PLEASE aim to arrive no earlier than 7.30am via the clearly marked GREY GATE, to allow the Events Team to set up the marquee, gazebo, refreshments gear, and mark out the stand.

Points to note:
  • Refreshments (1 or 2 breakfast bacon rolls), water and soft drinks will be available. There will also be tea & coffee, but please BRING YOUR OWN MUG - only a limited supply will be available on the day. Members are most welcome to bring cakes, etc, to share.
  • Refreshments are FREE to fully paid members, others will be required to contribute £5 to partake - still a lot cheaper then the trade vans! Cash would be good, else paypal or I can take card payments on my phone (if I have a signal!).
  • Bring your own camping chair(s) to relax in the Club Gazebo and get some shade.
For those on track:
Don't forget to bring:
  • Long sleeved clothing to cover your arms and legs.
  • Helmet (or hire one on the day - limited supply, so sign-on early for these)
  • Your current, full, valid, DRIVER's LICENCE
If doing the PUBLIC track session, Pete and I recommend you go to the Strawford Centre (open from 7.30am) to sign on asap after you are parked up. Then go to a COMPULSORY Safety Briefing session (every 20 minutes in garage near Strawford Centre, starting at 8am).

Pete will provide some further advice in due course wrt the club session, noise testing timing and when we expect to leave our stand to convoy to the paddock.

I'm driving down on the day. What is the latest time I will be allowed on to the stand? Realistically, I'm hoping to be there by 9am.

I think you'll find it's grass. The hard standing, if I remember, is for the trade stands.

It is grass. The trackside area you were parked in last year Clive. We don't have the section on the opposite side of the road this year, which had some rough hard standing.

The grass will be hard standing anyway, after all this heat!!

Clive, the stand area map was sent out with the stand hangar and notes via email by Combe late last week. Did you not get yours? If not, I can send you a copy, as it will need to be passed on to whoever buys your ticket.

It’s looking like my car is severely overheating so will probably have to skip this one. Does anyone know if the stand and track tickets are refundable/exchangable? Anyone interested in them?
I just got confirmation from castle Combe that I will be able to refund my tickets. I’ve got the coolant arriving today and will check if that solves anything.

I thought someone had brought yours Clive.

I just emailed them at Sales@castlecombecircuit.co.uk and Maria responded straight away with a refund.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ……………..

Everyone please have your mirror hangers printed
A copy of your stand payment which can be printed or on your phone

TRACK DRIVERS……..
PLEASE BRING YOUR DRIVING LICENCE
sign on at the Strawford centre and tell them which track sessions your doing, you will then be given a track pass which you fill in and hand to the Marshall as we drive into the assembly area Strawford centre opens 7:30 for signing on

ATTEND DRIVERS BRIEFING AS SOON AS YOU CAN [ at Strawford centre ]
Take your car to noise testing by right hand side of assembly area [ make sure the boot is empty ]

Don’t forget arms and legs covered and crash helmets are compulsory [ have enough fuel for the session ] 😉

Have a fantastic day
