Great news guys, would love to have you back and to anyone else, it's a great day out and we'd love to have a nice group of Pistonheads users along.
I've set up a discount code for you that will last until the end of May - put ' Pist123 ' into the discount area at checkout and you'll get a driver and car in for £20.00
Already more cars signed up this year than attended last year, so going to be a big one!

Will there be a stand/section reserved for us lot?Presumably the code mentioned below can track what response there has been.
Which if this thread is anything to go by is somewhat sparse...

Already done. 
Maybe I'm just a bear of very little brain but I can't find any mention of what time we need to be on site.
E-Tickets will be going out early next week so you'll have all arrival and departure info with that. There won't be a specific Pistonheads area, if we can get some more interest I can put one together. Lots of other car clubs and we're now confirmed to be working with some of the big car clubs (Porsche, Ferrari) for next year. But would be good to have a 'pistinheads' stand for sure!
Thanks for the swift response. 
Last year was great with an eclectic mix of machinery on view.
With luck the cloud ceiling will be higher (or non existent) this year so that the aerobatic displays are not restricted.
It's not just another car show btw: you get aircraft too (effectively for free). Win, win.
Best of all, you get direct access to the infield with no need to sweat it out in the scrum for public parking.
On top of all that, your entry money is used to support charities. What's not to like?
Come on folks, the clock is ticking. Let's provide Neil with enough entries to get a PH area set up.
I have been to shows where the result has been that smaller clubs* have ended up being relegated to the fringes (or squeezed out altogether).
Btw, what's a 'pistinhead'? A PHer who has had too much sauce the night before...?

I'm amazed that there appears to have been so little interest/take up on here.Last year was great with an eclectic mix of machinery on view.

Hopefully that will not mean they end up dominating the event.I have been to shows where the result has been that smaller clubs* have ended up being relegated to the fringes (or squeezed out altogether).
- Often with more varied/interesting exhibits yet suffering from lack of footfall.

My thoughts exactly. Btw, what's a 'pistinhead'? A PHer who has had too much sauce the night before...?
Thanks for the kind words All. Have to say we've had the ability to be much bigger this year with 120+ cars on the Saturday and close to 200 on the Sunday. A good mix of classics, modern, German, US, UK and Japanese stuff. So it'll be action in the air and plenty to see on the ground.
I've had 2 Saturday drivers pull out but happy to leave their donation in, which means I have 2 'FREE' spaces for 2 cars on the Saturday thanks to the generosity of the two drivers. Only caveat is. Don't take them if you can't make it please. Arrival time is before 10:30 and departure is about 5:50. Apart from that first two people below that prove they aren't bringing their Morris Ital. Passengers are £10 each and we can sort out payment and tickets before the event.
For those already booked, Thanks for helping us as we've raised over £5,500 this year via the car show and close to hitting our a £20,000 since we started the car show 4 years ago.
Next year is going to be better than ever as we're also bringing back 'the roundel run' before the event next year which is a great little drive from Brooklands to Biggin Hill before the show. Also looking to introduce a driving arena when some cars car show off a little.
Best

P.S. Anthony, I'm off to create 'Pistinheads' I think there's something there! Beer, Girls and Cars (not that I know much about any of those three things!)
