It started at 8am and the breakfasts are served till 10am the entry gives you access to all the mueseum exhibits,which are many until it closes at 4pm.I left at 1pm and there were still quite a few cars in the paddock to look at.Every body seemed very friendly and happy to chat.

I usually visit Brooklands once or twice a year, last year for the New Year's Day meeting and the AMOC had a gathering in the spring. My issue with these breakfast meetings is that they charge for entry. I know the place has to make money but there's only so many times you can look round the museum. Brooklands are positioning these as an alternative to the Goodwood breakfast club meetings which are free and I believe for these to take off they also need to be free. By all means charge for entrance to the museum and they'll make money in the shop / cafe etc. but as a friendly place for an informal regular meet once a month on a Sunday it will get too expensive at £12 a time.

I've got family membership, free entry whenever you want for you and 3 others! Nice place to visit just for a drink in the members bar if any thing else.
