Le Mans Meet 2012 Bounty campsite

[FARP]

Would like to drop into the Bounty Campsite on Friday for a pie & pint this year has a list been posted any where for those attending or have I just missed it.

[eddie man]

Yes good point. When will this be shown on the forum? The meeting for the Classic event is up there, and that comes after. Roll on Pie & Pint at the Bounty, great event last year. Come on get it sorted PH!!

Looking forward to real food and good location, last year was good this year can only be better, so many cars and middle of nowhere nobody to get annoyed with enthusiastic driving

[Stuart]

We're working on the detail of this in the background. Expect an announcement soon.

EDIT

I have removed my post...........we are still friends.

As Stuart said we will be hosting the 24 Hour Friday Classic meet and all forum memebers old and new are welcome to drop in anytime over the race event weekends.

I was at that meet this year - very well organised it was too.

Will swing by the Bounty again this year.

There'll be an announcement in the next few days. We had a great time at Le Bounty and would recommend it to any PHers, but as ever we're the victim of our own size and the venue we're looking at offers us the space we need much closer to the circuit itself.

However we are doing a meet at Le Bounty for Classic Le Mans, so we're all still friends!

I'd absolutely wish to stress on behalf of me and John at Bounty that we are still friends (and always were and always will be). We understand that the growing popularity of the PH meet creates difficulty regarding venue selection. We take great pride in our venue and giving an excellent service. The numbers being suggested for the 24 meet this year would be very challenging for us and so there is perhaps some inevitability in the event finding pastures new. We wish PH well with the 2012 meet.

We were delighted to host the LM 24 meet last year and to have the opportunity to show off our venue and what we are capable of. Once more, we will pull out all the stops for a good LM Classic Friday meet this year too.

PH members are of course more than welcome to pay us a visit during the LM 24 week or the Classic week.... the Full english brekkies, the London Pride, the Steak and Ale pies will be there as usual!

best wishes to all for a great Le Mans and Classic....
Steve.

What is happening? How many cars are attending the Pistonheads 24hrs event anyway. Is there a list yet? It's getting closer and closer now.

[Stuart]

We're just finalising a couple of last minute details and we'll be making an announcement soon.

I tried to find the Bounty last year after the CBW but failed miserably. I almost turned in the Mulsanne meet so knew I was in the right area. Might just nip in for a pint and a pie during the week as I've never seen the place before.

Thought it was a shame it moved from mulsanne. Quite good location. Didn't think it had out grown it and had more scope for improvement.

It was more to do with the local officials in Mulsanne not particularly wanting the meet IIRC.

[johnhere]

All are welcome to pop in over race weekends and have a look round the venue enjoy a pint or have a meal.
The easiest way of finding us is once you are in Mulsanne keep on the main road leading out towards Tours the D338.
Go straight on at the roundabouts and I think its after the 2nd one about 300 yards on the left you will see a left turn with with an island in the middle of the road and a large sign Le Bounty on the left corner.
Bounty is 150 yards down on the left

EDIT
For all of you with Sat Navs
The post code is 72220 if you type in 72220 Teloché, France on Google Maps you will see it will not take you to Le Bounty as its an area postcode.
Le Bounty is the blue area (the lakes) just down a little and off the D338

Just worked out where you are. I thought you were off to the right but just realised you're on the left so no wonder I missed you. Reckon I'll nip in for a pie and a pint at some point, probably after the CBW.

[eddie man]

Here look some clear indications, and an understanding of the space available at The Bounty.

Consider entering the old name for the place of 'Etanges des cheres'

Ok, so I'm going to The Classic, so not really relevant here, but still no main race Friday meeting???

Somehow it just don't feel right...

[eddie man]

NEXT FEW DAYS !!! Nearly 2wks have passed, still nothing. What's happening? If it ain't broke why fix it. Time running out. I think more or less everyone will be meet at The Bounty, surely.
