Brooklands/Trinity Engineering meet
Discussion
After Burnout's thread, seems a few of us are hovering around that area and fancy a meet, a poke around a few Astons and then some grub at Brooklands later, I'll chat to the people there and hopefully as a Trust member, if it's a quiet day we can go up to the Clubhouse, which is nice. For a nice southern shandy 
Weather forecast for this weekend 7/8 Jan is dry, anyone fancy doing it sooner rather than later? We have unsalted roads at present, if not now then it might be a while! If we have takers, I'll give Trinity a call as well.
Names below, if there's a handful of us then it'd be worth it, and whether you prefer the Saturday or the Sunday. If no takers we'll re-arrange but good to strike while the iron is hot as it were!

BTW Yeti I only just put 2 and 2 together and realised you are Marcos on SELOC. DOH!!
Why not do the Winter Warmer on Sunday morning then the Aston meet in the afternoon?
I'm Marcos everywhere but here - the name was already taken when I joined all those years back Why not do the Winter Warmer on Sunday morning then the Aston meet in the afternoon?
Winter warmer looks like fun but it's not that much fun being the only non-Elise believe it or not! I see you're there though, hmm...
I'll see how this thread goes, if I get enough to make a go of it then I will, if not I'll sign up to Azlan's event!
Due to OH being a sick note over the festive period and not being able to cobble together a Woodman meet, we could be up for this on the Sunday.
In spite of an enjoyable blast scaring the daylights out of a neighbours 10yr old nephew,
my baby is getting stir crazy.
So a tentative yay from us.

you get a nice cooked brekkie at the end. Have I sold it to you yet?
I wish - just realised I am working this Sunday in the morning, will be done by 11. I;d even signed up, better cross myself off Guys, looks like Sunday from early lunchtime, Brooklands is probably the better bet as Trinity will likely be closed on a Sunday? I will check with Brooklands that you can all use the Campbell gate (not the Merc turning). There's a nice cafe with decent food, can have a quick/long look round the museum if wanted (as you'll have paid to see it!) and then maybe head off for a blat; Hindhead tunnel, towards Goodwood, the world is our lobster...

OK, time and place.
Lets say the Campbell gate at Brooklands at 12:30 on Sunday. Pass the roundabout for Mercedes-Benz World (if you're heading off the A3 and heading towards Weybridge) and you'll see a turning on the left about 300m afterwards. Keep left, head down the big concrete ramp (part of the old circuit and there will be a man with a beard asking you for money!
I'll speak with the Trust tomorrow to confirm it all and post back up to finailise we're A-OK. Last Sunday they had the MX-5 owners in there so I'm sure they'll be thrilled to see some Astons instead
I'll try and get us a group rate as well. Fingers crossed for some decent weather, it's a lovely place to do some photos anyway.
