In the great tradition of being completely organised, I've just remembered that I need to buy tickets. But they're sold out on the shop so looks like we'll not be going. Bum.
I would take James's ticket above, but I need one for my wife and one for my dad as well. I was really rather looking forward to this too.

Tickets are available to buy on the day , just the pre order tickets that have gone off sale now I’m going to say due to posting out and people not receiving them etc |

Tickets are available on the gate still, just not pre-booked (the deadline was related to posting I believe) So I’d get James ticket and buy another on the gate  See, you can’t get out of it that easily.... I was looking forward to not speaking to you on the day   |

Awesome, thank you! I can now look forward to a day of not talking to you guys due to club policy as opposed to a day of my wife not talking to me because I didn't get tickets...

I need a pass posting out but guess I’m to late, lack of communication skills on my behalf, guess I’ll fit right in.
I’ll also be in a different car, a satin black midget with frog eye flip front. Can you send me a decent pic of the pass and I’ll print it and put it on my dash 😬

Well despite a track day at a damp-dry-wet-damp-dry Castle Combe it's still not broken so might make it to RRG.
Weather doesn't look too bright though.

That'd make a nice change from the monsoon conditions we've been suffering down here the past fortnight  Forgot to say thanks to johnthesparky for getting my pass to me via the magic of GPO carrier pigeon and our tiny dwarven Irish * postie. Although to be fair, you might not be responsible for all of those factors *not a Leprechaun. Definitely not. She gets very upset if you even suggest it. Just being tiny and Irish does not guarantee Leprechaun status. Because racist or something  |

I've tried to lure oldone along but he's snowed under with disintegrated rotaries or something.
Are you bnmac fellas going to have a camping setup. Id like to pitch up with a likely lot. Ideally a bunch of blokes foolish enough to sink lots of money into the wrong type of cars and go nowhere fast. Not too flash in aspirations etc.

you're always welcome to join in with us weird dutchies if you want, special stroopwafels delivery possible. But judging by your standards, you could go and camp with anyone Not sure who else from BNMAC is camping, i think johnthesparky? |

As usual, I'm penalised because I work shifts and by the time I can actually work them out and apply for leave all the camping tickets have sold out  . One year there'll be something more egalitarian and inclusive than the usual first-come-first-served system that means the same people can get to camp year after year while some people never get a chance of a look-in. Until then I'll carry on not being allowed to camp  |

I always buy a camping ticket when they are on sale. In the case i can't go i can always sell it. Not that i ever needed to do that, but always people are looking for a camping ticket nearer the event, it's not that hard to get rid of it if you can't make it. For me, i just want to be there, even though fox picture all happens on friday and saturday, can't take the risk of not having a ticket |

Ideally a bunch of blokes foolish enough to sink lots of money into the wrong type of cars and go nowhere fast. Not too flash in aspirations etc. That would be good, think we’ll get down mid-morning in Saturday. Not sure how that will work for setting up camp The Doctor May be our guide in this |

Normally we setup camp Holland right next to the entrance (left side) . We could try to keep some space, not sure if we can keep it for a day though. We aim to be there early Friday afternoon. We will be bringing a gazebo as well, if that lures someone in. Not that we're going to be talking off course... BNMAC after all. But ignoring each other when sitting dry is less horrible then when soaked |

But judging by your standards, you could go and camp with anyone Not sure who else from BNMAC is camping, i think johnthesparky? Yeah great. I'll try and find you lot along with hopefully john the sparky etc. I'll just look for a sea of drunken, orange clothed fellas playing loud techno/gabba - just like the Dutch crowds I see whenever I've been to watch a stage of the tour de France At this point I'm aiming to turn up early to mid Saturday morning. |
