Thought I'd start the hype this year, less than three weeks away..
..so save up yer brownie points, book it in with her indoors and make sure you've got the day off if you work weekends..
So, who's gonna be there, on which day, when/where we meeting (apart from midday at the bar 
) who's camping over and who's going on
track on the sunday.
Donington, you all know where it is, just behind east midlands airport off the M1.
Ned.
i will be there on Sunday - not tracking my car if i still have it then. Wouldnt mind a passenger blat though if anyones offering up a spare seat - have helmet, will smile!
I plan to be there on Saturday.
I only have to convice my wife that Donington is the place to be on a vacation in the UK. 
Micael
should be there,normally meet at the MK stand at mid day or our encampment in the evening
I believe the track day this year is on the Saturday.
im going! theres about 8 different donnys on the map, but from neds description i've worked it out
not sure what day to go on yet, so i'll just go whenever most people go, in the hopes of bumping into some people.
how do you meet up with people you dont know?! poppy in the button hole sort of thing!?!
I'm going this year, hopefully in the Locost, SVA this Friday (20th) if it passes, I'll take it, if not, I'll try to get it in for the
retest the following week.
As for recognising folks, I didn't recognise anyone there (as I don't know what they look like) but I recognised some cars in the camping
area and parked up near them 
Joel Donnington is dead easy to find,just follow the M1 south and turn off for East Midlands airport.
If you think you're on the track and a bloody great 737 tries to land on your head you haven't gone quite far enough!
DEAN....Definately going Saturday!
PS:
The M1 definately goes past Leeds cos I drove through a flood at the back of Cross Green to get onto it last tuesday,should have seen all the flooded
out cars being dragged out of the water
with just the one 'n' after the 'o'. Off M1 at J24 and follow airport signs.
cheers fellas, i found it in the end by looking for the airport! smart me, ya know
Defo there Sat, driving one of the two MK cars on trackkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Pretty sure I'm gonna be there.
Bring lots of money everyone who's still building as apart from Exeter it's your last chance for show bits until next year!
MK stand at 12 is always a good meeting place.
Are we gonna bother with ICE (In Camp Entertainment) this year? I'll bring the deck chairs!
Tip for anyone camping: bring earplugs! That airport stops flying pretty late and worse still starts flying pretty damn early! I can assure you-
awaking to the gentle sound of both a hangover and a Boeing 747 100ft above at 6am is not the most pleasant thing ever!
Atb,
James

Will definitely be there if the weather's good, probably stay both days and camp with the LB crowd. Very tempted by trackday but I've only
just done one so can't afford it 
Matt.
M1?? junction J24??? North/South??
I'm not so familiar with driving in UK.
Can anyone tell me how I get there from Stansted or Harlow?
had a look at the map,M11 northbound and follow signs for A1 northbound,up the A1 to peterborough,left A47 to leicester and right on the
M1http://www.maporama.com/share/

Oh, I may well come along. Enjoyed last year a lot. Might just make it saturday this time though.

and use castle donnington as a search
its right by east midlands airport, so you could land there and holiday somewhere else, like shakespear country, aftewards!

I meant below as in to the south of
Just to the right of the little square wood with the spur off the bottom is where the camp was situated last year I think.
I do believe that is the melbourne hairpin.
Thanks for the help.
I got a preliminary "yes" from the wife on going to Donington.
She told me that she need a good book, a chair and some coffe.
If I can arrange that, I could play with you guys.
:
