I'd actually go and visit that Pub

I might go after scrutineering on Monday - hint hint!

:)
Will be struggling on the Monday to set up the encampment for the lazy bastards that arrive later in the week but Tuesday looks like a pub day.  ;)

Priorities, priorities!

The encampment will still be there on Tuesday, but scrutineering will be over.....

There will be no encampment if we don't set it up ourselves, so unless you've a place to accomadate 4 Dutch guys we're damned. We might pull an all-nighter though if Hansy is up for it.  ;D

Thanks Fran  ;)  but seriously if we collect our camping gear near Pontlieu on Monday we might venture over to scruteneering and have a beer at said establishment.

Can't blame a guy for trying and a proper pint is a good start of the Le Mans week.

Well if you do get there before Wen, we want a full report on the establishment!

And do let Phil (hansy69) you are open to bribes and free beer  ;D

Happy to oblige 
LOL - I didnt mean I wanted it stopped... its good to see someone with a bit of enthusiasm for their pub!!
Same here but I'd rather have they contacted Smokey or whomever and suggest "hey can I promote my pub on your BB and in return I'll do something for your members or donate an amount in the CA-fund" than just shamelessly plug their pub.

If someone would do that I'd actually go and visit that Pub hint...hint  ;)

Ok guys, here we go......

As I have been slapped on the wrist here by Bas, I will let all my staff know that if any member of CLUB ARNAGE come into the bar and tell them they want the "SHAMELESS PLUG OFFER", they can buy two pints of our BULLDOG BEER and get one free!  ;D ;D ;D What d'ya reckon?

If you guys come Monday night we have a pub quiz from 20h00 and my arm could be twisted if you wanted to stay a little longer after 2am. If you decide to come Tuesday night, we have a guitar hero night and again, if you wanted to stop longer after, it might be possible, as long as there is not hundreds of you turning up!!  :P

That's very generous of you Phil, seems my big mouth got me a free beer for once.  ;)

I might take you up on that offer if the rain is very heavy on Monday otherwise we'll be collecting our camping gear stored in and around Le Mans and build our temporary home for the week.

Anyway thanks for the kind offer and I'll surely stop by next week.

Congratulations on that P2 win, Tim! Fantastic to see #41 circulating pretty much like clockwork although I imagine you had your moments!

Q. What was Tim Greaves’ first job?
Nope - methinks you were wilfully misleading us in your answer to that one, but thanks for the miniatures!

Agreed!

It was good to hear our national anthem being played at LM.
