The main attraction this year is the celebration of 10 years of the boxster...so a stately home as a venue is probably more appropriate than a race circuit

Brands 2 years in a row suited me, but i think makes sense for the club to have a northern venue like Eynsham easier for those located even further up in the UK.

Anyone got the dates for Eynsham? I'll get a thread going where people can state which days they're attending on.

Even though I am a member of PCGB and dont live that far away Im not going to bother, too expensive to get in and not enough for the kids to do.

I think the TIPEC meet is much better.

Agree samba,,plus brands is 15 mins from here
Club is quite diverse and annual event apparently needs to appeal to everyone as a family day out......
I have to say the 2nd year the festival was held at brands was noticeably quiter than the first, hopefully back at another circuit soon???

I heard a very unofficial rumour that it may be at a Midlands circuit next year (this is very, very unofficial though - I think a bloke told me at a pub meet )

I'll be at Eynsham helping to man the 944 Register stand, come and say hi

Loved Brands and the racing action. Static displays of shiney bits not really my thing.

By the sounds of the PCGB event, it won't be any different from the TIPEC event that i went to at the same venue a few years back, except perhaps it was a little more 'grass roots', I don't remember "Catering area (ice cream by Henley Ice Cream; coffee by Azorie)"...

I know that for you southerners the North/South divide is the M25, I really don't think that Eynsham Hall counts as Northern does it???

I agree, there has been a great atmosphere at the last two events I have been to (a few more trade stands would be good though)
