RE: [doc] Le Mans

I don't mind doing some organising if you like, I have been to France on
many occasions and can hold a reasonable negotiation in French.

I suggest that we need to organise it fairly quickly, looks like the better
campsites tend to book up fairly quickly.

Chris P, when is the next mailshot going out?  It would be good if we could
have a provisional proposal and cost by then so that we can ensure all
members are invited.

Hi All,
Ok, There is a lot of interest in doing a Le Mans Trip. These 
Key points have come back.

1, The trip is club organised I.E. we book it all ourselves and don't 
use a travel company. This should keep the cost down and we can
choose where we go, what we do, ferry times etc. (Thanks Rich, 
Martin's proposal seconded LOL) 

2, We Camp. This makes sense for several reasons. 
The most major of which is the dates of the race  
18th -19th of June  are not confirmed yet.
This means if we booked a Hotel and the dates changed we 
could find that we are stuck with the rooms.
 Also we would spend a lot of valuable drinking time :-)driving
back and forth to the track.
Again this is the less costly option, although dependent on beer/wine 
consumed ......

I think camping could be great fun especially if there is a large
number of us going. I.e. DOC base camp, large DOC flag, 
DMC logo beer can wall etc. 

3, If we do a overnight stop on the way it has been suggested
that we stop in a hotel in Calais as its cheaper.

4, Don't be afraid in driving the car on the other side off the road.
I have taken my D to the South of France and it was a lot easier to
drive, than a right hooker.

5, We meet up with the European clubs, great idea.

Preliminary plan would be to Leave UK on Thursday 16th June and 
return on Monday 20th .
It appears that outside practice and race hours we can drive around a 
lot of the circuit, Cool!
How does this sound? 
 
Regards
Nick H
