After discussing with Howard, we thought an end of season meet for the southern/London lot and anyone else from further afield would be a great idea!

 

This is a family day out too as we are suggesting that as part of the meet those who want to can visit the Brooklands Museum. I'm also going to see whether it would be possible for us to get access to the small amount of banked part of the circuit that's left, I can't promise anything although I do have an angle on it it by way of an old family friend who is a volunteer there, so tentatively might be able to pull that out of the hat. So for photo opportunities (and Joel with his drone), this could be rather interesting.

 

Entrance into the Brooklands Museum is £16 for adults and £9 for children

 

The Brooklands Museum isn't just a car museum, it's also an aviation museum (so for aviation nerds like Andrew, Joel and myself, it's heaven) with optional extras such as the Concorde Experience and other sections to it. The Sunbeam Cafe is there also to serve lunch/cakes/tea etc

Will hash out the finer details shortly. This is fairly tentative at the moment until I can gauge interest and see whether the day is suitable. Please add your names if you're wanting to go.

Great idea but wrong date for me - damn. I'm marshalling at this https://iwbeerandbuses.co.uk/ which is where bus nerds get the excuse to drive their pride and joys round the island ferrying hordes of beer drinkers round loads of pubs.

Andrew Cooke (F Robert Frise) will definitely be at that one. Is this ‘Bustival’ or a different one?

I think Bustival was an earlier event.

Great idea Si.

 

Many decades ago now, I used to take trips around Luton, Gatwick and Heathrow, with mates ‘plane spotting’ :blink:

So I guess I’m eligible to join the ‘nerd’ club?

so what time is this all kicking off on Saturday then?

The Z is still in Warminster and I’m hoping to go down and see what progress is being made this weekend, so wont be able to make this now I’m afraid

I'm afraid.....well.... I'm sure you might have guessed this and it's for no other reason that I'm having the new car delivered on this day. I would have come down in the Merc but it's the only time I could do this, so I'm afraid I won't be there. I know, I know, I'm going to hell.

 

With the interest the meet has if someone else can take the helm with it, that would be great.

 

I hope you all have a great day! It's a lovely venue, you also have MB world adjacent.

As the weather forcast is looking poor (as in wet) on Saturday, I will bow out of this.

Anyone still going?

I’m also going to take a rain cheque on this.

ok, modified list of attendees, any more to add or remove?

i agree Ian, especially for those of us 2 or more hours away.

as much as i would like to see Brooklands and spend some social time with other members, it doesnt really work properly with 2 or 3 (usual) people

I'm still in

Sorry guys, I cannot make this now.
