I for one am unable to attend this as I am on a Brownie Pack Holiday.

I certainly will be attending this even with Ken and believe I will be involved in the classic parade around the famous circuit, looking forward to that.
Having gone in 06 and 08, I was really hoping to go this year. But it's getting really expensive.
2006: £15 per car - that's £15 for two people for a day. (I got that ticket last minute)
2007: £20 per car per day or £35 for all 3 days - booking it as late as July! (I pulled out last minute)
2008: Booked before the 30th June was £25 per day. (£20 on friday) (I only went one day, can't remember the price for all 3 days, but it was still less than this year)
I really really really wanted to do the parade lap this year (my car is 20 around then, so it seemed fairly fitting) from Newport Pagnell and all three days but am gonna have to think about this. Really unimpressed at the price hike this year. I may just go for one day.
I really hope there's more members this year though, compared to last year... It really is a great day/weekend out!
Ken Richard Brett has confirmed attending all weekend as its bringing the shop. He suggests a better site than last year? apparently the DC nicked a fair chunk of our pitch??
Oh that is a bit expensive!
Apparently there was a bit of an argument over the pitch last year, but yes, the DC did nick a part of our pitch and it was impossible to really distinguish where one ended and the other started.Originally Posted by AW11 Forever
Particularly cheeky as the DC had Mk2s there too... (As much as I like the Mk2, not really a classic in my opinion)
Yep - the first 2 years we had a great pitch on the grass
Then the DC decided to attend, so we got lumped next to their expanse on the tarmac - it was a bit poor the first time next to them, then last year they took the P and hogged most of the area.
I suggest someone backs up Ken and holds out for a grass pitch (need to speak to the organisers) or definately request a pitch away from the DC
I really is a great show though
I know Ken Salmon had a word with the organizer about the pitch, and how unhappy
we were about it , We were told we would be on the grass this year! I hope this is the
case, As its hard knocking tent pegs into concrete to put the gazebo up but is great fun trying, But what a fantastic show well worth the trip.
Bill.
cool - the grass pitches are lovely unless it rains
Right, I'm gonna try to go to this.
I know we won't get close to the MX-5 club's numbers (they had 200 cars last year!!!) but it'd be nice to have more than a handful there. Who's going?
I'll buy my ticket later this month (apparently the reduced rate applies to end of April, not end of March?)...
