Hi Alan
The link is an email address - I have sent car and my details by email referencing the LEC club stand - there was no other page.
Is that normal - I am new to this

Sorry my fault use this link http://www.thruxtonracing.co.uk/hpod-lotus-elan-central then go down the page until you see display ticket click on that and add your info.

Fuel hit shouldn’t be too bad as I’ll have the car in the Albury Heath, Surrey Hills at our son’s place for the summer.
Looking forward to putting some faces to a lot of names, I’ll bring my Mark Hughes book for him to sign assuming he comes along.

ALL OTHER MEETINGS
For meetings other than those listed above, camping is Free of Charge. There are toilets/water supply available (permanent building at Allard Corner and Campbell/Cobb/Segrave Complex).

For anyone that may want to make a weekend of it and wants to camp this is the info from the Thruxton site but i would contact them to check first.

I have done as you suggested, and contacted them.....

..... there are NO camping facilities available for the weekend of "our" event - but the helpful lady has sent me a list of local B&B type places (which are pretty much as per the list on the Thruxton website.

Google tells me that it is a 195 mile, 3hr 45 drive for me......

...... I would prefer NOT to have to leave home at 0500 to get there for setting up, so *may* look at staying local.

That said, I also don't want to be billy-no-mates for Saturday/Sunday evening, so is anyone else planning to stop over for one (or both) nights?

If so, have you booked anything, or not? B&B? Hotel? Campsite?

[alan e]

Date I don't mind staying in a hotel on Saturday night but I don't do camping I have had a look and the hatchet Inn is £85 for Saturday night and it's only 4 miles from Thruxton

[alan e]

I have checked and The Hatchet Inn seems to have some rooms spare for Saturday night

[dapinky]

The Hatchet is only showing a family room available for the Saturday night, at £105......

..... Booking.com shows The White Horse (0.7 miles from Thruxton) at £75, but no breakfast.....

I'm off to the IOW tomorrow for the weekend, so will pick this up next week when I'm home. (But you can do some more digging if you want to!).

Less then a week to go if you have not already done it tb10 and rip will need to print out your tickets I have been told that the gates will be open from 9am the weather forecast is good for Sunday fingers crossed it stays that way

[MPx]

FWIW, John from Hendy posted this on TLF in response to questions from Keith

Hi Exeterjeep,

The showground will open at 8.30 for display cars to arrive and get settled, have some breakfast etc before the show opens to the public at 10.00am. Once the public are ‘in’ we’d prefer minimal vehicle movements, but you’re free to arrive and leave as you please.

The Exeter and Poole team will be joining us on the day, as will an Emira from Hethel, accompanied by ‘Mr Lotus’ Scott Walker.

I believe the first Paul Swift stunt show (which is epic if you haven’t seen his work before) is at 10.30am so well worth being in by then!

I was told 9am over the phone but let's go for 8.30gives us more time to take the piss out of each other.

I have booked on the TLF stand. Hope to meet a few other M100 owners around.

Anyone starting near Exeter on Sunday am. Will probably meet with another TLF'er at Exeter services - not sure what time yet.

John Hendy Eastleigh also said .
Plus we club stands from LDC and Club Lotus, so there’s going to be plenty of Lotus there!

Anyone want to make a convoy down from J25 M25 ?

I had forgotten all about this. I have other things going on (none bad) & I can't do everything, so I'll give this a miss.
Hopefully the weather will remain good for it.

Now I'm confused! Can't we print our own tickets, particularly if rip isn't coming so it all falls on tb10... and Hendy have always published Gates Open 08:30.

Further to my last post .. I just searched my emails for "Hendy" and found I was emailed by return (11th April for me) with "Your Ticket" - "Please bring a copy of this ticket on the day."

So mine is now printed ... only problem is whilst cleaning up the rear window in the hood of my M100 I found the sewing had rotted and "zzzzztt" = no window in hood. Hand sewing it back is a long tedious project, on hold in this heat. So I'll be coming in the Evora with aircon on Full Cool. Carol at Hendy tells me that won't be a problem ..

I think that's called make do and mend

Not unless the M25 goes tits up on the southern section,(it's a 50/50 gamble at the best of times, so with all those Sunday drivers )

But surely you'll be driving over there and back with the hood down Phil

Hood up and no windows might be the coolest option ... I bet it flaps at speed though. Won't be very secure overnight at the hotel I've booked though... and the Evora is much less effort .. but you know that..
