Right then folks, the time has come to post the official list for the 2012 SES Ring Trip.

As you may well be aware, we have had to change the dates for this, due to GmbH and their messing about and changing dates for events, including the Nurburgring 24hr and then the Rock AM Ring being on the dates we had originally pencilled in.

The dates we are going for now are Friday 25th May 2012 - Tuesday 29th May 2012. This also gives us 3 solid days of opening time on the Green Hell, this however is due to the fact that there is a German bank holiday that weekend (This is the festival where we see the decorated tree's about 80ft up on a pole each year), so expect it to be busy out there on Saturday and Sunday for sure.

As was the case last year, we will be insisting on a deposit being paid of £50.00. This is non returnable, so think hard before putting your name down as a "maybe". The deposits will need to be paid by last weekend in February (Sunday 26th). If you are on the list and have not paid the deposit by then, your name will be removed. There will be no exceptions to this rule and no late entries taken after this date, due to limited space on this years trip due to the date change. We currently have 15 rooms blocked out for us, there might be a few more as Jackie may get cancellations due to the changing of the 24hr race which.

Please keep your eyes open in the coming weeks for details of how to pay the deposits, it won't be the same as last year as that cost me personally quite a few quid to square everyones deposits up, due to unforeseen PayPal charges. I was happy (ish) to do it then, but won't be this year, sorry and all that.

We will also get the ferry details and a link posted up in the next few days, you will have to go and organise this yourself and then post up to state that your ferry is booked.

Insurance, we all know this is a thorny issue and one that has raised several threads about should I / shouldn't I? All of those who are insured with Moley can get a great deal on both your Track Insurance + European Insurance & breakdown cover with repatriation. Even if you DON'T go for track insurance, DO NOT under any circumstance go without the breakdown and repatriation cover.

Cost wise, I will be contacting Jackie again in early January and confirming the costs again with her. So these will be confirmed in the next week or so. If you base it on last years prices though, you won't be far wrong. Please also remember the fact that Jackie does not take credit cards. I have stated this every year, but still we have people not doing the right thing as far as this is concerned. If you want to, you can pay in advance a couple of weeks before we leave by Bank Transfer. I found this option much easier.

Apologies if I sound like I'm going on, but these things have to be sorted from the start, otherwise it's an endless line of questions and let downs.

Please add your name to this OFFICIAL thread for the SES 2012 Ring Trip. Stating how many people and names (not user names please, full names if possible). What room configuration. Single / Twin / Double etc. Please copy and paste just the list with your added details.

Heres looking forward to another great trip in 2012.
