GTI International 2008 - UNOFFICIAL CAMPING THREAD

Right then, Jay (JRW) has finally managed to get in touch with the woman to book the campsite for Inters.

I know some of you have already shown an interest in the other Inters thread, but wanted to make a seperate thread just for camping.

It is the same one we have used for the last two years - Please note, this is not the official one arranged by Autometrix, but one arranged by Jay and myself just for UK-POLOS and UK-MKIVs.

The campsite is about 1 mile from the official one and about 3-4miles to the show. It is pretty basic, just a field with some loos and basins, no showers though! There is electric hookups availble and hose facilities to wash your car. BBQ's are also fine. It is basically a farm that is part of the camping and caravanning club. From experience last year the drainage is second to none! Members that went last year will agree with that :D

Please put your name down if you will be coming along (please only post if you definately going to stay and not change your mind the day before!)

I will need to know the size of the tent, how many cars and people are attending and how many nights- also if you require electric hookup. From memory there are only 3 points and i'm having one of em! EDIT - another has been taken by UK-MKIVs so just one left!

For tents up to 3-4 man it will be £4 per tent per night and for anything larger it will be £6 per tent per night. Gazebo's are fine as long as there is enough room so if you come down Friday night you may need to take them down for Saturday night to make room for the people only stopping one night.

Doug - can you (or any other mod) please make this a sticky, cheers

The List:

Gra-GT/JRW - 1 x 8 Man Tent - 4 cars - 4 people - electrics - 2 Nights

Bryony84 - 1 Tent, 2 people, 2 nights (do you think we should bring our big tent and have the other elec hookup as somewhere other than the gazebo to sit/eat etc? otherwise it'll be a 3 man)

If you do wanna do that Bryony you'll probably need a big ass extension lead. The lecky points are by where our tent was last year (on the right as you come through the gate), and the other MKIVer that has one of the points is bringing two tents, so it'll be a bit tight round there.

Also if UK-POLOS is going to group together in the same place as last year, I'm not sure if there are any points in that bit, so you'll need a long lead to reach over there.

Meh, sod it - I'll cope with the dark. Might bring the big tent though as it has a room each side and a covered area in between which would be good if it rains again!

If anyone wants to sleep in the other bedroom to save bringing a tent, you're welcome to.
