Unfortunately, unless I can start my driving lessons, pass my test and get a car in the next month I won't be coming along. Moving house and our US holiday really messed up my credit card.
If I do car share with Shotglas that also works for me, as does a B&B. I need you all to wear dark glasses in the morning until i've had a few coffee's and have done my makeup.
Anyway, if people want me to elaborate on the floor space here:
There is a small room with a single bed, this is the "nice" room. Bar the bed and my weights, it's emtpy.
There is a large room with a double bed, which has all the floor space for the airbeds/sleeping bags should they be required. The room has been empty several months but one of the previous tenants was a heavy (weed) smoker and the smell refuses to go completely, despite the window having been almost permanently open since January. It's a faint smell now though. Besides basic furniture, the room is also empty.
If people prefer more privacy, I can make room in the lounge to help split people up. Although that's only needed if there's more than 2 people staying.
sorry dident even see the question , yea im out , i cant get the time off work . sorry guys have a good time to all those going , i want some pics when its over .
OK, thanks. I'll let you off not seeing the question as it seems you were somehow missed off the list of people to PM (along with a bunch of others, it seems).
Well in a couple of weeks I should be able to extend the booking to 20 drivers (which should make for 26 attendees), which will be great, although I'm still hoping for a few more. Seems too many people have bought iRacing and now have little money left for food, let alone go karting extravaganzas.
Hopefully some of the 26 people who need to get back to me will still be up for it.
If you know any team mates who might be up for this sort of thing, now is the time to ask/remind them!
I'll have to contact the centre and ask them about that. I suspect they won't be keen on it. It's only about thirty quid they want in advance, and I can extend the booking with just a couple of weeks to spare. Will it make that much difference?
On 9th August I'll extend the booking for the event to either 20, 22, or 24 people, depending on how many people can pay their deposits by then. On that day I will ask the additional people to pay their deposits.
There won't be time to extend the booking again so consider this as your last chance.
I drove down to Karting North East so I know where the place is an advance, and took a couple of photos of the track for people, as well as some karts going round it. I thought that might prove of interest.
When chatting with the receptionist there was a little confusion in finding the booking though, as it seems to have gone on the system as Sunday 24th, which having now checked, actually matches the booking form. Now the error has happened at there end, as I have always been talking about Saturday's when picking dates, and then again when I comfirmed a date with them, although I can't deny not spotting it sooner. I'm not sure how things proceed from here as I've signed a contract now for the 24th (months ago when I collected the first set of deposits), so I don't think I can just put all the blame on them and expect them to clear the Saturday for us, which I would be surprised if it was not also booked.
I'm hoping I'll get an email back soon once they have read it and hopefully they will have positive news, but thought I need to tell everyone here in case the worst happens.
atm its my prefered option
although now with the event on sunday and me being un able to figure out how to read the opening hours of avis in stansted im a bit confused as to how all this will work out
No big deal for me, as Monday the 25th is a bank holiday and I haven't booked anywhere to stay yet (still not decided if I am staying over or not, tbh)
