For those who may be interested Lotus will be showing their coming range of cars along with the classic Elise GT1 plus.
A fantastic weekend of entertainment promised, including racing from the Elise Trophy and Lotus Cup UK, on track demonstrations from Classic Team Lotus, and a world record attempt for the most cars on track from a single marquee.

Hi All, sorry I've not been on here for a while, not been well.

Stef/Lansledj, nice one in sorting the camping with Burt, as G UK said, we saved a space last year but sounds like we'll need a bigger space this time around :-)
The firepit sounds perfect, huddling around a disposable BBQ last year was a bit ineffective! Do you want me to bring firewood?

Got some more camping stuff from MissElan's parents this weekend so things we are now bringing:

1 x Windbreak
1 x Double-burner camping stove
1 x Portable Camping Stove
2 x Kettles
1 x Set of BBQ Tools
12 x Hard Plastic plates
12 x Hard Plastic cups
1 x Frying Pan
1 x Saucepan
40 Tea Bags
1 x Bottle Ketckup
1 x Bottle Brown Sauce
1 bag Sugar
2 litres Milk
Vodka
24 cans Red Bull (well, Lidl's replica Red Bull...oh and diet at that!)

Jeepers Shaun, looks like you will be doing the catering then! Got a kitchen sink?... :poke:

Yep, firewood will be required. If people can bring wood and or coals for the fire pit we will be able to ging gang goolie into the early hours and keep warm! :-D

Excited now!

Has any body checked that you can have a fire pit before you all go carting half a tree to the site?
It may not have bothered them in previous years as they were going to dig the place up for the new track but they may well have landscaped the area now.
