Brands Hatch Sunday Service 11/09

We're back for another Sunday Service at Brands alongside the Revolve24 cycle race!



Once described as "the best circuit in the world" by Gerhard Berger and first used as a motorcycle circuit on the surrounding farmland, Brands Hatch plays host to our next Sunday Service on September 11.

We will be celebrating the two-wheeled theme in fact with the Sunday Service taking place alongside the Revolve24 cycle race, which takes place over the course of the weekend in support of a number of excellent charities, not least our friends from Mission Motorsport. This unique event offers a very special opportunity to ride the superb 2.3-mile Grand Prix circuit as part of either the 24-hour, 12-hour or six-hour race; don't feel you have to be Jason Kenny to take part either, as the event is open to cyclists of all abilities and can be entered individually or as part of a team.

Having said that, aforementioned Jason Kenny OBE is actually taking part this year! Off the back of his three gold medals at the Rio Olympic velodrome earlier this month, he's coming along to take part for fun, having formed a team with some of his family members.

We will be based in the lower paddock, and will have space for up to 500 cars. There will be catering refreshments available in the main pit area, which is just a short walk through the tunnel. HR Owen will also be on hand in the pit area showing off some exotic metal, so you'll have something to look at whilst hoovering up a bacon sandwich and a cup of tea.

Last year this event was really popular and it is surreal to be at Brands Hatch with so little noise aside from the cyclists huffing and puffing their way up the hill towards the Druids hairpin.

Entry will be from 0830h and we look forward to seeing you there!

With less than 50% attendance on the list and less than 10 comments on this topic, I can't be the only one wondering what has happened to the popularity of Sunday Services.

Are PH still sending weekly emails? I haven't received one in months and don't remember unsubscribing. That is how I used to get notified about the SS and then I remember watching the list build up rapidly. Perhaps these emails are no longer being received by members.

I don't get mail shots. Had to look at this forum to know when this one was taking place.

I'd be keeping it one article below the current on the home page. Just to keep it in everybody's minds. I've been to 5 Sunday Services since March, but just can't make this one. I get a gassing station update once a week or so.

We've had technical issues with the daily newsletter and haven't been able to send it for about two months now. It's with the dev team to fix, so hopefully we'll be up and running again soon!

We have had a lot of events this year, which may have saturated attendance at a few. Stick with us though, as we're working hard on quality (not quantity) events for next year, so 2017 should be a belter! With plenty of old favourites as per usual.

Yes we'll be sending these out as normal tomorrow morning, to allow for any late sign ups. Brands is massive and frankly we could have an open ended amount of capacity there, but even if we 'only' had 100 members turn up, it'll still be a cracking SS. the sunshine is booked, so see you all there!

If I remember correctly a good few people weren't too excited about this one last year due to the fact that you couldn't take your car onto the track and that there was some bike ride on.

Just wait for Silverstone, that one will fill up.

I also suspect that people are being a bit more cautious about signing up now due to the new rules. A lot of people on the list never used to show up, so this is probably more accurately representing actual attednance.

I missed this one last year so I'm looking forward to the weekend. I noticed a drop in numbers signing up, but as the last couple have been late August and early September I thought some people who would normally sign up may be on holiday and thus have missed the notice on the website. I know I have before with SS's.

Excellent! I'll be sending out instructions tomorrow morning with a print out, so just have a read through before joining us on Sunday. Be aware that most people will arrive early, so try and arrive by 09:00 to make the most of it. Some first timers don't turn up until gone 11:00 and miss the early risers.

I'll keep an eye out for the info. Can you let us know when you send it as it may go to my junk mail.
