What a fantastic day! Great turn out from the clubs and was really nice meeting new some people along with the regulars I see. Very lucky with the weather and a perfect spot for us to show our cars in all their glory! Big thank you to Malcolm for organising this event and hopefully making it an annual occurrence.

"CLUB MEET OF THE YEAR"
Thanks to Will for getting the ball rolling and to Malcolm for the fine tuning. A great array of RX8s and RX7s. This would have been a superb venue for the AM! Certainly worth considering next year?

Fun day. Good company and always nice to have an excuse to use the RX-7.

Having not been to Brooklands before, it was nice to have some variety on the calendar. Good venue with a lot to see, which beats many of the car shows at many other venues. Simply looking at the same Jap cars has become a bit stale, so it's all about the company and other attractions for me these days.

Great rotary turn out. Linking up with the other rotary clubs was successful, similar to Bicester and surprisingly, after the late flurry of bookings, resulted in one of the best attended events we've had this year. The stand area was packed and the location near the public parking meant a lot of foot fall and interest in the cars.

Learnt more about plane instruments than I was expecting today too. 😆

Thanks a lot to Malcolm and the other members who helped organise and attend this. Great job!

Me and my son had a great time, sorry I couldn’t socialise too much but I had to keep my son entertained before the inevitable 8yr old boredom set in and I had to leave a bit earlier than anticipated.

Hopefully will return next year!

It looks great! How many went in the end? And they've ask if anyone has any feedback as they'd love to do this event again next year! :D

I think we ended up with 26 cars on our stand. I didn't manage to promote it to FDOC, so suspect we could have had more!

Lots of attendees said they'd do it again, they just need to close of bookings earlier, as they were selling tickets up to 2 days before, but had already declared a 20 car stand size about a week before. Last minute tickets sales boosted the required stand size. Luckily, the staff and volunteers on the day were excellent, and crammed us all in without any issues. In fact, all the staff and volunteers were fantastic throughout the day. .
