Hi Tim

I am ordering the tickets , each ticket includes the driver and one passenger anyone requiring additional tickets can order them direct using our club booking code to get the 2 for 1 offer, the EARLY BIRD offer closes this week I will post the club code in the club section.

Anyone requiring camping can book this direct with Silverstone for the new Silverstone Woodlands camp site

Hi Ken,
I don't need tickets for a passenger, just me and the car, as usual.
Let me know if I'm going to end up with a spare set.
Thanks as ever for the organising work.

Hi Ken,

I would like to attend but won't have a car ready by then, what is the deal on the tickets for club members? last year I think i had a pair for the 3 days.

Hi Ken,

Would really like to go to this, would you mind having a humble mid-engined Beta Alitalia GRP4 parked up with you? Could keep a discreet gap! ;)

Not much interest from CLS members to put a dedicated stand together… I am a full member of the SEC :)

Cheers, Mark.

The more the Merrier Mark we are very welcoming at SEC but you know that by now I hope....:o

30-03-2012, 11:38
Can you put me down for all three days then please!

Do I get my tickets from Ken (just need the 2 for 1 with vehicle), or order direct from the site with the club code?

Will probably camp for the weekend so do i order tickets for that separately?

Cheers! :)

Ken Tomblin
30-03-2012, 18:24
I have ordered the tickets for every one on my list on page 1. Tickets are still available after 31/03/12 at a slightly higher price , the discount code does not apply to the Woodlands camp site.
The good news is that i think i've got us another track parade at Sunday lunch time!!!!!

I plan on getting there pretty early on Saturday. Saturday is always the busiest, queue-wise. Last year, the side of the road was littered with overheated e-types. (err and my Hawk ;) ) Plus, as Carol has said, the SEC 'tour bus' is on site. So, there'll always be someone around to greet you.

Ken Tomblin
16-07-2012, 22:56
This year Silverstone are asking car club members to be on site and set up for 09.30am, all tickets,car passes and general info have gone into todays post (first class). One pair of tickets still available !!!!! it would be good to have one more strat on the club stand dead or alive !!!!!!!!!! i have organised good sunny weather for Friday, Saturday and Sunday well that is according to the farming forecast !!!!!!!
Regards Ken (contact me on 07970 565260 for tickets)

Friday afternoon for me

I think I'd struggle to get there before the 9:30 am curfew too Alan.
Ok for the Sat/Sun.

Elliott
17-07-2012, 18:48
This curfew. I believe it to be a 'top wish' on behalf of the organisers. I can't see them turning people away after 9:30. Nor can they possibly stop someone from leaving the site. The display cars and their movements don't impinge on the track in any way.

Monte76

Many thanks Ken, tickets arrived safe and sound today. :)

Phil,
You've got an SEC pass and it's a Stratos, so I doubt they'd look twice.
You could take either the plates or the reg doc., if you wanted to be really sure.

Sando
18-07-2012, 09:06
Thanks again Ken, we know you are well connected in high places ....but to be able to get the jet stream moved too? Wow! Very impressed!

Bernie two strats - easy fix - swap plates just like the factory cars did!

Amongst the Silverstone blurb Ken sent out with the tickets, is a list of the Sunday parade cars.

The organisers are expecting SEVENTY F40s to do the lap as opposed to 16 SEC cars. Those Ferraris are so very common!

:D

Elliott
20-07-2012, 10:31
IMPORTANT NOTICE PLEASE READ. !!!!!!!

I've just spoken to Ken. He's onsite and has told me that the SEC parking area has been changed due to the weather.

Please note this change of details as you will need to take action before you enter the event.

You should arrive as usual at Car Park 49. This is set aside as the entrance for car clubs. and where we've entered on previous years. When you arrive, DO NOT JOIN THE QUEUE INTO THE CIRCUIT. Instead, park up in the top right hand corner of the car park, take your grey parking pass with you and walk through the gate into the next car park - No.50, where you will see a "Welcome Centre" . Present your grey pass to them and they will replace it with a green one.

Next, rejoin the queue to enter the circuit.

When you get in, turn right and cross over the bridge (at Bridge :) ) Head towards the mini roundabout and cross it, taking the second exit (not the one we usually take). Drive towards the next bridge but turn off to the left onto the hard standing before you reach it. The SEC stand will be thereabouts.

For those who've been before, he tells me that we are situated near where the Harley Davidson marquee has stood in previous years.

See you there!

Elliott

Just a quick note to say thank you to everybody, had a very enjoyable day on Saturday, and it was good to put names and faces together, I'll look forward to seeing the photos!!

Elliott
22-07-2012, 20:44
I'd like to add my thanks to Griff's. As always, the weekend was so very enjoyable. It was great to catch up with you all and the parade was fun. I even managed to snatch third a couple of times. :)

Thanks to everyone involved in the arranging of the weekend. Especially Carol who's tireless work and good humour throughout the weekend was totally outstanding.

Here's to next year!

We had a very impressed saterday at the silverstone circuit. Many thanks to the people at the SEC stand for competent and very informative talks. A big "Thank You" to Carol and John! We arrived home safely but very tired on sunday morning.

Here one of Bernd's Panorama Pictures, hope he has also got one from the front

Thank you, as ever, to Ken, Julie, Carol, and John, but also Mel, Rob and other stalwarts for helping out.

Elliott
23-07-2012, 19:15
A poster on Pistonheads has sent me these shots from the Classic parade. I have hi-res versions of each of them. If you are interested in hi-res copies please PM me. I have the photographer's permission to send copies on to members of the SEC for their personal use. I'd prefer to send out batches of all five, rather than individual shots as I'm sure to send the wrong ones out otherwise.

:D
