Snetterton 12th/13th March Pit Crew and spectator numbers?

[G]

Unfortunately I've missed the testing on Friday; there was a few spaces left when I first called, but they were all gone by the time I actually had money .

So I will be getting to Snetterton on Friday Afternoon/Evening. I may try and make it for mid-late afternoon so there's some sun light left to set stuff up etc.


A few people have shown interest in helping out. Hopefully I should be able to get three people in for free on Saturday (I don't know if I can get three different people on Sunday), this should be in addition to those coming on Sunday.

I don't have much space in the van, but if anyone does want to come on Friday night, then I can probably offer a mattress and an oil-filled radiator for a tent. Doubt I'll be able to run the generator all night, but they stay hot for a while... a tent may actually be warmer than my bigger, uninsulated metal and fibreglass van .

When I sort them out (and a scheme for the bike) a free t-shirt or similar item of clothing for anyone stupid nice enough to turn up on Friday night or get there stupidly early Friday morning .
While I hope there won't be any problems, if there's any problems with scrutineering then it may be the time I most need help.


A few people have shown interest already. What dates/times are people able to make it?
If I'm lucky I may be able to blag a few extra free passes, so if I can get an idea of who is looking to be attending, I'll see what I can do.

[Bendy]

Will be coming to spectate anyway.

Can come up Friday evening after work / silly hours Sat if you're desperate enough for pit crew that you want a mechanical fuckwit such as myself helping out.

[swaffs]

I'm going to have to play it by ear, so don 't want to commit myself.
got a few things on and it's too early to confirm/cancel.

I will do my best to get there as much as possible.

I haven't got race times, these will depend on how the other races go I presume.

My first practice is at 10pm each day.

I can reccomend a local B&B if anyone's interested; they have a 'bunk room' that's cheaper as well as normal rooms that are done out nicely.

However it may well be booked out by now.

[Kickstart]

Hi

Presume you mean 10am for the practice, otherwise you had better put the lights back on.

If you have a recommended B&B or 2 then that would be appreciated. Currently thinking about both myself and Charlotte wandering along, probably early Saturday and going home Sunday evening.

All the best

Keith

I'm gonna be there on the saturday to spectate and provide mechanical help if required, but I'm disappointed by the fact that I can't make it the whole weekend.

Sorry.

I might be able to do a weekend later in the year though!

I'm looking at hiring a caravan if people are interested in sharing a bit of the cost?

A 6 berth caravan will be £129.50 for four days. We should be able to fit more than 6 people in that, if we can fit a mattress or two on the floor. Also a gas canister at £15.75 would mean no need to run the genny 'till the last minute to keep radiators hot, as well as hot water/food/shower etc.

So far I've only found one confirmed place that will do it; and that's in Reading rather than Norfolk Unfortunately, however the price is the same for a 6 berth as a 2 berth, though this price is for a slightly older one, the newer ones are an extra £60 or so. Also, the two bunk beds are supposed to be for people under 10 stone . I'm sure we could work it out one way or another.


People that are coming so far:
Me : Friday afternoon - Sunday
Bendy : offered to attend from Friday night
Jay ?
Goose : offered to attend from Friday night
Luke: friday / Saturday / Sunday
Cassy: friday / Saturday / Sunday
Keith : Saturday / Sunday
Charlote : Saturday / Sunday
Mark : Saturday
Ste : Saturday
Swaffs?
Robby : Saturday
Wave : Sometime
Dusty : Saturday Probably
Laura : Saturday Probably


If those that aren't sure, can get here on the Friday you should definitely not have to pay entry fees. I will see what I can do for the rest, but will probably only be able to get three at most in over the two days. If we have a caravan it's not going to cost any more for people to sleep in it an extra night . Entry fees are £12 per person.

[Wave2k]

i might pop up and say hello and touch you all

[G]

So far for a caravan I have:

Me
Bendy
Jay
Goose (I presume)
Luke?
Cassy?

Anyone else wanting a space?

I'm sure we can fit an extra mattress or two in the caravan, and I'm sure there will still be room for a matteress in the van as well.

[Wave2k]

Worst case; the front of the van will be free I reckon .

I'm hoping for a contribution for use of the caravan, presuming I'm going to get one; this is supposed to be racing on the cheap . If everyone chips in £15 a'piece should do it; pretty reasonable for two days accomadation 10 seconds walk away from a race track .

However, if I'm feeling kind I may provide free food .
So, any requests for food?

[jay12329]

BBQ? Maybe propper food out one night?
J

[G]

I was thinking something like bacon butties for breakfast. Sandwhiches or maybe hot dogs/burgers for lunch and something half decent for evening meal. Sure a BBQ could be involved somewhere though... or I could just use 'george' .

Anyone need to know how to get there?

[Luke_Retrofly]

Hi
Oi why there still ? marks next to mine and cassy's names

Its like our mini BDB

unfortunately Saturday is still looking busy, so I might aim to leave early Sunday morning, Or I may drive up Saturday evening with a boot full of beer !!!!!!

I'l be fine sleeping in the scenic if I do.and might have space in the front of the car if required.

Either way I'l be there Sunday for phots.

Some things to remember:

I'm told it shouldn't be a problem getting in on the practice day or evening, as they don't usually ask for tickets.
However, no guarentees, so don't expect to get in for free, do hope to though.

Remember to bring lots of warm bedding! Even in a caravan, it's not going to be that warm; well may not be, depending on what heaters they have etc.

I'm looking to get two caravans as quite a few people are turning up. No guarentees, but hopefully it can be done.

If you want to bring beer or other alcohol, feel free, I won't be as I don't want to be drinking. There is a bar onsite that I expect will be open .

If you want hot drinks, also you'll need to bring a kettle and appropriate drinking stuff.

Might help if people can bring their own plates as well, though I'll try and sort something out.

Feel free to mention anything else you think you/others should remember.


Seeing that I'll hopefully getting use of a free caravan, probably wanting a bit more for use of them maybe £20 or a tad more, as diesel etc is going to be higher, never mind getting some beer for the bloke lending us the caravan .

[Kickstart]

Hi

We have booked into the B&B you mentioned.

Warmer......

All the best
