Is it possible to sign up without joining facebook? A condecending message telling me how to join Facebook as though the only reason I wasn't on Facebook was due to my computing inadequacy is not what I was looking for personally.
It is indeed possible to attend without joining the FB group, hence the open request on PH. The response you get is not requiring you to join the FB group or condescending in any way, an extract of the text you will see is copied below, if you register your details you will see the full text and details of the discount code for the 2 for 1 ticket offer."Thank you for registering for the Big McMeet at Silverstone, the national gathering of McLarens organised by the McLaren Owners UK Group. We have added your details to our list to allow us to compile numbers attending. Our aim is to beat the most number of cars in one place set at Fuji Circuit in Japan last year where there were 70 cars present......You may also wish to join our ever increasing membership within the group which stands in excess of 230 at present. We operate a secure Facebook page for continuous support and chat about all things McLaren, enhancing the ownership experience for many"
We hope you can make it and look forward to seeing you there with as many McLarens as possible to create this world record. We now have over 50 cars confirmed and growing.

You are surprised that a manufacturer that has been making cars for 70 years has made more than one that has been in business for 6 ?
Dear all, could you please keep this post related to the relevant content, we are trying to arrange a world record meeting of McLaren's and don't want the thread hijacked by side issues. If you want to debate anything outside of this could you please start a new post. Many thanks for your assistance.Edited by Bispal on Friday 5th May 09:26
STOP PRESS... Amanda McLaren has accepted our invite to be our guest on the 30th July for the National Meet at Silverstone and take part in the track parade.
We are still working hard to secure other guests, special cars and hospitality. We have also today applied to Guinness World Records to have the parade officially recognised as the largest ever gathering of McLaren's in the world.
We really would appreciate as many McLaren's as possible coming, please do not forget to buy your 2 for 1 tickets, as the offer expires at the end of May.

The day was a great success. 127 McLarens turned up and Amanda McLaren lead the parade in a 720S alongside a P1. Expect many photos and videos to be on line soon. The Guinness Record needs to be verified and this will take time but unofficially it was the largest gathering of McLarens in the world, easily bettering the 80 gathered in Japan last year.
It was a great day with several regional convoys including one from the south east with 30 cars that looked amazing taking up all 3 lanes on the M25 & M40, a hog roast, raffles and lots of money raised for the Princess Alice Hospice which was Bruce & Pat McLaren's favourite charity.
Our next public event will be at the NEC Classic Car Show in November.
To get started there are a few videos of the cars arriving here:
