GT Racing at Brands
Discussion
Some instructions on how to get to the Grasshopper.
Borrowed from a recent UOC meet, so any mistakes are laid at the feet of the 'author'!
The Grasshopper" is a very large pub with a very large flat car park situated on the A25 between Westerham (Kent) and Oxted (Surrey). You cannot miss it! If coming from the east (clockwise on the M25) you can either leave the M25 at junction 5 (signed A21 then A25) then take the A25 westbound towards Westerham (the shortest if slowest route, the pub is about 1 mile beyond Westerham on the right) or continue on the M25 to junction 6 and follow the directions below.
If coming via the M26 you will have to go onto J6 of the M25 because they forgot to build an exit at Sevenoaks when the M25 and M26 were linked!
If coming from the west (anti-clockwise on the M25) leave the M25 at junction 6 and follow the signs A25 Sevenoaks (Westerham). The Grasshopper is about 4 miles from the junction, on the left about 1 mile after the second set of traffic lights.
All we need to do now is decide on a time. Can someone more knowledgeble in the area and road conditions work out an approx travel time to get to Brands? BLUESATIN maybe?

The timetable is available here:
www.pistonheads.com/motorsport/news.asp?s=27&storyId=7362
I'd suggest meeting at about 10:30-11am. That should mean that most people can get up at a reasonable hour and also that there's plenty of time at the circuit.
If we get there too near to the race, the Ultima team will be getting a bit stressed out preparing for it and won't have time to natter. There's also plenty of other good racing to be seen before the GTs.
These are the people who should be coming:
Chris James (Reading, Berks)
David Weeden (Leatherhead, Surrey)
Brian Stanley (Cookham Dean, Berks)
Glyn Coxon (Preston) Early start then!
Nick Meurice (Hythe, Kent)
Mike Harris (Bletchingley, Surrey)
Paul Buckthorpe (Southampton)
Simon Jenkins (Hayes, Middx)
Guy Thompson (Marlow, Bucks)
Clive Davies (Southam)
Andy ‘Gladwin (Bures, Suffolk)
Dominic Cross (Bromham, Wiltshire)
I hope we don't have any last minute cancellations as it's taken a fair bit of negotiation to make this happen and it would be a shame if we didn't have a decent display to put on.
