Re:Le Mans 2008 - 28 & 29th June 2008 - 09:33 11 Oct 07
Is there a list anywhere of things that need to be organised for Le Mans? Not really, it's also up to the organiser(s) how they want to do it. You could ask everyone to make their own way there and not worry about transport. I tend to think that we'll all end up paying twice as much if that happens but it can be organised any number of ways.
Booking the campsite (is that done with the team booking?)You can't book the campsite, it is why we get there so early on the Friday to get a good pitch for the whole team. I think some people were thinking of coming down on the Saturday which is fine however we can't all do that unless we want to all sleep in seperate areas of the campsite. Although it would be away from Reds snoring!
The questionnaire (would be good to do this again)I can send this to whoever wants it 
The ferry and driving arrangementsRemember Red has a discount card for Brittany Ferries which is why it's invariably cheaper to do with them. We have always done Portsmouth to Caen, Cherbourg is another option although you then have a much longer drive in France.
Group travel insuranceUse and affiliate Go Travel Insurance has always been the cheapest so far.
The hotel/campsite for Sunday night? The hotel we have been to the last three times is HERE, you can only book two rooms at a time and ignore the breakfast option
TeeshirtsTalk to Merry and Red about these 
Race rotasI have the ones from previous years if that helps (depends on the number of people and timings needed)
What did I forget?I think you have it all! A few little things that perhaps should come out the kitty if there is one. Pit crew were 5€ each this year. Other than that it's making sure people have the info they need, especially if there is anyone new, things like doctors certificates, copies of ID, helmets, etc. You saw the maps I did this year, admittedly I didn't manage to get them to the cars beforehand this year but the idea was that if a car missed the ferry or got lost they had everything in that pack to get them there from maps to ferry details to campsite money.
I hope this info helps.
