Do I wait for a membership number/ bundle?
When/ how can i request tickets for 2015?
Am I too late for a goody bag for this year?

Did you become fully paid up in October? Than you'll have to wait till beginning of November before your stuff, including membership card, arrrives.

Try logging in on their side with email-address and password to find your membership number.

ACO member ticket sale starts two or three weeks before the non-members can do so, somewhere in November (so you just joined in time!). No news on that at the moment yet.

Not sure on the 2014 goodie bag.

considering joining up instead of buying shoes this month to secure a tr camping ticket. is the first bit of the sale an arseache if you want something everyone else wants too?

[whitemr2]

I joined in june and didn't get a goodie bag, what is in it and when do they normally send this???

You buy new shoes every month, normally? You might consider buying ones that last longer

Never seen TR or Houx tickets available on the ACO ticket sale site, even during the membership only period. They all seem to be 'sold out' already 1 second after ticket sale has started!

[bella]

in that case i probably won't bother and will stick with the agencies! thanks for the info

(fwiw the pair of shoes that need replacing are my sensible ones that are 3 years old. does that make it any better? )

[Aysedasi]

I haven't had my goodie bag yet. It seems to get later every year.......

Better go buy some shoes instead........

You go do that Ayse! - you deserve it!

[bella]

i feel unfairly victimised here. i don't take the michael out of the fact you lot need a different power drill for every type of job, a new set of screwdrivers every time you do an ikea job or a new torque wrench because the old one "isn't good enough"

nor that the namby pamby quota is increasing by the year

[Aysedasi]

Hmmm, not sure that drills, screwdrivers and wrenches actually compute for me bella, my missus knows I'm a complete DIY disaster! Now if you'd suggested something about buying yet another fountain pen to go with the 30-40 I already have, I'd have taken it on the chin!

[GT6]

I collected some stuff at the race and got a load in the post in August

As for camping I leave that to Nadine she has never let me down yet

[bella]

ahh, you can tell i've not been fully assimilated by the collective yet. i'd forgotten your comfort purchase of choice

Thank you - I shall wait with baited breath!

[GT6]

Well my order form for tickets has been completed and returned to le mans, fingers crossed that I get what I want

[Pilgrimage]

Booked Campanile Alençon hotel/ motel for Sunday after the race. Anyone stayed there/ know the location?
Plan is to get out of campsite and get a bit of food/ sleep / wash before heading back to Calais on Monday.

[GT6]

I am not sure but I think we pass it as we go on the old road through Alencon, we never use the bypass/motorway so pass most of the motels on that road

[nobster]

I have made my renewal a few weeks ago but have not heard anything from them since, got my proof of payment but that's all right now...
If I try to call them the answering machine just says "we are not available right now try to call us from monday till friday from 8.30 am to 6 pm" THAT'S WHAT I AM DOING YOU STUPID PERSON!

This is getting worse by the year!

Oh! Now I want to know what the unedited version was!

[nobster]

It was about the same Vincent, just a little bit different....

[Aysedasi]

Shorter, for sure....... I knew Nobby wouldn't want to collect an autocensor dodge infraction, would he now......

finally managed to do that and all seems ok!
But I still see a total lack of communication from the ACO club's side...

[Pilgrimage]

I can't even see a membership number... payments gone from my card though!
