Stand passes on are their way to me. You guys will need to collect yours from me in order to get from the 'general' area to the '300 pimp-haus'. I can either post them out to you, or I can hover by the gate and hand them over as you arrive.

cheers

Why don't we just meet up at the boozer in standard "V3M goes to Gaydon" style?

I got both my car pass and all the stand passes (A4 posters) today. That pub in Gaydon (left at the mini roundabout...can't miss it) sounds like a good idea...

Got a time in mind?

cheers

Hmmm, lets see if this works...

Tarmac on left == pub car park, on right is a petrol station, so you can't miss it. Off M40, follow to Gaydon, at mini roundabout go left, and 200yds down!

On those lines, whose heading up from the south?

Buggerance.

I've been rather absent lately so it looks like I won't be joining you lot. Got my ticket but it'll be too late now to snag a stand pass. :?
At least it'll be easy to find you lot tho. :)

Still undecided at to if I can make it or not yet, might be able to make some time to call by and see what is going on, probably won't be in a 300, unless I decide to clean the vario and give it a run out.

Been on to David and he's added a car to our allocation. I'll have to see him in person when I get there, but I can try to make it to the pub to meet you lot.
