Ok, we've got 5 confirmed and some maybes. So I've just emailed asking for a 7 car stand. If we end up with more than 7 attending they can go in the general retro, like James and I did last year, and still feel part of the show :)

Confirmed:

Steve-A
Silverarrow
KiwiDave
Marc S
Ian65


So they should deliver the stand passes to me at some stage, and we'll plan a meet up point from there.

I suggest booking tickets online as it's cheaper and quicker/easier to get in.

Nice one Steve - will we have passes, or just tell them on the gate who we're with?

Anyone else heading up the night before and staying at a hotel? Be nice to get together, maybe enjoy some dinner and a few beers :)

There will be passes, they will be posted to me and I guess we could arrange a rendezvous somewhere near the venue to share them out or something :)

I don't think you can buy day tickets yet, think they go on sale in the next couple of weeks. Will keep an eye on the site.

I live about 20 miles from Prescot and could well be up for a bit of a drive out and a pint the night before. :)

Just seen on the retrorides website, that there's some other guys with old Mazdas looking to organise a stand. The idea was suggested that there's a general all the Mazdas grouped together area. Our stand may get absorbed into that which is fine by me, but I did say it would be cool if we could keep the rotaries together within that.
