The Surrey TVRCC region will be over there again, as well as DustyC's massive.

Main tip is to find a TVR friendly who will stake out some space for you, as people grab as much land as they want where they want and put a fence around it, so if you know someone who arrives early, start buying them beer now.

Maison Blanche is certainly superb! How many are in your group? I only ask because MB is on a first come first served basis, it might be worth getting some space taped off for you if you are arriving Thursday?

I always thought he was a bit camp - must be all that mulberry.

Rob/Corin, who is coming from The Club? I thought they had all backed out (as Wyatt seemed to intimate)and it was just us Outlaws and Bandito's (Mexicans to you) going?

John, If you want a decent spot then probably yes, we got there at 11pm Wednesday night and arrived at a spot pitched off for us by Surrey TVRCC, and we filled that!

You will find a space no doubt, it depends where you want to be??

Push comes to shove we could always sort something out for you I'm sure, we usually pitch in the middle, you get a good look at everything going on from there and it's mostly TVRs.

Yes Ian, our group are going from Plymouth, leaving Tuesday night and returning the following Monday, it works out well as you only need to take four days off work.

You are more than welcome to join us if you wish?

I'm undecided yet as I live in Poole and am supposed to be going on Poole-Cherbourg. However my friends are in Blue and I'm in MB so it would be good to camp near fellow PH/TVR owners for a bit more atmosphere.

Ian, one of our group has a Bleu camping pass and wants to swap for MB if that helps?

If not you are more than welcome to join us, just let me know and we'll provide a space for you.

Nope, got home last night and received a booking form from the Car Club stating that they have reserved me everything i needed, despite the fact that i was told I was about 13th on the waiting list.

hey said that they would call if anything became available. In the event, they just sent me out a confirmation and charged my card.

happy days

Unfortunately, it looks unlikely I'll be able to persuade the Maison Blanche people in my group to swap to Blue and visa versa.

I guess I'll be moonlighting as a D&C TVRCC member. I'll be there on Wednesday and will discuss meeting arrangements nearer the time (once ferries have been arranged).
