HOTEL & TRAVEL INFO
Hi All,
I know it's months away, but Xmas will rattle in quickly followed by panic unless info is passed around now.
TRAVEL:
At the moment there are 7 drivers going (+ Dave Bolger I expect). It has been proposed that a camper van is taken along with my Xantia (any other suggestions welcome) and maybe split everyone up so that it costs everyone the same. Ferry out at 8am from Dublin Port on Friday 14th Jan. You can expect to be at the race track at 3.30pm. There are two options regarding coming back. Leave on Sunday for the night ferry or stay another night, do the post-mortum over a beer or two, and come back at a leisurely pace on Monday afternoon - home for about 6 o'clock in the evening.
Please make you preference known asap.
HOTELS:
Option 1, There is a Travelodge Express that is cheap but not cheerful. About 15 euro a night per person (2 sharing), but you really do only get what you pay for! Only food is from Vending machine etc. Be warned.
Option 2, is my preference, The Hilton at East Midlands Airport. About 40 euro a night per person (2 sharing), but there is a restaurant, bar etc. and it's generally more civilised.
Anyone wishing to avail of the Travelodge - it's no problem collecting you each morning on the way to the track.
BOOKINGS:
Ferries: I get a 10% discount with Stenaline - so I'll work out a price and come back to everyone based on a 8 persons spread between a camper and car.
Hotel: I suggest that everyone gets into groups of 2 and books their own hotel based on their preference between Hilton/ Travelodge / Other etc. The hotels will need to be booked
very soon!!!!
More info later
