Good positive response todate from many on both sides of the pond..[

Before spending many hours of research and preparation, we need to have realistic idea of numbers really interested.
I book main Chateaux and Restaraunt for Le Mans Classic 2 years in advance, Ferry tickets 1 year in advance. Jean Marc & I find it consumes vast number of hours organising accommodation, dinner and function tickets for 120 plus people with 50/60 cars from 9 or 10 nationalities... form a Council / committee and delegate responsibilities.

Once you decide it is
ON, then it is a case of Serious non refundable Deposit. (plus stage payments ..[?])
For the first time in 12 years we had a member cancel two weeks before the event, leaving the ACOC with 5 vacant rooms in one Chateau, Impossible to relet along with entry tickets, ACOC Gala Dinner......... If there is a Le Mans Classic number 7, It will be £££s $$$ or Euros up front. Suggest you do the same.
Mind you it is rare for a ACOC member to cancel and not honour costs incurred, However there is always a first, as I have recently learnt.[V].
Please note, Minority of Club Members visit the ACOC Forum, so good idea to update monthly via ACtion..[

Hopefully the shipping and insurance package with potential sponsorship.[?] is within budget, I will definitely bring BEX333, If not I MUST beg, Borrow or steal a AC from one of our members on your side of the Pond.
Good Luck with the organising, Will keep in touch with you and Andy. assuming Andy is ACting as UK representative.
Cheers
Keith..[
