How far is the Family Camping Area from the Locost stand? I was hoping to bring my 5 year old son along but also to spend the evenings talking like we did last year. If those of us no bringing our roadsters have to camp elsewhere I won't be able to get my son to sleep nearby so I can keep an eye on him unless I can squeeze into the locost stand somewhere.

Hi Adrian

The Locost stand is provided by the Locost car club & as far as I know it has nothing to do with Locostbuilders site.

I dare say that many of the Locost Car Club membership are also members of Locost builders.

The Locost Car Club have been kind enough to provide space on their area to accomodate Haynes Roadster builders & their cars :cool: :)

Hi Ash I will be a day visitor both days SHMBO says she wants to stay around birmingham to do a bit of shoping.So happy days

Yes I believe the Locost car Club is closed to new members .

At Soneleigh last year, Chris Gibbs did explain the reasons as to why the club had been closed to new members & very sound they were too :)

I believe that the Locost stand has been booked as a block booking & that booking still has a year or two left.

Chris hopes that once the Locost booking expires, Haynes will provide the funding for the next block booking. :cool:

Should it ever become the Haynes Roadster stand .... One would hope that the Roadster builders will return the favour & share the facilitys with some of the great Locost lads :) :)

Welcome Snake,

We really are going to need name badges at Stoneleigh.

I am the ginger haired one with a little pink patch on my arm (long story all better now)

Enjoy and ask away.

Cheers Ginge

Just added myself to the list for Sat & Sun.
See you all then.

I think we need some organisation sorted.

There's not going enough space for everyone to camp on the Locost club stand, does everyone agree that those with Roadsters should have priority?

We need to sort out how we can camp together on the camp site, otherwise we're going to be seperated, which won't be as much fun.

It was mentioned that we might have a communal BBQ on the Sunday night, the easiest way is for everyone to bring their own food. Does anyone have a biggish BBQ that they could bring or a gazebo?

All ideas greatfully received :D

Cheers

Chris :)

Booked our tickets yesterday. We have a 7 metre bright red and black Iveco minibus converted into a motorhome with a 4 metre awning on the side and a gas griddle that plugs into the side of the van in the awning:D Although its not huge but can cope if everyone brings their own food (I'll tell SWMBO later:D ). We should be arriving mid afternoon on the Saturday and we can happily be a centre point of the general camping area. Totally agree that the stand should be populated by Roadster exhibitors/drivers/owners. Let me know if this is OK:D .

D.

In edit, if someone wants to act as central co-ordinator let us all know and we can PM mobile Nos to contact on the day.
