Hi I'm looking to pull together the guys I go to Le-man with each year to defect to the Ring this year as a change and because we now hate the gen'darms.

But Looks like the hotel is all booked up assuming all names put down are going, but if 4-5 twin rooms open up and you dont mind me and a few petrol heads tagging along let us know. Else we will look into neighbouring hotels, and prob tie up one evening at your hotel.

Cheers

Stick you names down Rob, there are plenty of Hotels, and TBH you want one as far away from Nige and Crowman as possible.

Well I've beaten everyone else to next years holiday planner, just need to stop breaking my car and find some money now.

Gutted to see the 2 drop outs :cry:

You will be missed guys.

I'm just waiting on 100% confirmation of names and exact numbers. But I'm fairly confident we will be needing 4 twin rooms ideally comfort. But compared to a tent at Le-man anything will do really.

If could sound them out, whilst talking and provisionally book would be superb.

Thanks

We now have a confirmed 10 people wishing to come and possibly another 3 tbc, spread over 5 cars (possibly 6 tbc). Is the contact at the hotel english speaking ?. I'm happy to make contact, to discuss potential for our rooms, but conversely I dont want to tread on toes. Were looking to take the Tunnel as I get bad sea sick, and the tunnel is superfast and easy. But would catch up on route on way down if we get the tunnel.

Good news Rob, I'm tempted by the Tunnel aswell at the moment especially as it's only £30 different.
That's £30 well spent IMHO, especially for the journey home where we can be accross the channel and home by the time the ferry does the same trip.

Jackie is English speaking, but she is currently on holiday.

Ideally, both her and myself like to keep it as dealing 1 to 1 just to save any crossed wires. We has a bit of that first year and was a nightmare for her.

As soon as she's back I will get in touch and get things sorted :ok:

Ok mate, will leave it with you. Just keep us posted either way as I'm sure you will once you've made contactt. p.s will Amend my post above, we defo need another Twin room now. So 5 Twin room in total. :D

Plus trains don't sink ;) - It would be be good to have your company and a veteran in the convoy, and would give more time either end for pit stops.

Will hold off making arrangments with tunnel Until I know where we are with Hotel, and tunnel can be sorted last minute anyway.

What happened to the School teacher & his wife who got married last year and came to The Ring with us ???

Cant remember their names ??

Nick and Sian... Can't come with school duties

Glad we made an impression Clive ;-)

Yep unfortunately can't come this year as could only really get there late Sat (11pm last time we did it leaving at 3) and would have to leave lunchtime on Sunday so not really worth it for a day and a half... Bloody rockers!

Just waiting to see who else get's the tunnel, but these seems like a good deal/time :

Ferry for me.... The less time in france the better

And a snotty breakfast Mmmmmmmmmm

OK, where do I start.

I have just heard from Jackie and we have a couple less rooms that we first thought. Sorry chaps but there is nothing I or Jackie can do about that, we had the hotel block booked for our usual weekend and GmbH changed their dates, which wrecked our ideas.

However, with some juggling and some buddying up, we can fit more people in there than the rooms count shows.

As the list was compiled, I have apportioned the rooms, it is the fairest way. If anyone drops out for any reason, the list will budge up 1 place from the person who drops out, again this is the fairest way of doing it.

Comfort Doubles / Twins @ 88 euro's per night

One of these can be made into a triple room, so I will do the decent thing and offer that to someone who wants to join Jay & Myself.

1: Steve Green & Jay - Comfort Twin (TRIPLE ROOM IF SOMEONE WANTS TO JOIN US) - FERRY BOOKED - 88 euro's per night
2: Martyn Chapman Smith & Richard Ninnis - Comfort Twin - 88 euro's per night
3: Steve & Claire Gates - Comfort Double - 88 euro's per night
4: Clive Phillips & Heather Phillips - Comfort Double - 88 euro's per night


Standard double/twin @ 78 euro's per night

4 of these rooms can be made into triples.

5: Tim Critchlow and Sim Bonnett - Twin - 78 euro's per night
6: Ian Pain & Pete Stockley - Twin - 78 euro's per night
7: James Nash & Adrian - Twin - 78 euro's per night
8: Joel & Jess Theobald - double - 78 euro's per night
9: Nige + 1 - Twin - 78 euro's per night - FERRY BOOKED
10: Daz & Lucia - Double - 78 euro's per night

Single / Twin @ 52 euro's per night

All three of these single rooms can be made into cheap twins.

