I always go on my own to all events, well me and my son. Only usually go to shows for an hour get bored go back home again. Best motors are in carpark like going to show seeing new stuff .

I'll be going past Tesco in Ashby for around 0830hrs? Which motor you going in? Convoy sounds like a good idea. Mines on the club stand, yours?

M1 Junction 2121a Leicester Forest East Leicester LE3 3GBEdit details
0116 238 6801

Meeting at this point would only be a short 15min convoy, but perhaps better than nothing if no one else poses interest? :undecided:

Having only just realised how close I am to it I will be hitting the M1 after the A46, about 2miles before those services.

What time then cos apparently they like any club stand cars to be on the stand by 0900hrs?
Title: Re: meet up for gti international east mids area ??
Post by: matping on 11 June 2012, 07:49
looks like a early 1 guys  :grin:   yes i can do leicester forest east   get there for 9am and get located onto the stand then !! its looking like  about 7.45 - 8am  at  services !

just thinking i may of made a boo boo!  i always pay on the gate for my tickets  that aint a problem its the stand ticket  any ideas if i can get this on the gate ?
Title: Re: meet up for gti international east mids area ??
Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 11 June 2012, 16:54
The gate passes had to be bought by the 8th i think? If we left the services for 0900hrs and then the show ground is only fifteen minutes away, can't imagine they'll be bothered by quarter of an hour?

Post by: mcgee9t2 on 11 June 2012, 19:07
club stand you must be there for 9 because thats when they start letting the public in i belive.

and you cant buy club stand passes on the gate as they have to sort out spaces for everyone.

That settles it then, leave the services by 0840hrs, show ground for 0855hrs?

No worries mate, might have been my mistake. As I left the car park two mmk4 R32' pulled in and I nearly turned around. I was worried about being too late for the club stand entry but as it turns out I could've arrived at anytime. Saw the motors in the car park and they we all looking nice!
