Re: MG Brooklands 5th April
Yes it's on the Register's calendar and we'll be there with a club stand, regalia and a couple of display cars so it woud be really great to see another good turnout of F/TFs. The event has featured a growing number of Fs over the last few years and hopefully this year will see that trend continue (That is if it doesn't snow like last year !)
Entry for all MGs is via the Campbell gate on the Brooklands Road side so don't be misdirected by the brown "Brooklands museum" signs which take you around the back of Mercedes Benz World.
All the usual museum exhibits will be open as will the Test Hill if you fancy trying your F out - make sure you register early on the day for that. Concorde will be open with the Concorde Experience as will the Formula 1 exhibition and simulator. Loads to see and do and the chance to meet up with a lot of fellow Fers as well as the rest of the MG crowd.
Normal entry fees will apply which will be £9 per adult or free if you are a Brooklands Trust Member. If you are interested in becoming a member and supporting the museum (which is a registered charity) then check out www.brooklandsmembers.co.uk to download an application form or email me at members@brooklandsmuseum.com (Yes I have a vested interest as some of you know !)
Otherwise the museum site tself is www.brooklandsmuseum.com - See you there !

Re: MG Brooklands 5th April
I've just heard that 32 ZT 260's have booked in !!! Seems an awful lot to me and they've commandeered our usual spot by the garages. That means though that the F/TFs have an even bigger space to fill now between the banking and the Wellington Hanger which we'll be sharing with the Bs so we need a lot of F/TFs to outgun the Bs ! We have been doing that in recent years and as long as it's not snowing again I hope we can do that again this year.
Instructions on entry as above - looks like we'll have the Star Car there as well. Don't forget to come in via the Brooklands Road Side

Will put up a Google Earth map later to ensure you see where the entrance is. Once in, marshals will direct you to the F/TF parking area.

Just pop your start location in and be taken straight to the gate
(that's from the front page of the MGF Register under the events down the side, click on the location and you get a directions map )

Re: MG Brooklands 5th April
Change of plans, I shan't be coming now as I've been asked to get the Euros for both Chrissie and myself for our trip to Germany, so that's rather cleared my account out.
Have fun, and I hope there's less snow this year
