With regard to Payment of the hotel room.



It is possible to pay for your room via bank transfer before you leave the UK.



I have details of an account for this purpose, you can pay in sterling !



This eliminates carrying a lot of euros around and worrying about getting cash whilst in Germany.



Personally I will pay for my room via the bank transfer method, then at the time of checkout you will only have to pay for the meals and drinks consumed.



Those wishing to pay via bank transfer please PM. me for the account details..



I will also be requiring a non refundable deposit of £50 per room to be paid by 17/3/2017

Travel:



Travelling by Eurotunnel as per previous years, times of train to book are below, we book these individually and is your responsibility. Tesco clubcard points have been popular in previous years to get cheaper tickets.



When you book, we recommend selecting "High car over 1.85m", as this should get you on the low deck only carriages and is easier for lower cars/splitters, we try to travel all together on the train.

Could bigemp, myself and one other have the triple room please?

After hoping to go and then not being able to make it last year, I can't wait for this year's trip!

Certainly Sir, good to have you on the trip again. Need something quicker than the Merc so you don't push me up the hill on the way back to the hotel this year!

Different Datsun ;)

bigemp (Dave) and little emp haven't been with SES before.

Doh, my bad lol.

Single Room for me pls.

Added.

Haha yeah, I definitely haven't been before!

I'm guessing it was Sean that you meant, who has a green s14. The very similar looking s14 in my pic is a friends, mine is the grey 15 :-D

Single room for me please.

Might I make a suggestion for the route over, that you all travel over via Luxembourg, not only to make it easier for me to meet up on the way with everyone, but so you can all benefit from a nice cheap top up of fuel before entering Germany, and for the way back?

Not sure if there's a suitable route via Luxembourg... how much cheaper is the vpower then? We fill up in Ashford and then again at our normal stop just east of Liege on the E42. By that point, most of us are down to about a quarter of a tank.

Our normal route is:
https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Ca...3!2d50.1868914

We normally try and get down to the Ring as quickly as possible as we need to unload at the hotel and head down to the track for the evening session for a lap or two. Its normally the quietest point of the weekend on the Friday afternoon :)

Basically I take the route that goes from Calais/Dunkirk to Lille then across. It's normally 3.5 to 4hrs to Luxembourg, though the Brussels route can be quicker the chances are slim with that horrible ring road and when it gets bad it gets really bad. I did it in 3hrs10min once, but that was pure luck that there were no police about.

https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/Ca...50.1868914!3e0

I also fill up at the same place in Ashford, and get home with just over a quarter of a tank, both my STI and my old WRX. There's actually a station on the way to Lille that I sometimes use if I have managed to save enough fuel in the UK but I rarely risk it just to save a few pennies.

As for fuel costs in Luxemborg, 98 of any flavour is currently €1.24/ltr (and that's fixed at all stations in the country until the next price change, no messing about getting the best deal) and yesterday afternoon in France I paid €1.63 - I always look here to get a good idea of the price difference, and to smirk ;-)

Im in for this put me and lucy down for a comfort room.

First things first though we both need to renew our passports. That's this weekends job.
Then as soon as that is done will sort out the payments. Someone will have to talk me through my first ring experience

Crap, thanks for the reminder, mine runs out in April :o

it must be datsun drivers then as you will still need something quicker as they all sound the same lol,you would only need a smart car to beat me,as wont be trying to beat any records.just going for the experience for the first time there

Thats nice calling your mum (one other) lol its scoobymum to you!!!

What car is coming this year Si??

I believe we're going in something different from the Scoob this year, she's gone into retirement. :drive:

Bring it on! :tequila: :chug:

The new motor is a better Ring car than the scoob for sure. Just take it easy through Schwedenkreuz ;)

Go to Marriots near the end of Robertson Street to get your passport photos taken I used one of the Photo both machines and the passport office said I was to far away, like you get any choice sat on the stool. :cuckoo:

Another vote for Marriotts and if they do reject them they'll do them again for free.

Will speak to my new insurance company on Monday and see what they say. If not may have to creep around in the early hours of the morning.

Thanks for reminding me about passport! i had forgotten.

have added to comfort room.

Not sure yet, either RB5, Clio or Cooper S, depending on next few months car swap about.

Have you considered any different accomodation this year? Jackies is ok but a pain (if not glorious) of a drive away from anywhere to eat out etc....just my five penneth worth

Its also not the cheapest around.....

Are you joining us then Tim?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

We did consider other options, but, as the options for dates to go were rather changing this year and the fact that Rob and I are organising this for the first time, we managed to secure some flexible reservations with Jackie. Not to mention my free time is rather limited at the moment compared to normal.

We did very much consider Eddies and it was a close call, I think next year, if I am organising again, I certainly will look at other options if those within the club wish pursue that path.

Just to echo what Simon said really... Claire and I also both really liked Eddy's - the hotel isn't as nice as Jackies imo but the location is awesome and that's a big plus. The problem is really that to make a booking with Eddy for a large group, we need to commit to an exact amount of rooms now, and pay deposits now to stand a chance of getting in. If we need to change the amount of rooms up/down closer to the time, its difficult as he's normally booked up. We just don't know how many people will come yet and Jackie is much for flexible for us as we've been going for years.... if we had a 100% attendance list sorted by Xmas and no drop-outs it would be easy, but that's nearly impossible for most people.

Come along, the M3 will be awesome out there :yeah:

Can we Have B&B from the 19th to the 21st please. Double room is fine

Keep it simple - hard enough to organise these things - and its appreciated in your efforts for doing so.

Good Morning, Please could I book a double room for the 19th until the 21st thanks Chris

Morning bud you found your way on here then eventually.

Hello, hope all are well.

Could we have a standard twin bedded room please.
For myself and jason (brother-in-law)

Sounds like it :ok:

Cool!!:ok:

Sorry my updates and replies have been a little slow lately, busy at work and when at home I have been configuring new Cisco internet/network stuff, so have been without connection.

Any how, hopefully after this weekend I should be a bit more free to check PM's and this thread.

The Datsuns will be taking over! :yeah:

hmm, maybe i should look at Datsuns as well as clio's and cooper s's?

Just have one of each Si, that's normally how you do things haha!

/wave at the datsuns, the 200SX is a cracking car Si, ;)

Had a look at the nurburgring site, I see there is a new payment plan, app etc
(Cam 1) shows the the track it ready for all you scoobie drivers.
