Does anybody have a photo of what these plaques look like?

On an aside, the certificate I got has a different (and wrong) what three words reference to my email update (the latter is correct, the former is for an industrial compound a couple of hundred yards away from Goodwood).

No ideas for a name

Not found mine yet, but they seem to be brass strips with multiple names on. Will grab a photo if I get up that end again

What three word...what a stupid idea. Don't get me started.. we have a perfectly good grid system without introducing something commercial that they won't release the algorithm or dictionary for

I noticed some of the plaques (those individual ones in the paddock) were already showing signs of corrosion. I wonder what plans there are if any to try and keep them looking good rather than falling into complete disrepair?

I forgot to look for mine. Lord March is hosting an event in October so will try and take a look then.

Lord March....Freddy??

What event is he hosting, something similar to the MM I wonder that his father, the Duke of Richmond is hosting?

I'm an Engineer, Pedant is my middle name smile

To be pedantic, 'Pedant' is almost certainly not your middle name...

It s odd GRRC say my plaque in Paddock 77 is weather damaged and yet I look at it and it still looks like new as I clean it once a year to stop it tarnishing and keep it like new.

So I have my old plaque still in Paddock 77 which is the plaque I paid for, and a new plaque in Paddock 113 which the GRRC paid for.

Thats quite funny hehe

Good ole goodwood, I guess as it looks different to the others theres something wrong with it... now if goodwood looked after them all and polished them once a year they'd all look shiny still

I suspect it would be like the Forth Bridge - they'd never finish. There are thousands of these plates - mine is near the Lavant Straight miles from anywhere, although I'm also on a plate on the pit lane.

Why do you get a plaque?

Is it simply part of being a GRRC member?

I should really read the bumf that comes in the box every year shouldn't I.

everything else gets painted white at least twice a year at the circuit! walls, fences and structures!

Yes, but only if you donated as a GSA supporter during Covid.

That's very helpful, thank you. I only became a member in 2021.

Hi Peter,

Looks like I joined the GRRC a little before you, hence why I now have my 25 year medal bar from the GRRC.

When I joined Membership was £45. For the year 2000.
I joined at the same time - whilst I'm happy for their success I do miss the old days! Having said that though, the revival still offers awesome access to the paddock and the team at GRRC are lovely to deal with.

Hello Keith,

Yes them were the days, like me you will have seen a few changes over the years, when Elizabeth left as GRRC club secretary I applied for the job but got beat by a better man James McNaughton who after 10 years then went off to Porsche.

I don t attend all events it s just become so expensive.
No one knows my name yikeslaugh

The expense seemed to grow rather rapidly. I actually left last year. I now live in Wales so getting over to Chichester excludes most events. As a family it now makes more sense to pay for a hospitality package every 3rd year (which is effectively all we can now make) than pay for membership plus the event prices. 25 years of very happy memories though.

If you're that bothered, go and visit with some Brasso!
