Guys hopefully all tickets turn up. BUT.. There is a plan B. Jay has posted this over on the OC >>>

OK, we have a contingency plan in place if this goes belly up. I have spoke to the organisers who are willing to post out any missing tickets to ensure they are there on time. This is a last chance solution obviously but we do have a plan b in place.

Haven't had chance to confront the post office yet but I do I tend to


So worst come to worst we should be ok and still get tickets, but I really hope everyone manages to get them from the sorting offices.

I went to my local sorting office to collect another parcel and I asked on the off chance if there was another item with postage to pay...and there it was!! No card through my door!

If tickets have not come through its worth a trip to your local SO to see if its languishing in a corner somewhere.

The queue was horrendous at mine....50 minutes spent in line!!

Wouldn't be the same without the occasional drizzle and whiff of cannabis. Hope they sort that out this year.

Sorry if this has been discussed and I've missed it, but what time do we have to be at Castle Combe? Usually earlier if on a club stand, am I right?

From previous experience, if your on a club stand people have gotten in from about 5.30am. I think public is 9.30am though the queues start from 7am.

You want to get to the gates by 7-7.30am, you will die in the queues otherwise.

We're staying at a local PI, as it's only 5 miles to the circuit, will be leaving there about 6.30am I think to setup.

Officially club entry is from 6am (though you may be able to get in a little earlier), all cars are supposed to be in and sited by 9am.

Can't make it now, on call and no one to cover. Thought I'd put the date in ages ago for the rota but obvious was f'in ignored.

Had enough. :evil:

Who wants my ticket. :cry:

ETA: Not actually got the ticket yet, so amend to 'who wants it if it ever arrives?'

Entry by 7am means leaving at 5am and waking up at 4.30am after a birthday party the night before hmmm 8)

Generally do people just get up early or stay somewhere close the night before?

p.s. anyone driving from London/along the M4?
