I'll be down for this - much better way to be up with the lark than motoring down early Sun morning ....
Wouldn't miss the BBQ either :occasion5:

Hi count me in.
Looks like I will be with some mates and my son this year. He has wanted to come for the last few years and now he is 11 I think he can come.
Feedback from this month club meet sounds like I wont be alone. I will be in a tent but some of our other members may want the soft option.

Don't worry - I'll sit you behind my Targa's new big bore rear muffler at the trackside standard 1m test distance & 45 deg - soon sort you out - just 97.5 db at idle! :coffee:

We will orgainse transport from this hotel (only) to the Party when we have an idea of numbers. They are quoting us £75 for a double room including breakfast call 01926 425522 and ask for reservstions and quote POR for our discounted rate.

However if you book on line early http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/925 ... tid=177846
You can get a family room without brekkie for £60 and a double for £52 and eat at the BHC when you get there.

Other nearby economy accomodation is Welcome Break on the M40 rooms from £40 including family.
Crikey you lot were quick, all the family rooms that were available have already been booked. :o
I've reserved 25 double rooms at the Holiday Inn that are ours until 01/07/08.

Warwick services on the M40 have family rooms from £40
Travelodge at Leamington Spa 10 miles away have family rooms £70.
Travelodge at Rugby Dunchurch 16 miles away have family rooms £29 online saver deal no refunds.

Jen and I will be down for the party as well as the main day. I don’t think we’ll be alone either, there was talk at the Scottish region club night on Wednesday …

Argos have got some cheap tents in their clearance section, for those who have thought about camping or are off to Le Mans this summer.

Looking at the chat, Camping will be the way to attend. (more time for drinks :drunken: and less to the taxis).
Will persuad the missus and follow Rob & Rachel up from the south.
Hope to confirm two more over the weekend

Halfrauds are doing a deal on a family tent, £100 for 4 person tent, 4 sleeping bags, 2 double airbeds and 2 lights....I think Rob is going to buy it so we'll defo be camping. "Rob, where is the ensuite?". :lol:

Richard, hopefully we can encourage some others from our region too. I'm sure that Derek and Keith must be going. It would be good to get a little convoy together.
I like it here...I think I'll stay!
