Silverstone Biggie Weekend June 13/14/15

[SWMG Admin]

Hi all, well things are shaping up nicely for this weekend June 13/14/15th.

I will be going up Friday this year and calling in Symonds Yatt Road Cafe 10 miles from Monmouth for late Brekkie about 11am, i'm camping this year and dare say will meet a few of you who's also coming up the Friday, The Friday is mainly a set up day for traders plus some racing heats.

I'm asking for a few volunteers who can spare 2 hours on the Saturday and/or Sunday to help marshal Register Car park/Arena etc,if you do volunteer please state whether you would prefer outside(ie parking) or inside (ie Arena Main tent) or no pref thanks, if you would like to do this that would be great, Myself and Evelyn already down on list. so if you fancy helping out for a couple of hours on 1 or both days please put your names down below and i will add on Register forum, there will be a roster sheet drawn up with your time/s and given out to all volunteers when all names are in,if any volunteers from here i will get to you when i see them,thanks again, Dave

Hi De Hi Campers

Hi all next Thursday/Friday the latest i am sending in my application form to Silverstone booking up my camping plot and also booking the sunday morning circuit drive £15 worth every penny ;D

anyway i was just wondering and up to you but if any of you would fancy campng near to be sort of together if you would like to fill in your forms add your cheques or whatever and post to me by next Thursday i will send them off together and ask Jean at MGCC HQ to keep us close, otherwise book when your ready and i'm in General camping area, Andrew P is sending me his form this weekend.even if you don't i doubt we will be that far apart anyway so don't worry,if you do and need my address pm me,but make sure your forms are complete and with me by Thurs,Dave

There is a BBG at Silverstone this year for £15 , i'm not sure what you get and if value for money so not risking it, Andrew and i doing our own bbq and any SWMGFer is welcome to join us for little party outside our tents, just bring your bbq's,food & drinkies, will be popping pop into Towcester 4 miles up road to supermarket Sat afternoon for fresh grub you can follow me if you dare ha ha.

why am i booking this early? to make sure i get a place on Sunday Morning Circuit drive with F as sometimes these sell out very quick as limited and so popular even more so now that they are back.

Hi Dave,

so far as I know camping places aren't allocated, but may pay to whoever gets there first to reserve some?

Circuit laps are great (despite it being no overtaking some tasser in an MGB dived up my inside as I entered a corner!). Did parade laps at Donnington on Monday - hit 80 on the stright at one point.

[colintf]

last years BBQ only became good value at the point of the second helping of food

the entertainment was....entertaining!

dave what's the form i have to fill in?

[SWMG Admin]

Col when you send your form in and pre book you will get back from MGCC a camping plot number, you can't just pitch where you like,well thats the way it was 2 years ago when last there and all the years before

Grant the form was in this and last months MGCC Mag Safety Fast, i don't know why Silverstone booking form is not yet on MGCC website i will ring Jean MGCC Sec tomorrow sometime when i get home and had a kip from taking Evelyn to Heathrow and see whats what,,stay tuned

Things now settled down and i know Karens shifts will be going to silverstone on the friday. add names to list for help inside or out. Think lizzie has persuaded karen to camp. where do we acces forms for camping and sunday morning drive.

[SWMG Admin]
