Ok, who is going, who's bringing what, how much alcohol is required? Just thought it should get organised as there's only just over a week to go (yay!)

This one is going to be a biggy as far as 10 Tenths goes... big party on the campsite on Saturday night - everyone invited! Bring beer and food and be prepared for a laugh!

To anyone who's not camped before, it's about time you started! Huge fun!! It might not be able to match Le Mans, but let's get in training for next year and give it a go, eh ?

Seeya there folks!

You can count me out. I'm finished with racing now, I seem to have acquired a website to look after instead

Sounds good, im free that weekend too.

Where abouts do u camp ? is it near Coppice entrance ?
do u camp next to your car or on a seperate patch ?

I have a tent, but ive never used it yet.

How much does it cost to camp, and are there toilets and showers etc?

All I know is, I need a tent from somewhere. Fancy sharing Bella?

BRING IN THE BOOOOOZE!!!

SL · 19 Jun 2001, 23:54

OK count me in at the moment.

Assume drive to Donny Sat to arive early Afternoon.

Perhaps if we agreed who was bringing what food we could avoid bringing to much ?? Booze should be up to each person to BYO.

I will bring bacon & bread.

WANTED - one large tent
will pay for rental in beer.

mfan, before you go sharing a tent with me, you should know i snore, and talk in my sleep (sadly, it's nothing interesting. once i woke up reciting my address...).

any last minute confessions before committing yourself?

wo-hoo! can't wait!

Minardi fan · 20 Jun 2001, 09:57

Bella dear, I think you already know most of my confessions...

Minardi fan · 20 Jun 2001, 10:00

What do we do about camping space? Do we have to book or something?

WoodyTJ · 20 Jun 2001, 17:33

He he - if you don't know already I am going on my holidays on Friday. Luckly I will be back just in time for Donington. Can someone (Craig) please le me know where and when you will all be. Where do we camp and do we need to book in advance?

Woody

p.s. do we get to meet woodyracing at long last? cool

Not 100% sure where camping will be... it used to be around the back of the circuit on the road out to Starkey's Viewing Area, but it was closed as a F&M precaution and the camping was moved alongside the museum. Either way, it's free, simply roll up and pitch your tent... I think everyone's got my mobile number, so just bell me if you can't find the party...! Donington is always great as far as camping goes, cos they really don't care what you get up to or how much noise you make, so a good laugh is guaranteed...!

I have a spare small tent... apparently it's for three people, but i'm sure you'd have to be doing something illegal to get three people in... two at a squash. Seeing as bella and MF are after a place to sleep, they can use this if they're nice to me and promise to behave in it...!

Everyone should aim to get there as early as possible on the Saturday as the paddock on practice day is surprisingly relaxed and you can getto meet and chat with all the drivers pretty easily. We'll also get the chance to pitch the tents and have a beer or two before camping.

Spoonerboro should bring his catering gear, and we should supply the food. I like SL's idea of bringing your own beer and sharing the food... do we need to make a shopping list ?
