Group plans & chat for Classic LeMans 2016

Post by hot66 »

Time for a new thread where I can let you know any group plans / info and for general pre CLM 2016 chat and questions :)

As a rule we don't organise much for when at Classic LeMans .. its the kind of event where you do your own thing / go with the flow.

But I think it would be good to have a couple of things where we can all get together . So the plans will be to have another group meet & photo opportunity on the Mulsanne ... BIG change on this one .. we will have to organise this for Thursday evening as the roads are shut from early on Friday as for the 1st time ever the parade laps are starting at 8:30 am !!!

Additionally we will have a central socialising area in the campsite .. basically a few empty camping pitches which I hope we can put some gazebos up and have somewhere everyone can sit etc

If anyone is willing to bring a gazebo please let us know. I think we'll be able to get 3 or 4 gazebos together on the space ...



Thursday 7th July

afternoon - most people turning up & pitching at the campsite

18.00 - DDK mass meet & photo opportunity @ the 2nd chicane on the Mulsanne ( michelin chicane )

We might have the offer of borrowing some extra shelters from Brian too .... Also hoping he can bring some large disposable barbecues for the Thursday night

Will confirm all once Brian gets the 24hr out of the way

I didn't Russ. I picked it up out of the trash pile and it covered my lad's Mini outside for whilst it had the welding done :)
The winter storms eventually tore it to pieces after about 9 months.
