My email only arrived at 6.30pm yesterday, but Nigel has kindly posted everything needed, apart from entry tickets of course!

I haven't received an email about arrival times?

Did you receive a confirmation email when you registered for the event?

I didn't get one, but did receive the entry details, and the 'no hooning' email yesterday. So I think their systems must be a mess. If you're not attending Chris then there should be space on the stand for Derek even if his registration didn't work as we'd have a space free. Assuming I've got that right.
EDIT: Forgot to add that the stand print off didn't look personalised to me.

For anyone without a visitor ticket they've stopped online ticket sales. I'll buy mine at the gate.

Attention Everyone

Tickets can be bought on the Gate for £25.00

Those of you who bought tickets in advance, either print them off or show the e-ticket email as proof instead. Please make sure on arrival that you're showing your Blue Zone Pass, so as the Go Japan Staff can point you in the right direction as you go through the gates

All the usual hot and cold drinks, cakes along with bacon and sausage rolls will be available on the stand as per usual

Afraid Nigel hasn't been very well within the last few weeks, so won't be standing around trying to park all of you in the morning, so please park on the stand in a sensible fashion taking into account that it's not just your car that needs the parking space, but another 19 need to park aswell

Ian, Malcolm and Nigel are all looking forward to seeing you on the day

Once again, many thanks for all your support for this event

I'm happy to slide all the way to the back with my boring stock RX8. Am bringing a fridge and camping battery so then I can keep those out of the way.

Please don't rain. I've spent 7 hours on the car today and still not finished

The support car is filthy, as been busy dealing with Mum again

So if any of you have waterless cleaning equipment, then feel free too spruce the car up for me

It's Ceramic coated

I will pay you in kindness :kiss:

Can't requote my post further back with attachments, as not on my laptop at the moment, but have posted everything you need for tomorrow further above Derek ^^^^

A very enjoyable day at Brands. Great to meet and chat to the regulars and lovely to meet and put faces to some new names.

The club has won yet another award for "best presented stand". Quite an achievement, given the number of clubs represented at Go Japan.

Ian Mothersole collected the award on behalf of the club.

A few pictures of the stand.

I took my 1984 RX-7 FB (far right of group pics) and was joined by two others from rx7fb.com club

Post by **casey** » Sun Sep 24, 2023 7:40 pm

Jester's stunning yellow RX-7 FD Bathurst Type R was joined by Adam's equally stunning, slightly older, Montego Blue Type R.

Some final stand pics...

Very well done to all who participated and especially to the bright spark who thought of the parking arrangement using the large space available.

Great effort everyone. Another trophy for the clubs bulging award cabinet this year. Well done to everyone who attended and organised.

Was a good event, the weather held firm if a bit blustery. Was good to see you all again, hopefully I'll get out to some more events next year!
