If anyone is interested in camping for the Moto GP the weekend on 20th/21st/22nd June, please email me via my profile, by next Wednesday (for initiall numbers!).

I just need numbers of potentially interested parties - no need for definate numbers yet.

Please let me know in your email :-

Your PH Id, your email address and the number of people and any children coming (as this will be per person per night event).


To give you a rough idea of cost - less than a night at the cinema each (I hope) To include pitch, beer tent hire, and our own latrines & showers (which we will hire)

EVERYTHING else you will have to bring/pay for yourselves - entry to the GP, food, beer etc....

Some of us are just camping and not bothering to go watch the GP, so your stuff will be safe left onsite

Typical, after i already booked campsite/GP tickets a few weeks ago...

Whereabouts will the site be?

[ali_kat]

Hopefully, here

Real Ph'ers go to MotoGP at the Sachenring and camp with 300000 crazy Germans where they still think Iron Maiden is hip and setting fire to a Suzuki GSX is a nightly sport

Now how the hell did I miss this? Email on its way.

Cheers.

Or go to MotoGP at Mugello

Where bonkers mad Italians take over the Tuscan hills to race scooters for 3 days . . .

Mental it was, loved it . .

There is a perimeter road round Mugello that is a constant flow of scooters with open zorsts. Hand held leaf blowers with mega phone zorsta are common place and the sheer noise of the placeid deafening, until the grid forms, then 2 minutes before the off you could hear a pin drop, phenomenal . .

No stupid bloody airhorns like the crowds in the UK insist on . . I remember the first year of the 990's . . We'd been waiting weeks to hear them, stood up of from Dunlo bridge and as they field comes round the first time, 6 lads with air horns stood in front of us and deafened us .. . . wrs . . . what really got me was they were wearing ear plugs !!!! For god's sake !!!

Assen this year for the MotoGP. Camping with the mad dutch and 30k UK . . .. Can't wait

So far, we have around 38 people interested, some with children

I would stress that this is NOT a PH organised event, this is merely going to be a group of friends & families meeting up for and camping, and watching the Moto GP.

We have a fixed £5 per person cost for the camping Then we have a variable (at present £50 each), for toilets (essential), showers (essential) & marquee (beer tent/rain avoidance) hire, because this is back to basics in a field folks

So, if you stop both nights it will cost you £60 each, just Saturday night £55 each.

If we get more people, this will come down.

Please can you email me to confirm DEFINATE interest, and what nights, so I can work out exact figures?

I need emails so I can mail out the details for deposits etc, so I can book stuff.

Cheers

Sorry, but having seen the distance between the circuit and the site I'm going to stick with the onsite camping I've already bought from Donington.

[Chilli]

Ali,

Can I ask a couple of mates?

Cheers.

[ali_kat]

Please do - the more come, the better (& cheaper)

[Glade]

I've just ordered my weekend ticket and on-site camping.

Have booked Monday off work too. Can't wait!

Just need to figure out how many crates to take

[ali_kat]

I need confirmations now please folks

A - which nights (Fri & Sat?)
B - how many people
C - PH ID

Please can you email me so i can get everyone in one email list? By Friday.

Once I know how many, I can tell you exact costs And the final details

Many thanks
Alison

Okies

I mailed everyone that had mailed me last week and asked them to let me know by Friday what they wanted to do about showers/toilets etc, as was getting expensive.

Those (few) that have replied, have voted for no toilets and no showers.

So the cost of this event will be - £5 per person per night, paid to the lady on the gate as you arrive.

Wetwipes are a wonderful invention, I suggest you bring them with you, or learn to dance naked in the rain

Directions and map will be sent out nearer the time, please email me via here to let me know of your interest so I can send them to you.

Apologies now - my (new!) laptop is now broken - it 'fell' off the table (fvcking kittens) and has to go back to the manufacturer to replace the hard drive (10-14 working days). Which means, I have no emails to refer to (I use Outlook to collect them), nor my list of email addresses and people that wanted to come.........

Soooo........

We are going here, as recommended by Balmoral Green and Jagdpanther a few pages back

Hill Farm,
Moor Lane,
Barrow-on-Trent

Facilities are minimal though, only one loo and basin, shower. Wholly inadequate for sure

But then, those of you that responded to my email re showers & toilets voted to go without and use WetWipes

I will get any new emails (from today) as will be stored on Yahoo, but all my history is gone until I get my laptop back , so any questions please ask here or mail me

Sorry!!
