To be fair, as the week went on, I think it became clear that there just simply wasn't space for everything where it would have been best to have it, partly because people brought more than they booked or were unwilling to go where they fitted in the very tight jigsaw that is the paddock. It is SO important that when you do your forms you describe ACCURATELY what you are bringing and don't think it will be ok to sneak in another truck on the day.
I wouldn't have Lloyd's job for a king's ransom. .

Re: TT Entries Open Next Monday
Last year I didn't bring more than I booked and I didn't bring any more than I had in previous years. I spoke to Lloyd Mister and he said that I would have the same space as the previous year.Helen Gibson wrote:To be fair, as the week went on, I think it became clear that there just simply wasn't space for everything where it would have been best to have it, partly because people brought more than they booked or were unwilling to go where they fitted in the very tight jigsaw that is the paddock.

When I arrived I was taken to the lowest part of the Paddock and was told that all I was allowed was a caravan and the attached awning.
As soon as it rained the pitch turned into a bog and I had to live there for 2 weeks.
I don't think I was to blame.
I took the shell off my racing snail thinking it would make him faster.
It just made him more sluggish.

Re: TT Entries Open Next Monday
I agree Keith, I also listed the same requirements as the year before but the space allocated was way to small.
The guys dealing with the problem were very helpful & we got sorted.
Lets hope they learnt some lessons,but i'm not holding my breath!

very odd, Andy's post isn't showing on my thread line but I can see it from his profile 'view users posts'
Will have to have a word with the phpbb people, the place is doing odd things.
update: changed number of posts per page and it appeared, like the shopkeeper.
