I saw Kev and Shrew today, and we all fancied a trip to this if anyone else is interested.

I assume sat or sun would suit most, it's £20 in advance with free parking.

We go every year - it's a really good event! It's usually freezing cold given the time of year so one tip would be to wrap up - it gets pretty cold in some of those cow sheds at Stoneleigh! The main buildings are heated and fine - it's usually the shed where all the bits and pieces are for sale that is sub-zero!

Never too many Alfa's there but the Integrale owners club usually have a stand with multiple cars.

The entry fee is great, but i can see it becoming very expensive once in some parts halls!

I'm looking forward to it :lol:

quick reminder to anyone still thinking of going and hasn't bought advanced tickets, I've just tonight remembered and done it online, 2 tickets which saves almost £10 compared to on the gate prices so worth doing.

so rob & me will be there whatever comes now, I've paid for the tickets so we're coming :D

I have 2 spare tickets for this event now for Sunday, if anyone wants one then send me a pm with a contact number.

Only ask is that you would need to be there for 9am Sunday to hand them over as it opens at 9:30 and I will be going in as soon as it opens so no hanging around.

Thanks.

Sounds a good idea. I have no idea of the layout and order of the day.
I am sure the refreshments will all be together so at 11:00 I will hang around for a bit trying to look "Alfa'ish".
Any other ideas anyone?

If it's the same as previous years there are eating areas inside and just one burger van outside so would suggest being at the outside one next to the pit area / go cart set up point.
See ya at 11.00 :D

Would suggest 10.30 latest which would allow us to get a good place to watch from
