At least you have your tickets. I bought mine in early November and I'm still waiting for them to arrive.

This is true. They did take ages to arrive ordered around November as well. So hopefully yours will turn up soon.

As I understand it, weekend badges are enamel, one day passes are card.

[Ian Wegg]

Quite correct, I have one of each. It's mentioned up-thread, the reason for the delay was because of a problem with the printing of the card badges.

[PompeyM3]

I ordered mine last year and my enamel badge just arrived in the post on Saturday.

I could only do one day last year, but enjoyed it so much I'm doing both days this year.

I wouldn't worry Marra, Goodwood is usually as good as its word so you'll get them before the event - stress ye not!*

• Mind, I got mine through the post yonks ago!!

[ecsrobin]

I had my badges prior to Christmas. Surprised people still haven't received there's despite the card printing issues.

I ordered my enamel badges on Friday 30th Jan, and had them all delivered by Wednesday 4th Feb, sounds like I've been very lucky Beginners luck perhaps, this is my first year as a GRRC member

Welcome to the club. I highly recommend the members day in the summer as a must attend event.

Not bothered the last couple of years (not been to one yet) but looking at the pics, looks like it is a good do...avoided it though as I thought it may get too crowded....is it overly busy Robin or what?

[ecsrobin]

It's about 20 selected members cars on display, a live band and some rides for the children. Then what would be the F1 paddock at FOS is for parking and that is a show all in itself. Crack out your tables and chairs and the odd gazebo if your into a bit of shelter and set up on the lawn in front of the house and crack into your picnic you prepared the night before.

It wasn't overcrowded and certainly something special that my family keep talking about.

Slightly off topic but had my plans changed for me I have two weekend tickets for 73rd Members Meeting and two nights in Chichester Travelodge for sale.
Mail me if you're interested.
thanks

Nice one!

Think I'll give this a bash then, cheers for the advice!

PS - when is the member's day in August....I am clearly blind and poorly informed but I cant see it!

[9.3]

Can't see it either, maybe they haven't decided yet. Generally first or second weekend in August.

[4321go]

I'd not been to one either. But then one of my toys was invited for display last year. Cracking day out, a lovely silver service lunch (if your car's invited) and great, like minded company. I'd thoroughly recommend it.

Like anything important it was hidden at the bottom of an email. 02 August.

It is indeed a very pleasant afternoon out. Only thing about the silver service lunch (I've done that twice) was that while I was drinking Lord March's wine I missed the flypast!

Last years GRRC open day.

[TimLambert7]

GRRC Open Day looks wonderful.


I just wanted to check, will there be medical staff on hand at 73MM?

I'm worried I'll need resuscitating after the grid of Mclaren F1s goes past at full chat.
