UPDATE:

New ferry bookings:
15/09/20 Portsmouth 08:15 > Caen 15:00
21/09/20 Caen 16:30 > Portsmouth 21:15

All previous bookings have been moved to this new date and I make the assumption that all on the list are coming. I have not been contacted by anyone to say they cannot make the new dates thus far.

I’m in.

Excellent. My conference in Amsterdam finishes on the Tuesday so I'll either bail early or head straight down from Nederland and meet you all in wherever de boat comes in.

If needs be, I have seats however I expect you will want your car with you. Perhaps drive it down to Matt’s before you go to the Dam and fly in to Gatwick and we can pick you up and take you to the car etc. I’m sure something can be arranged.

That's a good offer and a good idea. I could do it pretty easily via City (assuming it's open again by then!) but dropping home just to get clean trolleys and feck right off again seems a bit rude. It's an easy enough drive across to Amsterdam (assuming that the Harwich-Hoek ferry is running) and the run down to France is overall quicker than flying back here by the time you've buggered about with immigration and all that shite.

Adam; you can park at mine for the City Airport and I can deliver the car to Northern France for you for when you catch up with us. Honest I wouldn’t drive it unnecessarily...

I'd be perfectly happy with you driving it, Newton, you're a safer pair of hands and feet than me!

It would have been 4 weeks today till the off!

Yeah, I was thinking that at the weekend. And then I saw a headline from Macron saying that anyone going into France might be subject to 4-weeks quarantine. Let's hope not.

Shame about Corvette, but let's hope that other teams have bigger balls / a higher tolerance for risk.

More money I think you mean.

I'm beginning to think that it won't go ahead. :too_sad:
