The problem with volunteers, I find (and I am sure this doesn't apply to you) is that they can have an attitude of "I'm doing this for free, I will behave how I wish".
Th[mat was certainly the case with the driving simulator. No engagement from the staff at all. Just standing talking to one another.
With regard to the track being closed, it smacked more of CBA. As I said, it was dry and sunny. I'll take some persuading that it was the fear of litigation.
As I said, the first visit was great. The second not.
Was it a Wednesday by any chance ?Th[mat was certainly the case with the driving simulator. No engagement from the staff at all. Just standing talking to one another.

If it was, I know exactly who you're talking about, they're one of the resons I left. I used to look the main part of the shed mostly on my own until some other elderly guy turned up around ten.
The guys were older, unengaged and unsmiling. My son was enthused by the sim and put in a good time, I seem to recall he was top of the leader board. No comment at all from them, and I don't think they even said goodbye as we left.

Brooklands Hotel is convenient and looks nice.
Hilton Cobham looks nice if you want a bit more greenery. Decent location, 5 minutes' drive away.
Not much in walking distance of either really ( others than Tesco or Marks)Hilton Cobham looks nice if you want a bit more greenery. Decent location, 5 minutes' drive away.
Depends on budget, the ship in Weybridge is nice as is the Oatlands Park hotel.
