They made it a booze ban 2 or 3 years ago? It was not in a glass bottle, for the glass bottle reason. We were walking in (not in a campsite). It was at the big entrance by the last tram stop. Not Tetre Rouge where we’ve never had a problem!
Obviously many, especially those that drive into campsites, take it in. Indeed we’ve achieved it too, just bury it deeper in bag! Last edited by Adam43; 13 Jul 2020 at 23:52. |

I know that the ACO tries hard to stop large quantities of booze being taken into the circuit for obviously but never experienced them stopping you taking it into the campsite, except when in glass bottles.
It was not that long ago when the spectator area's would be littered with the small glass beer beer bottles and by the sunday there would be cover the area in ffrontt of the fences. The ban was to be honest a good thing safety wise. |

Well after say i had not had my card yet, this morning two letters from the ACO, both containing new card and two window stickers. Oh well Helen can have one for this year.
However noticed the card says member since 2011, pretty sure i have been a member longer than that but checked some old cards and they say the same. |

We've had our tunnel booked for months - just moved it from the original date and then still have our tickets.. At the moment we're going over on the Wednesday - so not too worried about things in terms of days and timing quite yet. |

Well if you have lost your copy of the Steve Mcqueen Le mans film, it will be shown on BBC2 at 3.15 sunday afternoon. Will be watching the btcc at oulton park but have set the video recorder anyway.

Well, it was pretty grim at Paul Ricard yesterday. Sadly for me, bikes have no allure...

Seeing Alencon and Le Mans on the signs while not heading in that direction was strange. |
