'Is It Time for a Virginia Water Meet?'

...time to get a list going and possibly some ideas for regional convoys if this takes off well
> Car park opens at 7:30am on Sundays,
> The car park attendants on the day will be informed of the meet and will have an area reserved, should the general public start turning up early too,
> A section of the car park will be reserved for maximum 180 cars on the day,
> The new press-button-get-ticket-on-entry ticket system (no pay on entry) makes entry quicker, so hopefully removing the chance of congestion back onto the main road,
> There is a new Bacon butty/coffee catering facility on site that normally opens at 10am on sundays. It is likely to be open early for this meet, at 0830, with enough for 150 ish eaters,
> [b] (unwritten PH rule) Please be respectful to other members of the public using the car park,
> (another prerequisite of a PH meet like this) no burn-outs, unnecessary rev etc noise or any other disruptive behaviour, [/b]
> Please don't all leave at once,
>> The Car Park Operations Manager understands from the language of this thread and from his experience of previous PH meets at VW, that we are a reponsible, respectful bunch and that should this gathering pass without hitch, we'd be welcome again in the future - not a hard reputation to maintain i think[/b]
I advised there won't be many of us left by 1100 from previous experience (Nov 2006),
Get there early, so that hopefully we can have a good meet and cause little disruption to the venue
It's the day after the longest day, so you've got 3 daylight hours to get there!
Any useful advice welcome.

Get there earlier rather than later. Can a local PHer check if the car park is accessible 24hr or what the opening time is? Best to beat the 'general Sunday family outing crowd' there (it's the day after the longest day, so you've got 4 daylight hours to get there!
Any useful advice welcome.

I'm up for this if it happens, can't do the camping thing as too close to getting back from Le Mans (think heading off camping again 4 days after getting back from that would mean divorce, would think the same will go for a lot of people) - a post Le Mans gathering for a few hours however is deffo do-able though
