Phoenix Inn, New Years Day

[MattT49]

Does anyone know if the New Years Day meet at the Phoenix Inn near Hartley Witney is going ahead again this year? I cant find any reference to it anywhere but its a great way to start the year and blow away a few cobwebs!

[MattT49]

Thanks for that James - have taken the day off work to make sure I could make - I will be shivering in the Lotus!

[C2james]

Thats ok, I'm getting there fairly early do if I see you pull in I will pop over and say hi.

[Jagmanv12]

I've seen it listed in a couple of car club event diaries so I'll be going.

I will probably be heading down there. I'm having a quiet new years eve so I'll get up early and have a little new year blast.

[greeneggsnsam]

I'll probably be down there in the Spitfire if I can get the indicators and speedo working properly again! Do say hello if you see me

[playalistic]

I'll make it along in the nob (weather dependent)

[Sline]

Always a fantastic turnout ill be there in the Rallye weather pending!

[wackojacko]

Hopefully be popping down, need to change the oil first.

I'm thinking of going, will be taking my V8 Aston if so.

Staying with friends in Brighton for New Years Eve so it's not too far, but doubt I'll be up early!

What sort of time is it on til?

Cheers,
Steve

Thanks for the reminder, I'm thinking of going to Brooklands which is what I've done in previous years.

Yeah, Brooklands is another option.

The people I'm staying with have zero interest in cars, and I don't want to be a billy nomates so I'll go to whichever is likely to be most sociable

For anyone else that's having trouble finding it on Google, it's spelled Hartley Wintney.

Likely to show up.

How early is early enough for a decent parking space?

[pewe]

Goaty Bill ^ parking isn't a problem - majority park on the main road/surrounding verges anyway and most of the spectating is best done from same location.
I'll be there in the Formula27 10.30 - 11.00'ish - weather permitting (latest is for light rain).
Cheers, Pewe.

[Goaty Bill]

Thanks, hope to see you there...

[C2james]

11am will be really busy and you might have to park a fair bit down the road like a lot of cars do, I'm getting there for about 9am which should give me a decent place to park.

What sort of turn out is it normally? Im thinking of popping down, just need to convince the wife that it will make a good New Years day party. Fingers crossed,

[C2james]

Depending on the weather there can easily be a few hundred cars.
