Great news, looking forward to this.

A request for PHomer can we get village disco back for the evening entertainment? They're mix of old school music with reading parts of Haynes manuals and motoring tales had our group in stitches for a large part of the evening!!

The evening entertainment was one of the highlights of the weekend for me. I won't be giving away any spoilers as to what's planned for next year I'm afraid!

And my only request is to make sure all the food and drink outlets outside the party enclosure remain open after the last race. This year we watched the last race and then meandered into the infield only to find the blokes trying to put out the fire pits and the bars closing. Took ages to get a drink and as fast as the bloke tried to kill of the fires we were surreptitiously putting more logs on We're the members so their our logs after all

Keep of our logs!!! Yes we did very similar what into the infield to grab a pint to watch the last 30min of racing to be told they're closed and we had to wait for the evening festivities to start.

Good news - I've just read a long post in the GRRC Forum (now I can get in there again) by a Goodwood person called Emily and she states that the food and drink areas around the Richmond Lawn will remain open until the end of the party. Good to see GW taking note of feedback.

[ecsrobin]

Well my badges have arrived today. Identical to last years which is a good colour scheme to stick with although not as elaborate packaging this year and no need to RSVP for the party.

[rwstokes]

Sorry if this is abit of a stupid question, but does anyone know if the Hill trophy and the Mclaren trophy will be racing on Sunday?

They are the two races I really specifically want to see, and if they are both on Sunday I will just get a Sunday ticket, rather than a weekend ticket.

Last year it was qualifying Saturday with 3 races and the rest of the racing was on the Sunday. Nothing has been released yet for this year.

[TimLambert7]

Testing dates have appeared on the circuit diary. Always a great way to build up some excitement before the main event.

I bought my tickets through the box office in October - is it wrong that I am yet to receive them?

[RichB]

Not received mine yet. They'll turn up.

[Mini1275]

We haven't received ours yet either, I wouldn't worry yet.

Very excited again, last year's event was superb.

[ecsrobin]

I'm one of the few that received them before Christmas.

[steve2]

mine came today

[RichB]

I have had an email from my hotel reserving my favourite room for the Revival though

[James B]

I'm coming down for the first time to this event and cannot wait. The Revival seems all too long ago!
I was hoping to be turning up in my Alfa GT Junior racer but alas it looks unlikely to be finished. A rental Focus will have to suffice!

[PompeyM3]

After only going on the Saturday last year, I've book for both days this year. Thought it was an amazing event.

Are we in the same house groups as last year or are they all re-done each year ?

[RichB]

Same house - that's for life, Not that I can remember which I am in!

And you can no longer change like house like last year. Come on Torbolton hopefully we do better than last year. Rich contact the GRRC and they can tell you.

[hurstg01]

It'll be my first MM this year, and have booked both days

Yeah, I've got it written on something down in the study somewhere, I'll take a look later
