I'll bring beer. I'm probably going to need it

GORDON STREETER · 9 Jun 2011, 21:06 (Ref:2894703)

Where is it ? I do know a man with a brewery !

Alan Morgan · 10 Jun 2011, 06:49 (Ref:2894902)

I will be at Spa, so won't be able to help this year. However, the Historic FF2000 barbecues are at your disposal (and some rather sprauncy aprons we bought recently).

I think you'd better have a word with Dennis, he was very organised last year.

delta · 10 Jun 2011, 06:57 (Ref:2894906)

Yep Tilley and Dennis booked for the cooking,and theTesco run.

sprauncy SPRAUNCY! That is a colloquialism if ever I heard one. What the dickens is Sprauncy?

**John Turner** · 10 Jun 2011, 07:55 (Ref:2894931)

Clearly a SAUCY garment to be seen PRANCing around in!

**Peter Mallett** · 10 Jun 2011, 08:32 (Ref:2894950)

Whatever the day I'll bring a couple of cases of beer. OSH and Stella ok?

Saturday would be good.

Sprauncy is a word used in Sarf London, meaning smart, but in a slightly flash way.

Edit - here's a more formal definition http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/sprauncy

I vaguely recall some discussions on a thread somewhere that observed some later-than-ever finishes (compounded, potentially, by the complexity of split paddocks) that might make organising this year's bash a little challenging.

Unless the timetable changes of course.

Might be more of a 'Midnight Feast'. Or perhaps BBQ Breakfast?

delta · 10 Jun 2011, 10:47 (Ref:2895001)

Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Thankyou GP. We are setting up one truck in the old paddock and the other somewhere near the new pits. We do have two BBQ's by kind permission of me very well educated freind.He also says he will sort my spell cheque out Saturday morning.

grantp · 10 Jun 2011, 13:11 (Ref:2895086)

Here you go.

Seems to get later and later each year.

Interesting split between the paddocks though.

Maybe get the Escort finished and persuade the HSCC to allow you to use it to deliver food parcels to the marshals whilst they are still on post. Might be enough time for a quick circuit between races.

Other than that ...

Forget the beer - do Breakfast. 7am to 8am Saturday morning looks to be about the only sensible time and a 'full English' might help people survive the day.

Anyone have a friendly fruit juice and coffee/tea supplier?

delta · 10 Jun 2011, 13:18 (Ref:2895092)

I guess I will see Fay and Alan this weekend.It's their call.Do you need acomadation GP.or is that accommodation. Anyway shall I book you in the Delta chateau.

gary396 · 10 Jun 2011, 17:37 (Ref:2895268)

Iain - will you be doing a delivery service on the day? I can't get to the Classic as I'll be time-keeping at Croft.

Have a good one.

Gary

delta · 10 Jun 2011, 18:11 (Ref:2895294)

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. difficult that one Gazza. Hang on a minuit do they still use time keepers these days.

I knew my time was going somewhere. Now I know where ... please can I have some if it back?

SZRacer · 10 Jun 2011, 22:22 (Ref:2895399)

Alas, won't be racing at the Classic this year (first time in 7 years).

The Classic will have fallen on my wife's birthday for the last 3 years, and after last year's attempt at a romantic evening at the Classic fell flat (when I couldn't get the oven in the motorhome working, and we had to settle for a pint of warm lager in a plastic glass, a bacon butty from a van, and Jedward concert), I used up all my remaining 'goodwill'. So very harsh, my wife....

But, hopefully will catch up with some of you at Dijon, and others at Spa in September.

In the mean, time, best I can do is some 'virtual beer' for Silverstone....

Alan Crook · 13 Jun 2011, 07:22 (Ref:2897795)

Hi Iain,

Friday evening will be best, once we have seen the most up to date timetable I will let you know a time. Once again thanks in advance for laying on the BBQ, will have a think about the logistics of 2 paddocks.

Alan

delta · 13 Jun 2011, 12:01 (Ref:2898003)

OK Al,I'm off to Porto in a Minuit asked Grant to post something on Marshall's forum .I will leave all the plans to you two. Think I have just put GP in charge

That could be dangerous ....

HairyDJ · 19 Jun 2011, 19:06 (Ref:2901984)

the BBQ & beer is much appreciated as usual - almost as much as the time to spend with you guys chewing the fat and ogling the lovely machinery.

I tend to agree with Alan about Friday evening - could be popular with folk who are driving down after work to do Sat / Sun. The suggestion of breakfast might not be so worthwhile, as some of the bigger events tend to sort us a breakfast voucher for the paddock diner already?

Location wise, I suspect that the old paddock would work out better - marshals' campsite at copse within staggering distance & parking probably more practical than the new one for those of us sneaking home by car after an evening of socialising.

Trust you'll keep the location a secret from those who can't recognise a Cornish flag!

pauln · 20 Jun 2011, 09:03 (Ref:2902251)

What the Hairy one said, basically.

Paul, who can recognise a Cornish flag...

compte deGraves · 20 Jun 2011, 11:18 (Ref:2902334)

Racing does not seem to finish until about 9pm on Saturday and some of us may have to be up with the lark to see their cars out at 9am!

Friday seems much more reasonable so everybody can get together at a sensible time.

White flag man · 21 Jun 2011, 22:13 (Ref:2903169)

Hi Iain,
Friday sounds good, eariler finish and I wouldn't mind seeing Suzi/10cc (on saturday), if we get the chance. I'll bring beer, do you want anything else?

grantp · 21 Jun 2011, 22:19 (Ref:2903177)

I think it is just possible there may not be an alternative to Friday with the Old Paddock location a preferred venue. (I suspect that might also be the preference for the circuit management as well. Wouldn't want people dripping oily food all over their new paddock would they!)

Hmm. Friday. Anyone got a Fish and Chip van spare?
