I think most feel the need to identify 'something' to mark the meeting point. Presumably there is no stump or anything else left of our beloved tree?

Has the ACO finally done something against us complaining too much on this forum?

Should we have a petition?
Or maintain a silent vigil? As long as no-one asks me to go on hunger-strike during the Le Mans week...... |

Perhaps someone could create a sign on a stick in the style of "GOLF SALE ->" that could be paraded by a volunteer.

Perhaps we should have a cardboard cut-out of Rob Jones - with a ball and chain attached to his ankle.......?

Well, we do expect you back Rob and hopefully I'll see you in September - are you bringing the missus?

Well, that was Pascal's suggestion in post #1, so I say we go with that!

And how are those who are coming to the meet for the first time meant to find a spot which now bears no trace of the old tree and which may well have a concession stand erected on it for race day?
What's wrong with Pascal's suggestion of the "new tree" as he posted in posts #60 and #63? |

Sorry, you're right of course, I think we should meet at the new tree and then pay suitable homage to it's dear departed predessor.....

Well, I'm leaving this with Pascal and Bernard really, as I tend to look on them as being the men in charge!

As long as some one says where we will be there, hopefully they won't cut anymore trees done between now and the race so if anyone knows what it looks like now can they post a picture or let us know

The new tree is just 16 metres nearer the tunnel than the old one.
You don't need to bring a SatNav with you - just paste the coordinates into Google Maps and you'll get a satellite view of the "new" tree. See you there in June! |

We'll find each other - just look back to the photos in the threads from the last couple of years - I'm sure all the usual reprobates will be there......
Perhaps we should plant some kind of flag/banner? |

Should we start after the 787B show or maintain 12h00 and suspend several minutes around 12h30 ? I prefer this second solution.
