Accreditation confirmed so I'll see you all on the Saturday.

Fab - I'll need to make up for having gulped down that lovely rosé you had last year. I could bring a nice whisky, but maybe 1pm is too early for that!

Sadly our good friend Fab will not be with us this year.

Most of you lot know who I am, so there is no need for me to post a photo !!!

**Aysedasi** · 24 May 2006, 19:55 (Ref:1618175)

Yep, we all know you, Jim......!

That's a shame - I've been rather out of touch, so I'd missed that fact.

I've never met Fab, but I have to say that I'm also very sad he won't be there this year. Despite his absence from the forum I'd hoped he would make an appearance at Le Mans, it would have been nice to say hello. It was his infectious enthusiasm for the race which really got me hooked on Ten Tenths.......

Suze · 25 May 2006, 09:46 (Ref:1618495)

Gav, will you tell me where the wine tasting is...? I don't trsust Sam to remember / do it! He'll want the beer....

Will be good fun, shame Fab isn't there as it would've been good to meet him too.

Ayse - I'll figure it out, will be there on the Sat anyway...

**PascaLM** · 25 May 2006, 17:53 (Ref:1618823)

I think that Fab will come back with us for 2007.

**Aysedasi** · 25 May 2006, 19:39 (Ref:1618907)

Yes, I've every reason to suppose that Fab will be unable to resist Le Mans for very long.......

AllonFS · 26 May 2006, 07:26 (Ref:1619239)

It's a real pity that Fab won't be there this year. We'll raise a glass to him and look forward to his return in 2007. (If Henri wins, Fab will never forgive himself!)

TheNewBob · 29 May 2006, 13:10 (Ref:1621974)

Would be nice to meet all you folks and find out I'm not the only ugly mug attending hehe... As a first-timer at LM this year I might find it difficult to navigate but I'll be on site from Wednesday onwards so will have to have a good look around and get my bearings whilst the track is quiet...

GT6 · 30 May 2006, 12:57 (Ref:1622914)

NEWBOB
You will have a big surprise, even on Wednesday evening the amount of people at the track will be considerable, if you arrive early on Wednesday afternoon you will be able to walk around but the crowds soon build up,but it will get worse on Thursday. There are always changes around the back of the pit lane (the village) each year but this year I think even us old hands will need a little time to figure out where every thing is.
Talk to people at your campsite when you arrive, they will probably have already been around the track.

for this test week end : we used to have a small meeting on sunday morning for a coffee at the paddock bar. I'll be there from 8am to 8.30, so if anyone wants to join, everybody's welcome (hopefully the bar is open, otherwise coffee is at La Vendée)

Suze · 1 Jun 2006, 15:43 (Ref:1624688)

Some of us will still be in England

**PascaLM** · 2 Jun 2006, 17:20 (Ref:1625587)

I will try to arrive at the Paddock bar at 08h15.

bernard b · 2 Jun 2006, 20:38 (Ref:1625696)

it won't be easy to set a meeting point in the village

have a look how it is today :

almost all the shade is gone

bernard b · 2 Jun 2006, 20:49 (Ref:1625706)

the main square : only one big tree

**Bentley03** · 2 Jun 2006, 22:05 (Ref:1625752)

Oh, what a mess........

**PascaLM** · 3 Jun 2006, 07:56 (Ref:1625976)

This place near the only old tree will be too much busy. We shall go on reconnaissance on sunday to find the right place for the meeting.

kdr · 3 Jun 2006, 10:54 (Ref:1626016)

i'm off to the world cup for five weeks tomorrow, so will miss the whole show..10/10ths meeting et al. for those of you i've met before, have a great time and i hope to see you in 2007(fab included), for those of you who haven't been before...well some of you know what i do to put food on the plate and pay the bills, and last weekend was my first ever F1 GP, at Monaco of all places...and sure its pretty good...but can i assure you newbies that Le Mans knocks it and any other race into the middle of next week, there simply is NO comparison. Enjoy!

Safe journey and try and enjoy it.......

Suze · 4 Jun 2006, 21:41 (Ref:1627106)

I vote for the meeting place being near either a) a champagne stall or b) the grand marnier crepe stall

**PascaLM** · 5 Jun 2006, 10:54 (Ref:1627474)

I'm afraid that the Champagne or the Grand Marnier stands have disappeared. I think that they will be moved.
For the meeting, don't worry, there will be enough to drink (I will bring Gewurtztraminer).
Bernard and I found a place near a big tree, at the entrance of the new village. Bernard is going to publish photos in order to direct us.

Now, which schedule do we choose : 12h00 or 13h00 ?

Could I suggest a compromise of 12:30, after the second historic race and before the pitlane formalities get into full swing............?

here is the gallery where you'll find pictures of the village and the track with it's modifications
as we don't know where the stalls will be , Pascal and I found place easy to find, on the shade of the biggest tree here (I'll set up a map later)
seeing the pictures, maybe some of you could have better ideas