11: Scott & Shane - - Twin - 52 euro's per night - FERRY NOT BOOKED MIGHT GET THE TUNNEL (£89)
12: Greg + 1 - - Twin - 52 euro's per night
13: Adam Greensmith && Tom Gray - - Twin - 52 euro's per night

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


This is the cut off point for the rooms available in standard format, I'm really sorry chaps. But as stated there is plenty of scope to share in a room or use 2 twin rooms at the B&B down the road ( a couple of minutes away by car.) Can you please indicate which route you would prefer to take, either buddying up, or offsite? We have a potential 8 beds we can get made up to share rooms at Jackies, then the 2 twins at the B&B, so that potentially caters for everyone with maybe 1 person missing out.

RESERVES:
R1: Jason Heath & someone else - standard/comfort double/twin
R2: Rob (RobEvo5) and another Trevor - Any room with 2 beds or a bed and a sofa - TUNNEL
R3. Simon (Robs Brother) and another probably Steve.P - Any room with 2 beds, or 2 single rooms - TUNNEL
R3. Robs/Simons mates Matt and Russ - Any room with 2 beds or a bed and a sofa -TUNNEL
R4. Rob/Simons mates, Griff and Rich - Any room with 2 beds, Or 2 single rooms -TUNNEL
R5. Rob/Simons mates - Steve and another - Any room with 2 beds or even 2 singles if needs be.

Anyone who is happy to share their rooms (obviously not couples) please can you post up, so that we can start getting people sorted in rooms.

Breaking news, James and Adrian are now sharing a room, so that has created the space so that everyone on this list can be at either Jackies or the B&B :ok:

Appreciate your efforts, and as it stands at the moment looks like a logistical nightmare if I'm honest, and I feel like we are invading causing others to potentially loose out or at the very least compromise on ideal room space.

So this is where I'm currently at - We don't want to be unsociable but there is enough in our group to make a group if that makes sense. Having never been, I assume there are other hotels within a few mile radius that my little group might be able to get into ?. So will do some research ASAP, but any pointers or suggestions of hotels you passed nearby that looked good let us know - Happy to pay more or less per room pending on the calibre of hotel, so long as its value for money.

But I think the ideal scenario for all, would be if our group of 5 rooms which might even need to be 6, could get placed in a nearby hotel. Then tie up on the day/evening at your hotel or whereever the masses decide to eat/drink.

Rob, no problem at all.

The 2 rooms at the B&B are booked provisionally, so there's 2 straight off the bat. If you are going, I would get onto this fairly quickly if I were you, as it's a bank holiday over there that weekend, so thing will get booked up. Check out the Ben Lovejoy website or even the official Nurburgring website for local accommodation too.

I will get in touch with Jackie again and let her know what's happening and ask where she would recommend. Will you take the 2 B&B rooms? I won't cancel them yet, but would ask if you could let me know ASAP so we can get them cancelled if you don't want them.

And remember that we can always make some room at Jackies if you are struggling to get anywhere :ok:

I can't see the 2 B&B rooms being much good tbh. We would need to be in the same place, and although I haven't spoke to my party yet. I would say with reasonable certaintly if your speaking with Jackie to let those rooms go.

Will get surfing tonight and see what we can find...... But could struggle by the sounds of it. Looks like we might have to go a little further out, so if Jackie can recommend any picturesque towns with a bit of life and a few bars that we might get in, would be great. If not will try the power of google :D

Steve, if you really - and I mean really - don't need these two rooms in the B&B I would like one of them. I've already e-mailed Jackie that I will take what is left when you guys are sorted as I can only stay for one night anyway, from the 26th to the 27th. If nothing's left I will simply do what I did last year: turning up in the morning and going back home at night. :)

Ok mate, fair enough. The main hotel at the GP circuit is quite nice. Theres always Cochem as a place to base yourself, we always go there for a day anyway. It's about a 25 min drive, but a good twisty drive :drive:

I will go and have a look in a minute mate and see what I can find too :ok:

Kerstin, I thought you had already arranged a room with Jackie, I'm so sorry.

Of course there is a room with your name on it at the B&B, I will make sure of that :mrgreen:

Here you go Rob. A couple of websites to check out. These have some accommodation on them :ok:

Ben Lovejoys site: http://nurburgring.org.uk/ and the where to stay page http://nurburgring.org.uk/where_to_stay.php

Official Nurburgring site: http://www.nuerburgring.de/en.html

No need to be sorry, Steve. I didn't put my name on the list on purpose because I can only stay for one night and I didn't want to block a room for this one night that could be used by someone who stays for 5 days. Would have been unfair I thought. I wanted to wait till you guys are sorted. This was what I have told Jackie as well. After all, if the worse comes to the worst I do have the option to go back home. :)

Many thanks for thinking of me though and for sorting it out, Steve. :doubleup::doubleup:

I couldn't have sorted a room out earlier anyway as I had to sort out work first as I actually have the dayshifts that weekend. So I had to find someone who loves going to work for me on a bank holiday weekend. :-D And my boyfriend wanted to sort it out with his company, too. But he failed. :sad: So my brother is coming with me now. :)
