You know it's going to be a dry site, right? No beer.

Some of the stuff that has gone on at the "official" Inters camp sites in the past has been shocking: 4am drunken rally driving with cars getting smashed up, tent destroying, as many brawls as you can shake a stick at.. you get the picture.

Think about it from the organisers point of view. There's an old airstrip with miles of flat de-restricted tarmac, hundreds of brand new cars in storage (with the keys in), loads of old planes and acres and acres of land to Police.... and a load of drunken people = temptation for a small minority to ruin it for all.

I think (unless there's been some serious negatiation) there's going to be some very unpopular rules. Like not being able to take cars near the camping area, no drinking, no BBQs etc. - I know from organising the last 3 stands for MKIVs, the list of things banned from site for insurance reasons reads like War and Peace!
Sideways yo!

It's a bit sad if some of you guys feel you can't have a good time without an excess of alcohol.

99% of people can be trusted to make their own decision as to whether have fun with or without it.

Sadly the 1% who can't be trusted with it take away that choice for the rest.

i really am not inclined to be camping then im afraid!

i have never been one to be out of control and drink excessively, i can control myself, and i dont need an excess, four or five cans is fine for me.

it looks like the minority have spoilt it for us.

I just wanted to sit round a bbq with a few cans, few fags and chat til 12ish.

Now, if i cant do that, i have no interest in paying £100 for me and steph to camp!!

Yep, I do understand about chilling out with mates and a few cans :drinking:

Like 'Tony' says, it's a pity it's spoilt by a few but you also have to understand the organiser's pov.

:happy2:

That's the situation as I last heard it from Neil when I was speaking to him a while back, there's no harm in getting it clarified - but I can't see it being different.

There's a few campsites near by, we've avoided the official one in the past because of the problems, so just go hunting.

i wouldnt really leave my tent somewhere all day though.

ive just looked at the camping page on gti international and it doesnt say anything about no alcohol!

i can hardly seem them patting me down for a can in my pockets, it doesnt say anything about BBQs either!

and in the "camping" picture it shows a lady with a metal kettle. now, unless she's harry potter fook buddy, she cant boil water without a BBQ arrangement!

Im going and camping with BBQ and food and beer!

Im not a rowdy wank3r, so im sure ill be fine!!

Just read that, seems more promising - maybe they've managed to secure an area of the site well away from everything, to keep more control and therefore relax the rules...

Ace!  :happy2:
