FCS camping
This place has go-karting and appears to have larger fields

Personally I think you need to look at the ones that are just massive fields
bloke said they dont mind drinking and a bit of noise, had loads of car clubs camp their over the years but yeah, im with ya.
just trying to get what people have said they want. will look at others, (got a couple in mind).

You paying are you?

It does look like a nice site but dum dum makes a valid point. I do think it's worth bearing in mind but if someone finds another one that is practically a field, we should also consider that. Will be cheaper as well!

Well no...but they may do a bulk price if we get a few of us!

be nice to meet ya and the rest of the crew. went to fcs last year on my own but didnt really speak to as many people as i would have liked. im a little shy round people i dont know. dont get me wrong, i aint boring by any means (you will see this when we all meet).

anyways, women says disount if booked on line for a start, just need to know that people are coming (hopefully at least 30) so i have got grounds to haggle.
will see what she says when i ring over the week end.

the camp site is use to a bit of noise anyway as its used for when download is on.

bloke says dont mind drunken behavore, just dont start reving your engines at 3 in the morning and doing doughnuts on his lawn. understanderble i think. Big Grin

It goes against all my principles but I'm actually looking forward to this! Smile Will chat to Paul (Moonstone) over the weekend to see if we can fix the date in the diaries...

Am I correct in thinking that Pugfest is only about 3 weeks after this???

Right,

I'm going to put this in this thread for now as probs best to keep camping talk all in the same place...

I have been in discussion with club-306 for the last few days (I'm an active member there to) trying to possibly organize a group camping event, its something ive been trying to organize for years, but not had success due to the whole ".net trouble" that was caused a few years ago....

Now I've explained the situation to them as to what is going on here etc, and who we are, and they are more than prepared to take my word that we are a responsible bunch of people (which we are...) and willing to give a group camping thing a go.... Now I think this would be a great opportunity to bring the clubs together, as I've been to FCS with both forums, and both know how to have a good evening, and just seems silly having to make the "choice" for members across both forums, when we would all get on well together anyway....

Now it would seem that neither forum has as of yet, come to a final decision on a camping venue, but they share my / our (I think) view that we would prefer to camp off site, to avoid the noise / possible trouble of other clubs, and I think in general keeping it more low key and just the 306 guys at the camping is better anyway..... So the first step is to sort out where we want to camp, and they will do the same, and I will then refer etc and come to a final decision...

So really need views on this, and if people are keen, or if people are not, but I for one certainly am, and think it would only increase the win factor of an already win evening/s camping....

Ive already said to them, that I for sure, and quite liklely Mark (?, need to speak to him) would be more than happy to organize some bbq refreshments again, and im happy to extend the orders across both boards....

Thoughts? Discuss?

And can we get all suggestions for off site camping in please in a list form so we can get a poll up and decide on something....if your bord please try to take the time to have a look around online at possible places etc!

Scott has mentioned food to me and I'm happy to do as we did last year, your more than welcome to advertise mine over there or what ever if we camp together, as long as I know what i need to bring with enough time to sort it out then its not a problem Smile

Personally I would be quite happy to go along with whatever but what your saying makes sense to me.

Sounds like a good idea, as I know a few of us are members on both! And it's always good to build bridges with other clubs!

I'm the same as Darren, been chatting to one of the mods over on club-306 and I said about joint club camping ad he was like if they won't cause trouble he doesn't see a problem. I explained how good this club was and the type of members it has and I think they are willing I join up if you are...

Group camping could be a good idea. Not a fan of the club 306 forum but I'm sure all the people there are just the same as us! Also means more chance of a discount on camping, more banter etc etc

If its us and .com there deffo no chance of .net, as its that forum that caused trouble, and given most of us come from there, there isnt really much need as you could just go with them if you wanted to....

Might not be the best of ideas tbh. I know there's no "beef" between us a d them now but once people have a few drinks, banter might start getting a bit worse and I think there are a select few that might start to turn things a bit nasty.

I think we should keep it between club 306 and 306oc personally! May work well for advertising both clubs! And we ar eboth sharing the same parade lap...

Tbh.. the issue club-306 had with net. The people that caused it are long gone and the other members that were there well 99% of them are gone anyways.

And the fact that the technically all members here are from net i still posts on all the forums i dont see what the problem is apart from the "name"

All we are is a group of people camping and share the same interest in the same vechicle..

I know where that place is! Didn't even realize they did camping! Looks good to me depending on where they make everyone else camp 'cause it's pretty close to Donnington. Close to local shops etc, Melbourne, Ashby etc etc and some good roads for a bit of fun in the morning Big Grin

so does it get the thumbs up then from everyone? 306oc or 306oc and .com.
i dont really know what cracked off between the clubs so carnt have a say really. i personaly think it will be good for both clubs to camp together.
how many would we be looking at to camp if both clubs team up? maybe we can hire the whole feild.

I'd try and avoid including .net, as people have said, although were all fwends again, things could get interesting if anyone decided to fall out, and we don't want the weekend spoilt.

As for club-306, I don't know, so I won't make a judgement, but from what people are saying, I can't see any issues
