Brooklands new years day ?

Anyone up for it ?

Same as last year and the years before, gates open at 10 am normal admission charge.

Yup...

Was this last years meeting
Looks like fun pity its 8 hours away by car......

Nice one pat, yes that was last year. Thats conrod on the right sideways on having a cup of tea.

Love the crowd safety measures in that picture (as in none whatsoever).

Yep, I'm planning to be along for that.

Can remember (just) when New Years day was a write-off for me. I suppose getting old and boring has some compensations...

I could be up for that (literally...).

btw, technically I think you mean the same as this year and last year

Just a matter of weather watch now for this event, starting to warm up a bit now.

Hmm....weather looking a bit 'iffy' for tomorrow, guess I'll take a look at things in the morning, aiming to be there around 11am.

Sunday's looking better though, maybe we could settle for a Newlands if tomorrow doesn't work out..?

I agree Geoff, it will be a case of looking out of the window in the morning but i'm thinking sunday may be the best option.

Yes, if the weather's not great I will probably give Brooklands a miss - it would be difficult to match the bright sun we had last time!

I am up for a Newlands Sunday bacon and egg bap if the weather's better then.

Sundays looking good.

Ok, sounds like there's a distinct preference for the sunshine on Sunday - shall we save Brooklands for another year and settle for Newlands..?

Was looking forward to it :-(
Was planning on going but if no one else is planning to...

I will still weather watch for this event and also go to Newlands on sunday, i'm under the cosh a bit as family are over for new years day so if i do make it to Brooklands it will be 10.30/11.00 ish and i must be home for 14.00 hrs latest.

Looking good here this am, no rain forcast till this afternoon. Rob's obvoiusly keen to go so I'm up for it, maybe an early exit is the best bet if you want to stay dry.

The '7' is still garaged at Windsor at the mo, so will need to go over there first - means I won't get to Brooklands till 11ish, hopefully they'll park us up in the usual spot. See you there later guys?

Yep same here 11 ish looks fine for me too.

Well i got a bit wet but the place was rammed this year, busiest i have seen for new years day.

Anyway newlands corner tomorow if the rain stays away.

I wandered over to the aircraft display after you left - didn't realise you could amble around inside them, ended up sitting in the co-pilots seat of a VC10 being given a rundown of all the controls. Still a 'live' aircraft too, everything switched on and working....
