Information for UK/Foreign competitors
Hi all,
Thank you so much to all of the competitors from the UK, Belgium, and Holland that have entered the event so far - I hope to get the entry list updated by the weekend... :thumbsup:... We still have 20+ places left.
Here is some further information for travelling competitors;
1.
www.citynorthhotel.com - we have a special rate of 66.50 Euros (about £55) per room per night. Each room has a double and a single bed and can comfortably sleep two. This is a nice hotel with good bar food served late and is recommended. You will need to phone the hotel to book, quoting "Dublin Model Car Club" to the receptionist (phone: +353 1 690 6666) The City North Hotel also does airport transfers for 7.00 Euros per person (must be pre arranged), with special rates for groups.
2. Sending hauler bags ahead and fly - if you register with
http://www.worldwide-parcelservices.co.uk/ (I use it all the time) we can supply a delivery address and your bags will meet you at the track or hotel. It costs about £18 - £40 each way (UK) depending on how much of the kitchen sink you take.
3. Getting from Hotel to Track - If you decide not to hire a car, we can arrange to have a club member collect you from the your hotel by special arrangement. Obviously, if 40 drivers try to avail of this, we will have to organise a bus and have everyone pitch in a few euros - either way, the need for a hire car is minimal unless you wish to visit the city.
4. Ferries - If you decide to drive from the UK or continent, we have a special 10% discount with Stena-line that we can extend to you. Have a look at
www.stenaline.ie and decide on your sailing times and then get in touch and I can sort it for you.
5. Heating - we are hiring two kerosene burning space heaters for the event to heat up the track area. It will still be fairly cool due to the size of the space - so come prepared. There will be plenty of hot food available on Sarurday and Sunday and hot drinks all days. There is a portion of the building between the track and kitchen that has hot radiators in it, so nobody should find it too chilly :)
Really looking forward to this event!
Regards,
William White
