LMS Silverstone

Do you literally mean no toilets, or no showers?   

Neither toilets nor showers.

If this site is the only option, I could bring a porta potty and toilet tent.  Plus, of course, I have a toilet in the 'van.

I do need electricity of some sort, and would be quite happy to go to a site with no hookup if there were a generator handy.

Whittlebury Hall would be OK except for the rather stringent rules.  Rick -  how bad are they??  Sounded rather severe from your earlier post.

We stayed at Whittlebury Hall gain this year for the FIA GT's and had no problem. We were still rolling around drunk in the paddock bar well after official closing time. The Spanish laddie who was working behind the bar was a good laugh and he had a good laugh at us when we turned up the next morning wanting bacon butties and when they arrived going a good shade of green.

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.

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.

I've stayed at Whittlebury Hall in 05, it wasn't that bad, we were still drinking and farting at 0300.

I'm intending doing the Classic in July at SCL staying at WH, but the LMS may pose a problems for me because the previous weekend I'm racing big boats in the Little Britian Challenge.  IT AINT ANYTHING TO DO WITH BEING THE ONLY GAY IN THE VILLAGE! It's a huge charity event by the Construction Industry.

But, if 'erindorz' gives me another 'out-pass' I'll be on my way.

I'm good to go, green lights from here at home! Go with the flow as for campsite, as it stands now we'll be with Pieter, Knetter, Swans and maybe my son too (different story). Please keep us updated on campsite stuff...

[Lazy B'stard]

We're there too- myself plus 6. Just don't tell er- indoors;-)

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.

Ok, Well I will book.

I will be in a camper or the car with a tent. At the moment the camper is for sale but I don't have time to advertise it properly. I will not need electric hookup either way. Did they say if we will get our own field or will be with all the others?

Bring your walking boots or wellies.

Is everyone going on Friday?

Friday 6ish for me

[Paddy_NL]

probably (& hopefully) Friday before dark...

[DelBoy]

Hold off on booking for the moment - just found another possibility.  Contacted one behind a pub, but they only have a small area and couldn't take us, but gave me the number of another site - waiting for them to ring back.
