Guinness World Record Attempt - Discussion

i agree about the camping, but what if we were to pay a farmer for the use of one of his fields, if we said we'd all pay a tenner each for the use of his field 300+ members at that amount equals up to £3000 for the use of that field for a weekend, i don't think any farmer would say no to that :wink:

definately worth thinking about

The only problem with that is this website will require a DEFRA exemption certificate, a constitution, rules etc . Not a easy thing to get or arrange. The best thing is to find a bona fide campsite near to the venue, but again, holding it on November 5th, a campsite will be difficult to find let alone allowing fireworks and a big BBQ.

i agree totally martin, but technically we won't be doing any offroading on his land just camping, so defra would'nt be able to say anything about it, but then again they'd prob find a loophole somewhere to get at us :roll:

i'm gonna do some digging into this, as the farmers field may be the easier option, i agree with reeco on the lines of offering less and the rest going towards the site :wink:

I'm sure the DEFRA thing is to do with farmer's laying their fields fallow and in return they get a bung (sorry, cash incentive), from the government.

If they were to hire out a field for motor sport event, they would loose that incentive. Whether that includes other activities, such as camping, I'm not sure.

But in a nutshell, that is my understanding (for those who aren't quite sure what this is all about)

to be honest i've pretty much read up on defra what lawrence has said here :oops:

oh well time to think of other ideas :roll:

Sorry about the spanner folk`s. :oops:

When I marshalled for the M.G car club a few years back we camped/carravaned overnight in the curcuit infield area.
This had the advantage that everyone arrived in dribs and drabs then stayed on site prior to/during event. Had this not been the case at some point there would have been a serious convoy this bringing the need for policeing

local campsites may be good..... maybe we could just book a whole one for fronty's only.. guess its just finding one open in november... :roll:

just a quickie to keep the posts going, we need all the help we can get, pls dont let it go. we can do this.

theres one or two possibles being researched as we speak :wink:
