Does sound like a plan, assuming they will let you in without a standPass.

For safety, and so we can go in as a group (which always looks good if nothing else!) there is the services on the roundabout, though how many people will have the same idea I'm not sure, it's not huge. Meeting in the pub worked well last year (and I promise I won't drive into you this year buddy :oops: :oops: )

Update from Yesterday:
Retro Rides Gathering 2009 24 hours (ish) before preshow tickets stop and we all turn into pumpkins (or you need to get a ticket on the gate...) As soon as the wrist bands arrive from Haynes we'll be sending the tickets out.
Yesterday at 14:10
I have e-mailed them about the stand for 10 cars, no response yet. i will get them to confirm

There maybe another space going, if I can tax n mot and get insurance for ASSet then I'm there but that's a hell of a lot of cash in 3 weeks. So dont wait for me.
