300-series meet - Brooklands Museum - Sunday 13th May

Post by foggyjames » 18 Mar 2018 05:23 pm

Join us for the first of hopefully a series of more regular 300-series meetings, beyond the annual events we've held for the last few years. To kick things off, we revisit the Brooklands Museum (primarily containing aviation and early motorsport exhibits), the venue for our 2013 'national' 300-series event. We will aim, once again, to park in the paddock area in front of the museum.

All are welcome, but it would be good to get as many 300s there as possible. If you plan to attend, please reply to this thread We should be able to get a group discount rate (£12.50) for entry to the museum, but this typically relies on more than 15 people attending. The standard entry fee is £15. If you haven't visited before, it's an extensive collection, and well worth the entry fee.

cheers

That's great news :)

I imagine that access will be via the "back entrance" - https://goo.gl/maps/eL6DnuiVX2R2

Well, in fairness, the other gates are only 5 minutes away, so I wouldn't let that put you off a 500km drive...!

But yes, I can officially confirm that access will be via Brooklands Road. We have a location for a line-up in the "motoring village" section, rather than the paddock. They've relocated us, as there's also a large Rolls Royce event on that day. It's still very much in the thick of things, though!
