You can't please all the people all the time, however I thought a nice gesture would have been complimentary "performance parking" at the 3 key events for GRRC members.

Performance parking at the Revival would be meaningless because there's already Pre-66 parking and modern 'performance' cars are just 'other cars'.

The whole 'not actually on the waiting list if you're a Fellow' thing has certainly caught plenty out, some with several years of wasted time. Comms not great around that little quirk of their rules.

I'm so sorry to hear that you were not aware of this. Last month, we emailed everyone in the Fellowship who is not currently on the 'Member In Waiting' list to let them know that they weren't registered, and we do add reminders to our monthly digital newsletters and printed newsletters. We do appreciate that not everyone receives emails from us if they have unsubscribed, opted out or previous emails have bounced, but we do try to communicate as best we can. With best wishes, Sarah

Sarah wouldn’t it be better to be an opt out rather than an opt in?

Dear Robin,

We would waste a great deal of time each year inviting people to upgrade who have no interest in doing so. Many people in the Fellowship have no intention of moving to full membership, and we expect that proportion to increase with the additional benefits recently announced (ticket discount and access to headline event enclosures). Thank you so much for your input and helpful suggestions, though, both here and on our Facebook group/forum. With best wishes, Sarah.

Interesting the savings are at the revival and not FOS, I was expecting worse so not bad.

I’ve got my FoS and MM tickets, I’ll hang fire on the Revival for the moment as I need to see what else is in place already around the dates, using ‘man maths’, or should that now be ‘person maths’, I’ve got a saving of £151 on what I’ve booked for the FoS, this includes the complimentary Thursday tickets, that’s nearly half the membership cost.

If you are going to the events anyway you would spend the additional membership cost and have none of the benefits, I’m happy to continue being a member whilst circumstances permit.

Have booked revival ticketed yesterday morning I’m just needing to check a couple of things before booking FoS (like will I be working there), just wanted to ask about the complimentary tickets, where do I find more info in them?

Just order from the GRRC website.

You get 2 Thursday tickets as a member and 4 as a family member discount is added at the checkout.
