100% agree. If anyone is witnessed behaving inappropriately by Venue/PH staff they (and the car) should be banned from the next X Sunday Services. No warnings, no second chances. A clear message needs to go out to any mouth-breathers so that we can safely preserve what is a superb formula.

Whilst I agree with you on that one it's so hard to make that actually work. As Haymarket staff I have helped at a few Sunday Services and there is no time to stop people on the gate, you will just cause congestion.

Off the top of my head if all attendees had to input the first part of their registration along with model/make of car it should make it fairly easy to put usernames to vehicles? I am aware that people sometimes need to change vehicles at the last minute, but unless people were purposely being obtuse regarding their choice of car to indulge in anti -social behaviour, then it should largely work...also if there was a policy that the car must be registered by 8am on the morning of the event. Alternatively just name and shame on the Sunday Service forum, any vehicles behaving in an unacceptable manner. All it takes is a quick input of reg/.model into their phone by the official/witness at the time of the 'offence' Eg 'owner/driver of this car is banned from SS for a year unless you make yourselves known to PH by email and discuss with us the reasons for said behaviour and then maybe we can reduce the level of ban subject to the direction of the conversation etc etc

Sounds great in theory, unfortunately the reality is that most Sunday Services are staffed by 2 or 3 PH staff as that is the size of the community team, having someone standing at the exit all day would be nigh on impossible but also we shouldn't have to, everyone in attendance is an adult so should behave as such.

Have you/the staff considered what your legal exposure is? I don't know if there is any, and I'm not suggesting this applies, but if you take for example the idea of corporate manslaughter, the defence of 'we're all adults' doesn't cut it.

Just been made aware of this topic and after seeing the comments have to reinforce what Hayling Jag is saying here (altho not too sure about the magnificent driving on track).

Needless to say that having given my keys to my mate he obviously thought being Jack the Peanut was the order of the day so apologies to all,but for once I'm not guilty as charged! Lesson learnt regarding keys and safe custody thereof!

No drama's

It's not usually appreciated by the venues, whatever the views of the people attending. They all have neighbours and won't want to get on the wrong side of them. MBW also has a low speed limit on the approach road, which wouldn't be there if they wanted people to hoon down it.

It may or may not be a coincidence that PH hasn't been back to BMW in Bracknell since some bad driving on the way out, last time.

So best to keep it steady going in/out in my opinion.

It very much is coincidence, BMW bracknell is shut, they've moved their headquarters to Farnborough, which would actually make a great venue. Right off the m3 and huge multi story car park (its the old nokia building for anyone local-ish)

I don't think they'll be having us back ...

Why not invite local Traf Pol to the event, be good community relations for their part and may discourage the idiots.
