I would say it is the clubs fault Kel, camping was never a problem at Donington?

Why cant the national day organiser organise an 'official' camp site. I'm sure a few calls to local farmers/campsites could sort something out easily, its not rocket science.

The whole idea of National day to many was 'making a weekend of it' and camping was a huge part of the weekend for many.

I know what you're saying and I agree !

From what I can find there are only 2 sites, the Works team site 18 miles away and another 8 miles away (listings in RSOC post).

True, the problem comes if something goes wrong and someone gets injured.

Did the club organise camping last year, of was it organised by donnington & the club just advertised it?

[Kel]

Alan thats not the point, even if the service was Doningtons own doing, the service was still provided by the RSOC for it's members and its the RSOC members that remember RSOC camping not the under lying provider. The club gets the blame for all the cars stolen over the years at Donington not Donington.

Maybe the club shouldnt of taken on Rockingham if all the required services for the show could not be catered for.

I want to support the club (I hate using the term national) but its getting hard to see why, the club is not supporting us and each year it get less and less and less.

Comments dont help like 'let shut the BBS down' from committee members either.

If my mk2 is still in my ownership in August it maybe a case that I cant see the point of attending. Camping was a big part of the show for a lot of people.

thats the ****in problem with the club, what if? what if? what if?

what if a topless girl ran out on the track on a bookatrack session?

what if a plane landed on the melbourne loop?

what if the world ended?

what if they use a disclaimer like every ****er else?

people die every year at glastonbury in tents, is that micheal eavis's fault?

you cant run a bath if you think something is going to happen all the time!! what if i got my finger stuck in the plughole? what happens if the water is too hot? what happens if my wife runs in with a plugged in electric fire? what if the ceiling caves in? what if a hot air balloon lands on the roof?

18 miles isnt a problem, how about lets have a convoy, everyone up at 6:30am, we leave at 7 sharp!

lets bring the fun back and stop worrying about other people.

yes, they could do 150mph on the convoy but so what? if they choose to drive like that then its their fault, not the organiser as a disclaimer on the camping ticket would banish any illegal driving to and from the campsite.

that sums it all up,lets all step back and remember this was ment to be a way of relaxin over the weekends,dont need all the stress and hassel,just a good laugh and a **** up in a field with spence

18 miles is **** all if u had a good night before and a convoy is always a good laugh,just call it a tour of northampton,i know its not the same as the lakes

No camping

A 3 session only track event (cant even call it a trackday)

Share with an organisation who couldnt give a garden fork about the RSOC

Can someone please remind me why the RSOC want us to go to this show ?
