Lotus Festival Brands Hatch 23-25 August 2013

[mitreklov]

I'm a Sunday guy with a ticket as well, on the list just need a pass if possible.
Happy to meet up on Sunday morning, would prefer a 9 - 9:30am start but happy to go with the flow.

The other car passes arrived today. My exhaust may be ready but I suggest it would be worth me sending the 7 passes to someone on the Sunday list. Any volunteers?

[Steve A]

If we arrive in numbers
it will be far easier getting in.

So we'll all make the effort to get there when the gates open so nobody has to hang around

[GeoffSmith]

Is there anywhere to meet up? Thistle Hotel?

I don't mind as long as they get to me on time, I'll be at the gates as they open so set your alarms nice and early,
be there or be on the south bank

[Steve A]

OK send them to Trev

[Peter D]

Is there anywhere to meet up? Thistle Hotel?

Works for me, as I booked a room for Saturday night at Thistle
And I'll be early (Trevor helped me out on the coolant issue), as my boat docks at 06:30 in Dover.
Getting off the ferry and driving to Brands, my guess is I'll be arriving 07:45 - 08:00 ish...

[GeoffSmith]

My back box is hanging very low and is held up by cable ties at the minute. I don't want to have a last minute problem and end up with all the passes in Bristol, so I'll send them to Trevor first thing tomorrow.

PS What's your surname Trevor?

This does happen when you get to a certain age! Don't worry Geoff, my back box is the same!

[TrevorB]

My suggestion for the Sunday group. On the approach road to the Main Gate of Brands Hatch, just past Thistle Hotel
is a small layby (have a look on google maps/earth), if we meet there at 0800 on Sunday morning the passes can be
distributed then.
I also have a spare ticket if anyone still needs one?

Hope that suites all?

Oh stop it you. My USB endoscope arrived today and MY back box isn't quite as low as I thought it was!

Anyway, moving idly back on topic....
1 Saturday/Sunday ticket and 1 car pass with me
4 Saturday/Sunday tickets and 6 car passes were sent to lotusnut this morning
3 car passes to be sent to Trevor for the Sunday School (Trevor, Steve and Tim) to fight over
4 car passes which I'd prefer to send to someone just in case. As Stef and Shaun should be there on Friday, could one of you send me your address?

1 - Stef
2 - Alan e
3 - Chipp (Going for both days but will be on EALC for one day, don't mind which one.)
4 - BDC Peter (arriving Saturday a.m. for the weekend)
5 - there's only on f in Geof Smith
6 - Lotus Tony Basepplayer

[GeoffSmith]

....so I have to find a good stainless welder......

I don't know a good one, but i know someone who can have a go

Thanks for the offer Dave but I've dumped them on our contractor at work who should be able to MIG them for me tonight.

[lotusnut]

O.K Saturday guys. I will be in the layby that Trevor has identified near the Thistle hotel about 8am, I will wait for 15-20 minutes then go to LEC stand. Anybody arriving and I'm not there ring me on 07947108287 and I will walk back to the gate to meet you. For those who don't know me, I will be wearing one of RIP's LEC tee shirts (blue). Hope this makes sense, see u Sat. I should have 5 car passes plus 4 Sat/Sun tickets as in Geoff's post.

Sounds good Trevor I'm up for meeting around 8:00 (yawn) at the lay-by next to the Thistle hotel on Sunday.
Just in case the approach road is a little busy or we can't stop there would a good back up meeting point be the in Thistle Hotel car park? Just a thought.

Shall I PM you my mobile just in case the plan changes on the day?

[woody]

Anyone got a couple of spare tickets for Sunday ?
I can call & collect on Saturday if any availiable.
Cheers,
Woody

[lotusnut]

as far as I can see, the entrance tickets that Geoff sent me are surplus to requirements, I know Lansledj wants 2 for Sunday, so I would assume that Woody can have the other two, I also have 4 Saturday tickets. The car passes he sent are all spoken for. If I have got this wrong can someone let me know?

[G UK]

OK, I'll be heading down tomorrow afternoon although my arrival time very much depends on the traffic.

I have no idea what is happening with the car passes and unfortunately I have posted a little to late to be much help, I can only apologise for that.

As far as I can see we seem to have the following:

Friday-Sunday (Camping)
G UK
Stef
Shaun

Saturday - Sunday (Not Camping)
BDC Peter
there's only on f in Geof Smith (Has 5 Car Pass)
Lotus Tony Baseplayer
Paul69
Chipp
Alan E

Saturday Only
Lotusnut (Has 6 Car Passes)
Simon_p

Sunday Only
TrevorB (Has 3 Car Passes)
Steve A
Mitreklov
Woody?
Lansledj?

If Geoff hasn't managed to get the passes out to Stef or Shaun I will try and have a word with someone on Friday when I arrive and explain the situation in the hopes we can sort it out. The worst case is that as the Friday contingent have SELOC camping tickets they will let us through to the SELOC camping area on Friday and then one of us will need to come out to collect passes on Saturday morning from Merv or Geoff.
