The 72nd Members' Meeting - March 2014

[PorkaFly]

Well done to GRRC/Lord March who appear to have created another truly special event, which will ape The Revival in many ways but provide something more unique, smaller, bespoke and private without the intrusion of the general public.

Echoing the Brooklands spirit of "The Right Crowd And No Crowding" of like-minded friends...I'm in!

I'd been wondering about my GRRC membership for a while now, feel that Breakfast Clubs are not the same; but this new event, purely for members, will make the membership feel special again. My only concern will be the weather and temperature of a late March (29-30) event.

Looking forward to more info...and for those of you who are GRRC members and haven't seen their post today, a treat awaits you when you get home tonight.

Bravo Goodwood!

Just got home to find my invitation, sounds like a great idea and I'm in for sure.

My invite arrived in the post today. It sounds like its going to be quite something . I tend to make the most of my membership as it is. I spend a lot of time up at the kennels, whenever I can. This is something else to make sure I will be renewing my membership again next year .

[PompeyM3]

Got my invite today as well. group B rally cars..... Yes please

[Grey Ghost]

I'm in

House tie anybody

[RichB]

It does indeed sound like a good event. I wonder what the evening entertainment is all about?

[C2james]

Yeah have to admit I am very tempted to go, even if it is £120.

[TeeRev]

The 29th is our 42nd wedding anniversary so I fear that two or three nights at Goodwood House may be necessary to persuade the boss that this event is worth attending.

[TV8]

What is the membership year please? I was out of work when my membership came through, so asked to defer for a year - hopefully it will come through in time for this one!

[RaeB]

I'm in and will be purchasing tickets tomorrow morning.

[James P]

Invite also arrived in the post today.

Will definitely be there - Turbo F1 cars, Group B rally cars and long tail LM cars all together. Looking forward to this immensely!

[NDA]

It's Mothers Day on the Sunday.... Not an issue for me, I don't think....

[Mattyk9990]

PF - I'll certainly be there!! Found my invite at 20:00 tonight.. But have you seen my other answer to you??

[oilandwater]

Took me a while to understand what it was all about. For a moment or two I thought if you had a group B or C or an interesting car,and a racing licience, then as members we could join in the track driving. Just wishful thinking on my part.
I'll think about it.

[touching cloth]

Feeling left out, nothing here yet
Mind you, didn't get any post yesterday so it's probably thanks to feckless and useless postie rather than a snub from Lord M .
Sounds interesting though, will wait and see if something arrives today.

Booked a hotel nearby with a flex rate before everything gets booked up I'm sure they will have more details at the revival before they get my cash

I booked the Fox Goes Free pub in Charlton, paid a deposit and then they phone 10 mins later saying someone had booked all the rooms via the internet. Plus, when they found out it was a Goodwood event the price shot up to £125pn. So, I booked the Premier Inn for half the price - fk them, last time I ever go to that pub.

That's not good. Disappointing.

I just booked a hotel for the Friday and Saturday via Booking.com just on the A27 in Arundel, <£200 all in including breakfast. You can do it for <£130 if you pay now and don't want breakfast included.

I can always cancel it if I decide against attending, but why would I, sounds great.

Just got to persuade the Mrs as its a double room!

I'm going to do the down and back from Southampton to Goodwood by train. It's worked brilliantly during the F.O.S. and Revival.
