Last year they started to mark out pitches on the Monday prior to the race, I expect a repeat

Yes I remember that Paddy, just wondering with this zoning
pantomine about to start ,are they going to be a bit more
prepared, but then again we are talking about the French
so I have probably answered my own question

Anyone know if the other sites will be marked? On Bleu Sud zone A and worried about not getting a spot when we get there on Thursday afternoon.

Ian, it appears some organisation has crept in as Termie reported last night the individual entry tickets are being scanned, no more contremarques. Does this mean the end of more than one person using the ticket at a time?

Thanks "Pam", I am still intrigued as to how they will organise the zoning business.

Me too - it's going to go one of two ways on Monday - (a) vast queues at the gate whilst they check that each group is going to the correct zone... or....(b) open the gates and run for the hills  perhaps with a bit of walking round and checking like they have done in the past for space and pools. My money is on (b) - I think (a) will cause traffic chaos!

My money is (C), which is (a) + (b)! At the start they will have all the correct officials, especially for the known trouble makers spots, like MB. Everything will be done correctly, to begin with, (a), once the novelty has worn off/heat exhaustion and general Galic laissez-faire, then condition (b) will prevail.  Anyway, what do I know

(like they did the last two years  )

In that case, lets all have a letter/note to the ACO (for those who visit us on Thursday) stating that we've been on this pitch for "X" amount of years (counter signed by our neighbours) telling them that We Pay the Bills & this is what we expect! Bloody French farmers/lorry drivers do it all the time AND get their way!!!!It's all going Pete Tong. Ian LB, Skinner Tours talking here !!!!
