Phil and I have booked our tickets for the Grand Prix Masters event. Info can be found here:

http://www.silverstone-circuit.co.uk/html/ra_gpm.php

Its a decent event - a good chance to see a lot of veteran F1 drivers - Nigel Mansell for instance - at a fraction of the cost of the F1 event. There are plenty of great viewing spots around the circuit, so you are guaranteed a great view, and photo opportunity, even if you don't pay the £60 for a grandstand seat. (We haven't!)

I have spoken to the campsite we stayed at for the Supercar event, and he is happy to open the site again for us. For those of you that didn't go, this is great as we virtually had the site to ourselves, could make as much noise as we wanted, facilities were fine and its well within walking distance of the circuit. We paid £20 per pitch which is very reasonable compared to other sites in the area.

Hopefully some people will be interested, its a good chance to have a motors meet as well as a good old drinking session and natter.

Yes - I will be making jelly.

Ive booked tickets for this, just need to book the time off work, so, with any lucky ill be coming. Would be nice to meet a few OcUK members, I havent attended any OcUK meets yet, so i couldnt really so no to this one. That said camping is a bit too... erm.... outdoorsy for me, so ive booked in at the Towcester travelodge.

Cool, well at least Dreeder can meet up with us at the circuit and maybe come to the pub (if we go), or have a BBQ with us on the Sat night. :)

I've started a list in the first post - as its gonna be a meet, I guess I'd better be organised.

Richard Odell wants to be in touch a little closer to the event so that we can tell him how many tents will be there, so there is no pressure at the mo, but I might be hassling people nearer the time.
