Have to say I thoroughly enjoyed the day but, based on the comments I've read on Facebook, I can see why there were a lot of pissed off people!

A car event of this size, at a track only served by local roads, is sure to produce congestion and queues when trying to get in. That situation obviously isn't helped when people don't read the instructions and approach the circuit using the wrong exit from the motorway. To be honest I was expecting a queue, though we were definately in it longer than we have been in previous years.

Seems to me though that the organisers either poorly planned the event (or just got greedy) as, based on how much they had been going on about "the biggest car club turnout so far" and "most amount of tickets pre-sold ever", you think there would have been a check on tickets sold on the gate. It seems they just continued to allow tickets to be sold and people to pour in though, up until the point when the gates were closed.

Some of the club patches seemed tiny as well: I thought we got cheated with our patch, but reading comments from some other car clubs, I don't feel as hard done by now!
