[thewave]

news?

Who'll be going too?

[deevlash]

Ill be going, if we ever find out where it is or if its even happening

[Prof Beard]

I'd like to go - if anyone ever says when and where!

[tim the pool man]

Would have liked to make it this year but it's getting a bit late to confirm dates for a trip to England.

Same here

Some official word of any plans would be interesting

[randlemarcus]

Given it was the seed of the disillusion with Haymarket, does anyone truly think it will happen again?

Why don't we just organise our own? How difficult can it possibly be? Plenty of people seem to make it to Le Mans, and that doesn't get organised by PH does it? We wouldn't even need to worry about things like ferries with PF. Unless we make the mistake of going to Norfolk again. In which case we might need a ferry to get back.

See my post up a ways.

Well volunteered, that man.

All we need is a field near an off-licence, a distinct lack of American security guards with short man syndrome and a small French car to serve as a urinal. Does it really take much more than that?

Of course, I would under normal circumstances be more than happy to step forward and help with the organisation, but given that we've just had a third baby, I'm too knackered to think straight. Plus I know absolutely nobody who owns a field.

Wasn't someone posting a thread about what to do with their field recently? I think I just found the answer!

ETA: Here it is! Would an acre in Kent be sufficient, do we think?

'PH does the Britcar 24hrs'

[Prof Beard]

Can I suggest that SOMEONE associated with the running of PH as a "business" actually RESPONDS to this thread?

Indeed. If only to say "actually, we're not doing one this year folks" and settle it once and for all.

This includes me asking the question, and Garlick saying "no plans at the moment, wait until summer".

I would've thought waiting until summer to plan an event for which you ideally want summer weather is leaving it a little late, so I suggest we take Charlie up on his kind offer of organising an unofficial PF08 at the Britcar 24Hr.

Well done Vixpy! That's what being a PHer is really about!

I think thats called a hospital pass

[Balmoral Green]

I would be up for an un-official PF, as long as it's in the summer and somewhere pleasant.

If there does turn out to be an official PF, announced in the summer, for somewhere cold and windy in the autumn, they can consider themselves sidelined.

Not too far south for me though

[Mattt]

Gorvid spoke of trying to organise something on the beach near him, with hog roast etc. Quite far for Deevlash etc to drive, but it is a car event

+1! (lame I know but I'm agreeing.) No worries, I'll wait till summer to find out if I'm travelling half way around the world at a moment's notice to attend :rollfkingeyes:

By "quite far" you mean the other side of the planet! There be dragons down there
