inconsistant Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 You know what they say about men with long journeys. Just ike every years since I've been on Autoshite I'd like to come to this but May is busy with work, my son's birthday and the UK Slot festival so will semi-commit to coming in the 924 or the dark beast of many crumpets depending on weekend ( 2.5 hours btw).

trigger Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 I've provisionally booked the field for 1-3rd May (although i'm sure if people want to stay a extra night it won't be a issue). I hope this will be ok with everyone. We've still got 6 months to sort the details out but there is toilets on site although no showers unfortunately, I think there's water and electric hook up on the field too.

trigger Posted October 28, 2019 Author Share Posted October 28, 2019 There's a few Travelodge/Premier inns in town, all about 15-20mins away, the Shipwreck pub at the marina also does lodging too. This is the field during one of our club nights to give you a idea on it's size, the entrance in in the top right of this photo and that's the pub in that corner.

egg Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 This old fart sees that Premier Inn (Ipswich South) is only 7 miles away, and if you commit to the non-flex deal £31.50 for the Friday night (and bring your own porridge pot...). £45 for the Sat, £30 for the Sun Six-cylinder and LightBulbFun 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IF I'm going, and it's a big if at the moment, I could probably pick you up from Harwich, depending on day/time, thus making the whole journey free :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
