New Year’s Day Gathering - Brooklands

[Neil]

Brian, seems you were correct, the museum called me back, as the event has become more popular, the museum have started to reserve areas behind the hangar, I have provisionally booked 10 places, we can add to that if required.   Gates open from 9.30am, entrance from Brooklands Road, pre 1973 cars get a £1 off the entrance fee.

Can I suggest you send me an email (surreylancia@ntlworld.com) if you would like to come along to gauge numbers and I can arrange further spaces if required.

Brian, I don't remember booking last time, I have left a message with the museum to check.

Thanks Neil,
perhaps it's me getting events mixed up

Well, at the moment the weather's looking ok for next Saturday so might try and make this one as the Fulvia hasn't been run since June! do we know how many want to attend?

[Neil]

I guess attendance will be weather dependant, as the snow and ice is going and hopefully the salt off the roads too, may be we might get 6+ I have booked 10 places for the club, the more the merrier!

Thanks to all who attended the event today at Brooklands, a fine turn out of 12 Lancias in all, a great collection, sorry about the drizzle we had a for a while, otherwise a good turn out, only 2 Alfas and no Fiats - very odd!

Jonathan and I very much enjoyed the event even if we travelled home courtesy of the AA once again! Modestine disgraced herself by boiling as we arrived and again a mile or two into the homeward journey.

Robin.

Robin, sorry to hear you required the services of the AA yesterday, I hope it just a minor radiator clean/flush that is required, good news on that spare head gasket!
