Hi
Hope this doesn't break protocol here.

The Lotus 7 Club have a large section of Camping Blue South reserved each year, there is probably space for 150 cars and camping adjacent.

With the state of the Euro etc etc there are some places free, this is NOT run for profit, but if there are any groups/individuals looking to join us the club try and run a slick operation with some catering/ food/ hot showers/ chilled beer fridges though not the beer/ large satellite tv/ marquees/ live band/ phone charging/ hot showers/ security/ right next to the fun on Mad Friday/ hot showers/ entry tickets etc, did I mention the hot showers for £300ish each

If you want more details contact memsec@lotus7club.com

I am writing this not as one of the organisers, just someone who has taken his son down for the last 3 years and had a blast, feeling despondent that there are not enough takers to make the trip viable at the moment, just seen here http://www.blatchat.com/t.asp?Id=160254 it is now open to others so come on down, booking form http://www.lotussevenclub.com/WhatsOn/BookingEntry...

Cheers for looking

Although I am a club member, I have other arrangements for LM each year as I started going before I bought the 7. I think that the L7C trip requires each vehicle (whether or not a 7) to have a club member as driver/ passenger. I agree it does look good value at around £300 per head but there are restrictions on availability.

edited to add that I had not heard that the take up was so low, I hope that the trip still goes ahead.

No requirement to be a member now, I think there is just a one off charge of £10.
Price is £275 each or £310 including grandstand tickets, plus the £10 above.

Same as James. I'm a L7C member, but I started going down a few years before joining the club. About 10 of us in total, we camp in KN.

Hope they get enough people together though.

Well seems as if the organisers are changing the format

Now £300 per car up to 4 people, entry tickets on top

Facilities copied and pasted below;

A pitch to camp on (tents not provided)
Gas BBQs which you are free to use
Tea & coffee available throughout the trip
Live band/disco on the Friday evening
Marquee to shelter in from the sun
Private electric hot showers
Security teams to watch our camp site whilst some of you sleep
Power to charge your electrical items
Chilled beer via the club chillers (beer not provided)
Satellite TV on a huge rear projection screen (subject to availability)
2 X BBQs cooked by club members on Friday & Sunday

Hope this gets more bookings as it's getting late to book elsewhere.
