To get on the IMOC stand you only need to drive to it once you've paid entry :wink:

Would be nice to know of numbers before hand though.

Basically we need to know there's enough interest to attend. Then we need some keen person who wants to attend to agree to take the lead on organising it.

OK Guys apparently the only spaces left are at Quarry corner. This is a nice place to watch the track action, but miles from the trade stands tucked away in a corner behind hundreds of subarus.

If peeps still want to go contact me immediately as we need to book the next few days.

You get a maximum of one car pass with one advanced ticket (if you see what I mean)

Here's where Quarry corner is:

Hi All,

Have we actually got a stand booked for this ?

I only ask as a few of my freinds from other clubs have not been able to book any space.

We have the option, but tbh we don't really have enough people who want to go.

Hi Paul,

This event has been posted for about 7 weeks. We haven't had much interest shown to be honest. But the event has outgrown itself and there aren't many spaces left already. The organiser stated last week that a 10 car stand at Quarry Corner (away from the pits) was still available (providing we book immediately)

Hence Toni asked for interest and we've had very little back..... :(

Just 'cos there may be no stand doesn't mean it couldn't be a good IMOC meet though :D

Hello guys,

Could someone please clarify the situation with this meet/stand and what we have to do get tickets if there is a stand or just to enter if there isn`t a stand.

I am very interested in going as it may be the only one I get to attend this year.

I would put my car on the Imoc stand if was is arranged or would be happy just to meet others.

Cheers, Lewis.

Hi Lewis,

To summarise: The event was posted a couple of months ago. Based on interest a decision would have been taken whether or not to have an official stand or not. We haven't had much interest and hence a stand has not been booked.

Problem is the show gets fully booked very quickly. Last week there was only space available at Quarry Corner. Toni posted asking if anyone still wants to have a stand and again not much feedback :(

So no there isn't a stand booked. If there's a sudden rush of interest we can try and see if space is available, but I doubt there will be.

Lewis,

Since we don't have enough commitment or interest at the moment it looks unlikely that we will be booking a stand. Therefore I'd book yourself a ticket online or by phone. It will cost you £11 as opposed to £14 on the gate. Nearer the time more firm details will be posted as to meeting up / convoying etc..

Paul,

I've entered the usernames together with their locations so that at a later date convoys can be arranged.

James (Bender Unit) whereabouts are you?
Malcolm (Tiamat) ditto.

Me and Dave C are Bristol - going to see if I can persuade Rich U and Ian M to come along. All Bristol based. We have a good place for meeting before going into CC which would be worth using again as it means everyone can get to it with relative ease.

I am happy to scope out a pub for afterwards if people are interested?
