I've cleaned this thread a little. If people have problems with the arrangements please PM me with your concerns and I'll be happy to discuss things with you, but please let's keep this thread clean to help people find important information.
Camping has been extremely difficult to organise this year due to the change of location (if it was same as last year we would have been fine back at the same site), and due to shorter time constraints, and larger numbers. There are not many campsites in the area, let alone ones which are able to cater for such a large group of people, and an even smaller number still who are willing to offer the site to a car club. Jamie, Kerry and Niall have done a great job finding and organising a place for us to go. The downside of the site is that there is not enough parking on-site for everyone to park, though there are other parking spaces nearby, so you will be able to unload your tent and camping gear then drive just one road away and park.
The majority of people voted for camping to be done separate to FCS so that's what we have done. We tried to arrange our own space at FCS for the club to camp together, however there were not enough pitches to do so, and as they are operating entirely on a first-come first-serve basis, some of you who could not afford tickets until the end of the month would not have been able to camp with us at all and would be having to find a campsite or hotel on their own. At least with the club, you are not prevented from camping with us. Only parking is limited.
As mentioned, if you have problems with this, please PM me rather than posting in this thread.
