2012 SES Nurburgring Trip - OFFICIAL THREAD

Right then folks, the time has come to post the official list for the 2012 SES Ring Trip.

As you may well be aware, we have had to change the dates for this, due to GmbH and their messing about and changing dates for events, including the Nurburgring 24hr and then the Rock AM Ring being on the dates we had originally pencilled in.

The dates we are going for now are Friday 25th May 2012 - Tuesday 29th May 2012. This also gives us 3 solid days of opening time on the Green Hell, this however is due to the fact that there is a German bank holiday that weekend (This is the festival where we see the decorated tree's about 80ft up on a pole each year), so expect it to be busy out there on Saturday and Sunday for sure.

As was the case last year, we will be insisting on a deposit being paid of £50.00. This is non returnable, so think hard before putting your name down as a "maybe". The deposits will need to be paid by last weekend in February (Sunday 26th). If you are on the list and have not paid the deposit by then, your name will be removed. There will be no exceptions to this rule and no late entries taken after this date, due to limited space on this years trip due to the date change. We currently have 15 rooms blocked out for us, there might be a few more as Jackie may get cancellations due to the changing of the 24hr race which.

Please keep your eyes open in the coming weeks for details of how to pay the deposits, it won't be the same as last year as that cost me personally quite a few quid to square everyones deposits up, due to unforeseen PayPal charges. I was happy (ish) to do it then, but won't be this year, sorry and all that.

We will also get the ferry details and a link posted up in the next few days, you will have to go and organise this yourself and then post up to state that your ferry is booked.

Insurance, we all know this is a thorny issue and one that has raised several threads about should I / shouldn't I? All of those who are insured with Moley can get a great deal on both your Track Insurance + European Insurance & breakdown cover with repatriation. Even if you DON'T go for track insurance, DO NOT under any circumstance go without the breakdown and repatriation cover.

Cost wise, I will be contacting Jackie again in early January and confirming the costs again with her. So these will be confirmed in the next week or so. If you base it on last years prices though, you won't be far wrong. Please also remember the fact that Jackie does not take credit cards. I have stated this every year, but still we have people not doing the right thing as far as this is concerned. If you want to, you can pay in advance a couple of weeks before we leave by Bank Transfer. I found this option much easier.

Apologies if I sound like I'm going on, but these things have to be sorted from the start, otherwise it's an endless line of questions and let downs.

Please add your name to this OFFICIAL thread for the SES 2012 Ring Trip. Stating how many people and names (not user names please, full names if possible). What room configuration. Single / Twin / Double etc. Please copy and paste just the list with your added details.

Heres looking forward to another great trip in 2012.

One of two choices really mate, either Pimalai Resort in Koh Lanta Yai or Amari Palm in Koh Samui.

[Joel]

Can someone explain what features come with the standard double??

There is a link to the hotel in this section! On the main page, just click the sponsored by logo and you'll go straight to it

[Steve_PPP]

Worzel - Thanks for putting me & Claire on the list

Joel - the comfort rooms are just recently renovated so a bit nicer in terms of quality. They're no bigger and don't really have any extra features over a standard room.

[Kerstin]

I can only stay Saturday and Sunday. So I would actually like a comfort twin for the 26th May. If this was possible that would be great. If not, don't worry, I'll try to get a room in the B&B round the corner. I don't want to block a room for somebody else as I only can stay for this one night.

Hi all
Anyone who can't get into Worzels Palace, there are a few options very nearby.

As Steve has said , keep an eye on this thread as Jaquie may have a few drop out now that the 24 Heur has been moved .

5 months away and I'm getting well excited

If you look on Ben Lovejoy's site there are plenty of hotels just make sure you book early.

[Anger]

Adrian's gonna need somewhere

Good old Nige the "evo warrior" getting the banter flying nice and early.

Please rest assured that we will be doing everything we can to get everyone in Niges Palace, Neil and Ray will also be there from the weekend before, as they are going to watch the 24hr race and will stay for our trip too.

If we can't get us all in the same hotel, I'm sure Jackie will help us out, as she has done in the past!

Ron that's propper s h I t mate
Gutted, really gutted

Think it only fair that your spot is filled by Tim, and the list just moves up one .

[Steve_PPP]

That's a shame Ron, the 22b would have been quality in Germany

Thought Adrian and James would be sharing ?

[Granby]

Single rooms still available???

Agreed about lazadude getting the spot as first reserve, but the comfort double room should go to the next person that was on the list, in this case Tim & Sim!

Adrian, are you bunking with James?

[Skullfudge]

That's a bummer Ron

KrissyB can't come now either as it clashes with his girlfriends birthday



AJF: The hotel is more suited to the academic kind of people with an understanding of European etiquette mate.

There is a farm 1.1 miles from hotel that rents out "Ein Bauernhof Scheunebarn's"

That may be up your street fella, (more of a homely feel). ?

Oh fook that's a bummer about Krissy B
