Hi everyone, I am getting a few queries regarding the Club Stand Passes. As you can all appreciate, I have stepped into this at the last minute. A request for passes HAS been sent to Santa Pod and I am awaiting a reply. Please bear with me, it's all new ground for me. It may be a case of distributing the passes at the event, if they do not arrive in time? Regards, Pete In the past the Pod have usually been amenable to having the passes left at the office to the left of the entrance gates for collection by members on the day. You park up, go to the window and give your username and club and the nice lady gives you your stand pass. Then just buy your entrance ticket at the gate as normal. It can be a bit of a chore organising a club stand, dude, especially if you've never done it. Trying to get people to commit and then post out twenty passes, then have people drop out and others jump in and want a pass, and you just posted the last one to someone who now can;t make it.... ...easier to give Donna at the Pod a ring and ask if she can sort getting them left for collection at the gate

Can we still add to the list and pick up passes at the gate on the day? If so, I'd like to add myself with my Granada and Roshambow with his Morris Minor (and an old pic of both cars as well)

Yes, Fine by me!! Two totally classic and Retro motors. Had a 2.3 Mk11 Granny back in the day, whilst my mate had the 2.8 version. Neither of them ever let us down, with the 2.8 getting us to Munich and back!! As for Moggy Minors, Malc Longstaff should have his 3.9 V8 at this event. Believe me, it's damn quick!!!
Roll on the weekend!!!
Pete

UPDATE UPDATE
Greetings again everyone!!!
Well, e-mails have been flying back and forth between myself and Santa Pod, and as luckyseven suggested, the club passes will have to collected at the gate (thanks for that mate!!). It would appear that my application landed on some-one else's desk, other than Donna's!!!
So, some details need to be finalised, which I hope to post up tomorrow, then it's full steam ahead for the weekend. I WILL post up my mobile number as well, for anyone who needs to contact me direct. There is one thing that I do need help with, that is there doesn't appear to be any Retro Rides logos or banners available that we can use. If there is anyone out there that can assist with this dilemma, please could you let me know!! Well, the long range weather forecast for Sunday looks good, so let's hope for clear skies and happy times?
Regards, Pete

Bob if they don't have any spare I do got the GFB stand. Brilliant, thanks Nath. Might have a Turbo MX-5 coming along too. That's a VERY handy back up plan. Cheers mate!
