Supercar Siege, Sunday 17th May 2015 - Leeds Castle, Kent

[Rdlangy1]

Seeing as we can get a car full in - do any club members mind if I bring my foster lad and 3 of his friends??? They are slight special needs but won't be hanging around the club at all as they will wonder off once we have got there and meet up at the end... If anyone has objections I won't bring them / no probs...

[Steve_PPP]

No probs at all Ryan, its a family day out so there'll be plenty for them to see/do

[Rdlangy1]

Cheers Steve

[Steve_PPP]

Everyone who is attending this should have received an email from clubs@supercarsiege.co.uk

Just thought i'd mention it as mine was caught by my hotmail junk filter so I nearly missed it

[Rdlangy1]

Indeed - love the bit about shouting to get attention and you can't shout to loudly !! pmsl! Like they will hear anyone shouting over the sound of 20+ boxer engines burbling away pmsl !!!

Looking forward to this...

[Stacey]

Email received, thanks. Was also in junk mail box x

Email message:

Congratulations, if you are reading this email you successfully made your donation for Supercar Siege 2015.

From all of us here at Team Supercar Siege, our sponsor's Mulgari Automotive Ltd and of course our chosen charity, The Royal Navy and Royal Marine Children's Fund, we would like to say thank you for your kind donation.

The money raised by this year’s event goes directly to the charity and they have some amazing schemes which will put it to good use.

Arriving at the castle

Leeds Castle will be hosting this year’s show once again and despite the name the castle is actually located in Kent. The castle can be found 7 miles East of Maidstone, just off junction 8 of the M20 motorway.

The castle is clearly sign posted from all routes with the usual brown tourist signs. If you hit water turn around and head back the way you came.

The main castle entrance is located on Penfold Hill, just off the Ashford Road (A20). There are several entrances to the castle so please ensure you head the the main gate, if you are using Satnav for directions please use the following address:

Leeds Castle,
Maidstone,
Kent,
ME17 1PL.

Timings:

We are asking all drivers displaying their vehicles to arrive at the main gate from 07:45hrs and before the cut-off point at 09:30hrs.

The cut-off point is very important as we have to have all cars parked up and the displays signed off by the H&S team from the castle prior to the public being allowed into the grounds. After 09:30hrs, any cars arriving will be asked to park in the external public car park.

Display Passes:

This is the fun bit. We ask all vehicles to head straight to the castle in the morning through the main public gate. Inside you will be met by our team who will be directing you to an allocated space inside the public car park where you will be given your car pass.

To speed up this process, when you spot your first staff member wearing a neon pink hi-vis vest, we simply ask you to shout out as loud as you can which stand you are displaying on. You cannot be too loud, they will not be offended. With phenomenal speed and the agility and grace of a new born giraffe, they will then direct you to the correct staging area.

When your stand is fully grouped, all passes now on display, we will then have you move into the castle grounds where you will be assisted to park up on your stands by our team.

This sounds complicated but it has proven a great way to get the cars in and onto the castle green in a controlled and timely fashion.

Security/Safety:

Once you are parked up please make sure you take all sensible measures to secure your vehicle. We anticipate around 6000 members of the public to attend, so make sure all valuable and attractive items are safe at all times.

As per the initial instructions forwarded to you (either via your clubs, forum or directly) we have asked all drivers to honour the rules laid down by the castle, the likes of no revving of engines, no sound systems to be used etc.

If you have any issues during the day that needs our input, please approach a member of our team. As stated they will be easy to spot wearing the pink hi-vis vests.

Should there be any incidents we will be asking all drivers to return to their vehicles to await further instructions.

End of day:

At 16:30hrs we will be controlling the exit of all vehicles, so please be patient, the guys and girls in pink will try to get everybody out as quickly as possible whilst making sure visitors remain intact and traffic does not bottle neck on the main roads.

As per our previous shows, there will be an opportunity to arrange shots of your cars to be taken with the castle as the back drop. This will be controlled once again by our team and is on a first come first served basis and you are allocated a small amount of time before you will be asked to move on. If you wish to stay behind and take part, please approach our staff at the site office (next to the food traders) to register interest prior to 16:00hrs.

We will of course be updating all of our social media feeds, forums and other outlets with details as they come in over the next 2 weeks and we will send out another email on the Friday before the show to confirm the above.

Should you have any questions that are not covered by the above email, please feel free to email us directly.

We cannot wait to welcome you to the Siege.

Kind regards,

Ross Thomson
