The link doesn't lead to very much detail...
"Event Details
January 1st 2010
New Years Day Gathering
All classic, vintage and veteran cars welcome! Parking in and around the Paddock for these cars..."
What is there to do on this gathering, or is a tyre kicking and gossip shop?

Simon yes its tyre kicking and talking rubbish like normal but you will be parked in the museum so so plenty to see,have a look around the museum
site.
The only downside its now £9 entry now and thats per person,the tea/coffee is pants and expensive so bring a flask.

I enjoyed this last year, except it was a trifle nippy, to say the least. So wrap up warm. and like Bob says if you don't want to queue up for
overpriced refreshments bring your own along....
Probably see you guys there.....
Geoff.

'pends when I'm up!
btw, where is the entrance for our cars? I see from the Brooklands website:
"Entry via the Campbell Gate off Brooklands Road for pre-1973 vehicles, whose occupants will receive a discount of £1 off our usual
admission prices. Parking in and around the Paddock and on the Finishing Straight for these vehicles.
For those just turning up to look at this wonderful display, as well as the rest of the Museum and its exhibits, there will be parking in The Heights
off Wellington Way."
From the pics posted further up it seems like sevens are inside???
