Castle Combe

[esprit22]

Crikey there must be loads staying over. I tried loads of places and they're all either booked up or cost more than a set of tyres for a single night.

Managed to get a room at the Bell House Hotel in Chippenham in the end. Booking line is 0845 45 66 399 if anyone's interested.

Dont know why hotels/inns are busy. I planned for all us guys to stay at the White Hart at Ford as rooms are normally in abundance when booking this early. Guess that The Manor has a lot of rooms/suites available, unless Bazza has reserved the Whole hotel just for him and his Mrs!!!

[Kimbers]

My turn to miss the boat this year then. But it does look like many are staying in different places. How easy is it going to be for all of us to get together the night before?

This is where I stayed 2 years ago. Must check availability before you lot get booked in their 10 haunted rooms.

I hate you all. Which Bugger took the last room this afternoon?

I'll be there all booked with Club Lotus. Where is the best place to stay Sat night? anyone going from Kidderminster area?

[Backmarker]

I always stop at The Crown when riding at Castle Combe. Find 'em on the location page at www.motorcyclefolly.co.uk or try here http://www.crown-at-giddeahall.co.uk/

Good food, excellent beer, good carpark (useful for trailers carrying bikes), olde worlde rooms and about 10 mins from the circuit.

Ideal.

[Guest Troy Halliday]

Yep I'll be there hopefully with Penny and the misses depends if we can get a sitter for the little man (Aaron) only Caroline refuses to put him in the boot. Not sure what the problem is I carpeted it for god sake

[esprit350]

roof rack?

[Guest Troy Halliday]

Just asked the little guy if he wanted to go on a roofrack on the Esprit, his answer ".....yeh, Great!" Now lets see if the word of a 4 year old and my word (all be it mentally four years old adult) can twist her arm.

[bigsi]

im gonna bring kelly to this one with me, cammys having a day with his nanny so kelly can come with me.

[Simon350S]

Not sure if I can make it.....

Would be good as I quite like the circuit, used to know someone who knew someone and we got season tickets to go see whatever we wanted, good place to get a tan.....

Diary is well full at the moment, if I can squeeze it in I will but cant promise anything.....

[andydclements]

I have a favour to ask, if anybody from Norwich / Norfolk could oblige.

I've bought some Lotus mags form a guy in Wales, he would prefer colection from the Lotus event.

could anybody pick them up from him, and I'll pop round and pick them up from somebody locally?
