit sends out the tickets, I have not bought mine yet and I see on the website that I will have to either book a ticket for the whole event, 20 pounds, or show up an pay 15 for the saturday and 25 for the sunday?????It took them just 3 days to get from the UK to France. Not bad eh?
Event tickets will not be available for sale at the circuit selling points. I am afraid if I order my ticket know, it will get to me after the race!

Ok, tried it and it does not work with my creditcard >:( The expiry date is to far out, 2011 and it will only accept cards up to 2010.
Is it possible for any of you to order a ticket for me, so I can pay you back at the track on arrival?? If not, I will just pay the full price there. Cheers.
We'll be up there from around midday on Friday but on the Marshal's campsite, when do you guys arrive?
Presumably I can meet up with someone else on Friday to hand your ticket over and we can sort funds over the weekend?
As Paddy said, I would be glad to come over to the main gate, or anywhere else you would like to meet.

We could just try the '05-trick. Back then I picked up Sander and the rest of PLM from the press-carpark and drove straight into the Paddock. When stopped we waved some cards and said we were in some kind of hurry ;D
If RockerRiert, Knetter and I wear Spyker gear and wave the Le Mans - Friday invitation, we might get away with it and drive straight through to the Paddock again :D
Yep no problem Paddy, also I imagine Termie will be there for Friday so we can give her the ticket to take to Whittlebury to save too much faffing?I'll be arriving some time during Friday, will watch whatever track action interests me then pitch up at Whittlebury. Piglet, I'll pm you my UK mobile number and we can catch up whenever.

Update to our party, I've now been informed by 'the boss' that she and Miss JDS will be joining us too .... at least her cooking's better than mine ::)
Knetter, your ticket arrived this morning ;D
Does anyone know he Whittlebury is pre book only? Its just that I have found my completed booking form under the mountain of bills on my office desk this morning!
Newcastle Dave called yesterday to say he now has to take his own car but he isn't booked in either. Crumbs!
Does anyone know he Whittlebury is pre book only? Its just that I have found my completed booking form under the mountain of bills on my office desk this morning!Yes, you can just turn up but it will cost you an extra £5. Del

Off first thing. See you all on Friday, guys. Drive safely.

Knetter has arrived in Rotterdam, we're good to go! 8)
Have a safe trip all. Have fun and hope to see you all at some point on Sunday?

3 French class wins, including the Saleen - I came home a very happy bunny. (I think Piglet was about to disown me when I started singing the Marseillaise ;))

Aye, avoid the roadworks on the M1 at Luton.I think, but correct me if I am wrong,Car no. 16 came second!
Well, then the old pescarole still knows how to push the throttle, or he knows a quicker road from Silverstone to Dover.
Sure. But even though the traffic wasn't that bad on the M1 - we were still surprised to see Herni at the Tunnel, especially as him and crew were already sitting down as we arrived. It just looks weird to me to leave the race track that soon after achieving a podium finish.Aye, avoid the roadworks on the M1 at Luton.I think, but correct me if I am wrong,Car no. 16 came second!

Well, perhaps he should sack the drivers and put the truckies into the race cars for the next outing then, to get to Folkestone that quick was quite an achievement!Sure.

Maybe he got used to it :-\
Going back I we went down the M40 and took 1/2 an hour off the journey........so perhaps Mr.Pesky took the M40 as well.
must ensure pass out is cast iron weekend variety next year
Looked at the trip on the van this morning, silverstone and back was 548.9 miles door to door.
Was sorry to have missed you Dr S - I was looking forward to discussing the highspots and fleshpots of Fallowfield! F
I'm still sulking about missing Sat night- looks like you guys had fun! I've got gallons of Stella, 2 bottles of Baileys, and 30+ farm shop quarter pounders to get through as a result.
I'm getting fat out of spite! ;D
