Thank you Ken recieved the tickets.
Due to the organisers not allowing the hospitality bus onto the stand this year, there will only be Teas/Coffees available, in disposal cups , or you can bring your own, Ken & i have tried upto this past weekend to gain access, but to no avail.
There will be a portable gaz cooker if anyone wishes to use it.
Regards carol

What a shame about the bus. The Classic seems to be moving in an "interesting" direction, rules wise.

'Too right Elliott.
Actually it's more than a "pain". in the case of this club, it affects the success of the weekend from the members point of view. Do the organisers know what they've done? I wonder if some of the other stalwart car clubs are affected in the same way, and what their opinion of this situation is?

Have we a gazebo or tentage of some sort? Has the club funds (and the time) to purchase such? If so, we could head out to the car park where the camper will be parked mob handed and get it in.

Having said that, I won't be there until Saturday this year. So, I would get all of the benefit with none of the work!

Hi Elliott,

Gazebos will be allowed, no doubt.
A gazebo doesn't provide the same 'hub' for the Stratos club stand in my opinion.
I'm just miffed that it messes up the weekend for the people who do the most work for the club's well being.
It's not just that though, there are quite a few sensible and practical benefits that'll be lost.

This ban, along with the "no walk ups" ticket policy seems to me as if Silverstone are trying to position the Classic as another Goodwood. This would be a shame, IMO.

'Sorry to hear that Carol.
What a pain?!

A more sensible rule, would be just one extra vehicle per club stand?

Tickets arrived, thanks Ken.
