The Le Mans 2013 Traditional Ten-Tenths Cheese-Fest Meeting Thread
It's time to open the discussion thread about our Le Mans 2013 Ten-Tenths meeting !
So, as last year : Who : you are all invited, you can come freely : all drinks and food are offered by the locals. You can also bring anything to share : your own drinks, biscuits, cakes... Chidren are welcome too, it has become a true family meeting. When : around noon on the saturday 22th, depending on the official program and races. So 12h00 if any other suggestion. Where : in the village, inside the circuit : here. It will take place on this way (center of the picture), between the main "street" of the village and the track. I wait for any idea or question about how to get there. We hope to see first-timers at this meeting ! |

Assuming I can learn over two days how to get to that point, I'll be there.

A decent stilton might have time to mature on the drive down, same goes for a whole array of other cheeses. Scotch might be a touch cliched, but perhaps some English wine, which these days has some notable high points could work too. As a left field suggestion when I did a lot of work in the US I used to be able to readily bribe my staff over there with digestive biscuits, which they felt were a lot like crack cocaine, perhaps US members of the forum might appreciate this as a contribution? |

Well it goes without saying that I will be there and will make sure that all the TR campers make it to the meet, so that will be Helen, Steve, Victor and Vince at least so lets hope 2013 is a record year, Oh and Cheese and biscuits sounds a grand idea to go with the local wine, and stilton can come in waxed containers that do not need chilling. look forward to seeing everyone.

Suspect Mrs ISynge will be delighted to source a decent Stilton but might insist on up-specced biscuits - she can be particular in those sort of matters...

That would be an appropriate British contribution to the meet wouldn't it?

More the merrier... Provided of course we're comfortable with either living on the edge with bringing the (whisper it) bottle into the environs of the track or decanting it into an old Vittel or Evian bottle...

I just got my plane tickets to London Heathrow and Zurich, as well as Le Mans tickets for start/finish seats. I can't believe I got those. I will be meandering through Zurich, Lucerne, Geneva, Tours, and eventually end up in Le Mans! Looking forward to seeing you there! This is my first time to Europe and, consequently, my first time to Le Mans. SO EXCITED...!
Anyone going down to Le Castellet to watch the BES event there? I'll be there as well just before I fly back to the US of A. |

Is it just me, or is this meeting becoming more and more "wet" (wet=LOTS of alcohol)
