MODIFIED LIVE 28th JUNE BRANDS HATCH

I have just checked the web site, Event Timetable yet to be confirmed.

I reckon we should meet at M25/M20 somewhere around 07.30 to 08.00
What you all reckon?

[SpecB]

Gates open at 0930 and junction 3 of M25/M20 is about 10 mins from Brands

So my suggestion is we meet at Junction 3 at 830 to leave for 845 to get there early.

This would mean leaving PP by 8 so arrive PP from 745 onwards to fit stickers!

This is all my own guesswork and having never done the drive myself if anybody has any better timings please let me know!

We met about 8.30 to 9 last year i believe, and it was a case of queueing for bloomin ages.
I reckon meet at 08.00 by time we all get together and cruise the couple of miles to brands it will be 08.30.

Takes about 30mins from PP

[SpecB]

So be at PP by 700 to leave PP by 715 to be at M25/20 by 745 leave at 815-830?

[Steve_PPP]

So PP at 7am?

Fine with me, should be a good day out (lets hope the sun in shining!)

7am sounds good for a 7-20 leaving time, 30-40 minute easy drive to meet the others

[666subaru]

Yep 7am sticker fitting and meet up is good, bring it on. yes easy drive as im limited

[BIG"E"]

As regards to the timings:

I am waiting for the booking confirmation. Which will contain entrance details.

Then we will know what the entrance arrangements are,

as we will have our own stand I have no doubt they will let us in before the general public.

Personaly when going to Brands I never go in at the main entrance, I use the Paddock Entrance which is always much better !!

They did not let us in early last year,We did have an area to park reserved thats all..

Paddock entrance is good with me.

We will wait to hear from you mate,once you get confirmation.

[Hongkongfooi]

7am good for me and paddock entrance. Can I make an early request to not be boxed in when we get there as I will probably have to leave before the rest of you?

Ta
Tim

P/P at 0700 hrs is good for me. Just ordered my S.E.S T-shirt, so fingers crossed will be here for the day.

Ok will try and see then, cheers Phil

[SpecB]

It's looking good - I'll see you all at 700 at PP - with the coilovers fitted!

Game On!

[Mortster]

Those travelling from the T-Wells are, remember that after 5+ years of it being ****e, the A26 out of the town is totally closed for re-sufacing, so you'll have to head towards Pembury and pick up the A21 from there.

[Hongkongfooi]

Times to be confirmed

[BIG"E"]

I have just recieved the following e-mail:

Hi,

We have you ticket application here but, at this late stage, we cannot guarantee delivery even by First Class post Recorded Delivery. We have arranged instead for your tickets to be available for collection at the main entrance to Brands Hatch on Sunday at Modified Live any time between 7:30 am and 10:00 am.

Thank you and see you at Brands!
John


What I suggest is that we meet at the place Crowman has posted and then go to the main entrance.

If there isnt a queue we can go straight through the main entrance, if there is a big queue I will walk to the ticket office pick up the tickets and then we can all go round to the PADDOCK ENTRANCE.

I would suggest we meet at the meeting point at 07.50 to leave at 08.00 am

Would it be wise to meet at pp at 6.45am then and leave at 7.10ish

[C. J.]

Would it not be wiser that you call in on the way to the meeting point and pick tickets up rather than 20 + scoobs turning up with out tickets ?

Good point

OK i agree with Big E about meeting time at M25 junction, Also agree with Baz about meeting time at PP,time to put user name stickers on, And also agree with C.J about collecting tickets.
Ian could you possibly shoot down to the main entrance its only a couple of miles, that way we can all go in via paddock.

So basically i AGREE

There's a good chance the paddock entrance will be closed, it was last time.
It may be better to come in from the other direction, as last time the que from that way was only a few cars

[BIG"E"]

NEW MEETING TIME.!!!

I have decided to change the meeting time to 07.10amTo leave at 07.20 SHARP!!

The meeting place is marked on the map posted by Crowman

The reason for this is that last year it was utter chaos trying to get in,

considering that I can't get the tickets until 07.30, arriving there when it opens it will reduce the queueing time.


If any of you will find it difficult to get there 40 minutes earlier please PM me and I will do my best to accommodate you.

[Steve_PPP]

thats fine with me, as long as theres somewhere to get bacon butties for breakfast once we're inside

No problem with the breakfast full english available inside

This means 6am meet PP, leave at 06.15 up with the larks

[Steve_PPP]

Good news on the breakfast then

At that time of the morning, it should only take half an hour to get from PP to the M25/M20 junction (its 34 miles), even at a nice steady 70mph. Leave PP at 6:30am?

[666subaru]

What............................ 6am at PP, this means Ill have to get up at 5.45am to get there

[SpecB]

I can be at PP by 6am but expect no more than a grunt from me! And can somebody make sure I don't put my sticker on upside down! I'm at the 6th form ball at Goodwood until 12 on Sat night and will have to leave at 5:15 to get up to PP.

If we get there at 7:30 what's the earliest we will be let in, I thought gates were 9:30?

[Scooby Si]

The gates open at 9.30 to the general public.... Club stands can arrive from 7.30....

I'm there with another club so I'll pop over and say hi at some point!

[SpecB]

That's cool, didn't fancy sitting outside for 2 hours!

[Scott.T]

All sounds a bit early to me, especialy as am bringing my 8 year old son along.......
He's not gonna be too happy standing around for 2 1/2 hours until the track action starts at 10:00.
Let alone having to get up at 5:45am.

My thoughts too if big E wont go and pick them up on his own then I'm happy to get there for 7.30 pick tickets up and meet peeps at the meeting point for the original time . Although I'm not the meet organizer !

Its not a question of me not picking the tickets up its a question of GETTING IN !!!!.

LAST YEAR WE QUEUED FOR OVER AN HOUR IF YOU REMEMBER.

I HAVE ALSO SAID IF ANYONE HAS A PROBLEM TO PM ME AND I WILL TRY TO ACCOMODATE THEM

[SpecB]

OK who's meeting at PP?

We still going for meeting at 6 to leave at 6:15/20 after a mass stickering session?

[Hongkongfooi]

What about a compromise....actually get to the gate at 8.15 which will still beat the queues, meet at PP at 7am, get to the 2nd meeting point at 745? Or is it too late to change all this now?

[SUBARMAN]

Ian.
Will meet you at the meeting point just off the M25 junction. I will call you before 7.30 if our flight plan is disrupted for any reason.

Keith
