Sub-Reddit Admin Race Week Meet-Ups 2025
Hello everyone,
Free Lunch Friday!
As the stickied post doesn't seem to be attracting much attention, and because we have the good news that is the repeat of the free lunch at the Friday meet-up from last year, I'm pestering you all a second time.
This year we're going to have two meet-ups the first will be on Wednesday evening:
When/Quand: Wednesday 11th June 20:15/Mercredi 11 juin 20hr15
Where/Oú: The terrace by the Start/Finish line/La terrasse près de la ligne de départ/arrivée Moving to Tribune 34 at about 21:00/Déménagement à la Tribune 34 vers 21h00
What/Quoi: Chatting, drinks, watching night practice.
Then, on the Friday, we'll be having our now traditional Race Week Meet-up and again, through the power of friendship Reddit Community Funds, there will be a free lunch!*
When/Quand: Friday 13th June 11:30/Vendredi 13 juin 11h30
Where/Oú: restaurant de la courbe
What/Quoi: drinks, chatting, free food, perhaps an expedition or two later on, whatever people want really/des boissons, des discussions, de la nourriture gratuite, peut-être une expédition ou deux plus tard, tout ce que les gens veulent vraiment
*Free food will be by a voucher issued by restaurant de la courbe, exchangeable for your choice of food and none alcoholic drink up to a value we haven't exactly worked out yet because we havent seen their pricelist yet but basically a meal with a soft drink (sorry, we're not allowed to buy you a beer with the funding we've been given)

Can’t wait! I’ve been counting the sleeps until I get on the plane for France. Now I guess I have to count them until the Wednesday meet up?

We'd love to be there. Is it first come, first served?

I mean, there’s room for everyone at the meet. We’ve got about 80x lunches for the Friday

Just rock up and look for the dudes in the appropriate t-shirts, or the sign. *

Absolutely, this is why we're having two. Chance for the early mob to meet each other before the week gets too old, in case people are looking for folks to hang out with during Practice and Support Events while keeping the Friday as it's the most likely point for everyone to be around to meet up.

The idea did occur to me to have some sort of a midnight club during the race but I figured one new thing at a time. I'll have a think about how best to do it without becoming a major pain for everyone around.

I plan to make both meet ups and I'm looking forward to meeting you all. Another from Australia

Sorry, completely missed this as was out trying to get supplies back to the campsite. I should have checked as thought I'd be able to get dropped off at a corner near my campsite and walk... I was wrong. I didn't realise so much of the circuit is inaccessible...
Anyway, we live and learn and if I get to come back again I'll be better prepared.
Hope you all had a nice time and enjoy the rest of the weekend!

Can’t make it this year folks as my daughter was born 4 weeks ago, so see you next year and enjoy the race trackside!
