I don't think so, other then going into the toilets.

Although there must be an outside tap somewhere in the base.

Hi all,

I have a map of all the car clubs, seems allot larger this year with more and more clubs, we seem to have been moved further back. Just results in a longer walk to the hangers, or being closer to land warfare, and being able to hear the when the tank display starts. :thumleft:

There is a tram that drives around all day though. :thumleft:

Tvr have the stand behind, so Scott should not be able to upset anyone this year. :oldtongue:

I know, its a bit of a surprise. :cry:

I have seen the tank demo and its further away then the map looks. I did not get covered in any dust sitting on the grass. It’s in a little dip you can just make out in the pic, they just drive round slowly and run you though the tanks. Hopefully it will not be too bad.

Figures crossed it rains the day before and it’s muddy for the tanks with no dust.

Just looked at it on google earth and its not too Bad TBH that Hill is MAHOOSIVE behind the tank area so Dont think we have too much to worry about and the car area they have given us looks more than big enough for 20 Cars :thumleft:

How are we going to lay everything out as with that many clubs around us and the marshalls being of the opinion of once your parked thats it it may be a good idea to make sure we all have a good idea of whos going where as ideally id like to keep everyone together Mk1s/Mk2s/Mk3s rather than all intermixed. Just looks more professional.

Am i trying to be too organised 8-[

Good idea putting the mks together. The rules and regs are there for a safety guide line, but if we want to move cars around in the day it should be fine. Just need to be careful like any other car show and keep it to a minimum.

We actually have about 35 mr2 coming as a few from the mr2oc are coming.
I don’t know what to say about the layout, I’m open to any ideas on how to handle that matter. It’s a shame the s2000 clubs blocking us in on the side. What time do you expect to be there?
