There will be 30 minute sessions running back to back all morning so you can go on as many or as few as you like!

Last time|http://www.pistonheads.com/news/general-pistonheads/bmw-sunday-service-review/33723[/url] it was at BMW UK in Farnborough.

Looks like parking was oversubscribed as somebody had to use the building. laugh

I'm afraid that MBW declined to give us the space at their venue this year. It is a shame because it is a great venue, but on the other hand it is good to go to new places too!

I'm not sure of it is definitely happening to be honest - we were quite involved with the event previously but they have taken a year out to reformat the event... if it happens and there is space for us we'll look into it!

Having said all that, one Sunday Service per month is our target and we're already at that stage with a couple more to go in... so don't expect many more to be added!

Good to see this posted - and FWIW I like the single post for the year format that gets updated as it goes along.

Shame MBW aren't offering one this year - I've been to 2 there in the past and thoroughly enjoyed them. But I suppose you can always just turn up for a mosey around the main displays (or go one of the Historics auctions)!

A few years back there was one at the Rolls-Royce factory at Goodwood which was fantastic - it would be great if we could get in there again.

Anyway, looking good so far - I just need to make sure I get into the BMW one this time! I couldn't get a place last time, which was a bit disappointing seeing as I live about 5 miles away and have 2 of their products! frown

Was it related to the behaviour of a minority perhaps?

They didn't say actually, but being completely honest I imagine it was - they live in fear of upsetting the council and some of the conduct on our last few visits really didn't impress them.

As I say though, at least it gives us a chance to try some new places!
