FCS camping
#91
o.k. so i now know what im looking for. what im going to do is to stick with the origanal site just for a minute. it has all what people want and more. and for what mattcheese has said about a convoy in then i think i have that covered as well.
basicly the camp site is about 3 miles from m1 juntion 23. so what i thought is we could use the servisers as a meeting point for other members and then convoy to the track from their. do like kind of a full circle. about 5 or 6 miles round.
got tomorrow off work so will go up and take photos and see what kind of discount is avalible.
basicly i think its a great camp site with shops not to far away, melbourn is about 2 miles away whitch is a village with a few pubs and shops, you get the idea.
see what people think and if not i will start looking at other sites.

it's ok mate you got it back or someone did anyway . . . . . . . . .Smile . . . . . . . .only thing was it was punctured when it came back . Sad . . .lol

they have got about 8 lots of bogs, 4 lots of showers.
spoke to the grounds man and he said they dont allow dickheads reving engines all night and doing doughnuts everywhere so that means no saxo chavs then.
dont mind bbqs but no bonfires. :nope:
just need to get discount sorted but first i need to know how many peeps are going.
hotel and bar in the same grounds.
tell me what you think and if its no good then i will look somewhere eles or unless carlos comes up with owt. :dance:
the pics you can see is just one of the feilds they have. they have another next to the one in pic.
the gate and wall you can see is the race track so thats how close it is.
as for the convoy then that can be sorted to with a meet point at sevicers at j23 and do a round trip to the track. (not sure which entrance they will use but not a problem)
you have castle donnington 2 min drive with a couple of pubs and shops. also have melbourn 2 minute drive that has more pubs, chippies, indian and shops.

Looking good to me, cheers for going and taking a look and getting photos! Plenty of space to be far enough away that we won't need to worry about waking up people in the hotel and we be up and about until the early hours.

Just gotta work on the prices now Wink I think someone suggested asking about getting a price per car rather than per person?

Also as you mentioned about people revving their engines all night, we won't be having any of that (including you Ed!) and anyone who starts f*cking about and doing things that are likely to get us in trouble with the hotel owners/other clubs/police/etc. will be kindly told to leave immediately. We are a new club and it's important to make sure that we build ourselves a good reputation.

Tbh is a open fire really a good idea around a load of pissed up people? Lol. The campsite I stay at every year doesnt allow open fires but we just use a metal roofing bucket on bricks. Does the job!

Heyyyy! That was mostly you. and Jimmy. I did nothing ninja

But seriously, I'll have my serious-forum-business hat on that night, not the Rave-TOGS, so no revving will occur. Tbh I didn't enjoy last years nearly as much as I would've if I'd drunk less alcohol, more water, eaten more, and slept more! So lessons will be learnt!!!

Well if Curt's camping meets are anything to go by (and they will be, it's the same/similar crowd) it's going to be a great weekend.

TBH that camp site looks a bit posh, you gotta bear in mind that although were sensible for a car club were hooligans compared to most campers and sods law says well end up next to the 90 year old bat who thinks going to bed at 8pm is a late night and would get anoyed by the noise of a mouse far less 30 of us having lolz after a few beers.


Personally I think you need to look at the ones that are just massive fields

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!
