They serve food from 12:00pm till 3pm.

This is where we grab a bit to eat a soft drink ( no drinks before racing )

After this we head to: http://www.gpkarting.com/gpmap.pdf

This is a detailed map of how to get there. While there will have 15 mins Practice. We are in the process of extending the Qual, and then 1.5hrs Enduro racing with driver changes.
The cost is £120 per team based on the following:

there is 2 drivers in your team.
If there is three drivers in your team, then you will need to let me know.

I do need a deposit from all Karting drivers of half the price per driver. So if you are 2 drivers per team, then I will need £30 deposit. If you are 3 drivers per team, then I will need £20 per driver.

I have emailed the people that have PM'd me as requested my contact details. If you have not PM'd me, then please do so to confirm whether you are coming, and / or you are Karting. This way I can keep everybody informed at the same time, with one easy email.

Here is a contacts details of some hotels that are close by. I am leaving it up to the person to book there own hotel room, but a few of us are aiming for the Best Western, as Breakfast is included in the price.

http://www.theaa.com/hotels/2189.html --> This seems to be best choice

There is obviously people driving from all over the UK so if you require a lift, please post here where approx you are from, and hopefully somebody will reply.

Lets keep this thread nice and tidy, and not for spamming or other info. I will only post important info here from now on.

Also another note. Yes, as I said, I have been speaking to the devs regarding this meeting, and I can say that they ARE looking into attending. So please don;t PM them, email them, or pester them. They have all the relevent details for the meeting.

If you have any questions, please don;t hesitate to contact me.

Looking forward to meeting you all

A few people have said that they are unable to send cheques, so another option is to send via Paypal. Again, please PM me if you want to take up this option.

I know this deposit thing is a pain, but this not only confirms you are coming, but also Books your Kart.

I was just trying to look up this pub, which was quite hard because you got the wrong postcode...

NN5 5HY <-- this is what it should be.

If anyone else is wondering where the pub is, you can find it by looking up the post code in streetmap.co.uk or you can see it on the zoomed in map of the location of GP Karting.

[tristancliffe]

Car Simulations, Kitchen repairs, Postcode Research...

when does this chaps talent end...


So if Scawen is good with postcodes, should we be asking Victor or Eric about telephone area codes? Or are you in charge of them too

Thanks for that Scawen, but blame the good pub guide, it was a straight cut and paste

What time is the karting booked for?

Only 17 days to go

[Fordman]

Karting starts at 3pm, but you need to be there for approx 2pm for drivers breifing, and all

fordie

[franky500]

Just so you know .. it is CONFIRMED that i will be spectating at this race with many thanks to Fordman for his offer of transport. I can also confirm that another ATC Member ATC Widdowmaker will also be making the trip to spectate and meet up.

Also is a laptop still needed? i might be able to bring one up with me.

[Fordman]

Hi All,

OK With just over 2wks to go, everbody knows what happening? No, well let me fill you in.

Some people are meeting early. Me personally, will not get to the event until around Lunchtime, as I am picking 3J and Franky500 up from the airport.

I think, SC and V and the Cyberseat guys are getting there around lunchtime also. For those that are karting, you need to be there for approx 2pm, for drivers briefing etc etc ready to start at 3pm. If you don't have a driving partner, then you can choose one of the day.

After then event, trophies will be awared and presented to you by SC and V. Cyberseat will be there through out the day for those that are coming along to spectate and meet fellow LFS drivers.

I hope you all ( that are staying ) have now booked your rooms, if not , then well good luck in finding one

Then its back to the Thomas Beckit Pub for a few drinks and a re-cap of the days events, and also a chat with the Devs, SC and V.

I would just like to thank, SC and V for attending, and also V for getting the Cyberseat to come. and well, to everybody that is coming.

Lets hope for an enjoyable and rememberable weekend.

Regards

Fordie

[ayrton senna 87]

yes please franky!

if we could upload the footage at the end of the day and burn a few DVDs for the editors and some others

also, me and tristan will be having a drag race, tristan in his little MX5, and me in my kart, so would TAA be so kind as to sit in tristans passenger seat and record?

[the_angry_angel]

Yeah, no problem; As long as you dont kill me I'm happy with it I can also provide 2, possibly 3, fast hosts for video of the day as well

Just a quick question to all - are we meeting outside, at the pub, or in the centre? If so, when are most people arriving, and how will we know that "that bunch of people" is the right bunch?

[Fordman]

Look for LFS T-shirts and the long hair freaky people

[Victor]

sounds like i should get a haircut before coming over

Scaw - you too

[nikimere]

man wish i had of known about all this earlier
maybe next year
