VR6Pete 0 Posted October 23, 2013 Hi, I just wanted to send you a quick update regarding the V6 Festival taking place this Saturday @ Brooklands Motorsport Museum! What time does it start? The gates open at brooklands at 10:00am. There are various meeting points / convoys taking place, please check vr6oc.com and r32oc.com for details. Banked track group photos Brooklands advised us a couple days ago that we will only be allowed to take 60 cars onto the banked track or pay an additional £500 (!!), but for this years event we do not have the budget to do this unfortunately, however the issue we have is that that 80+ cars have registered before we we advised of this change from when we first booked the event with the venue, so to gauge interest we would like to know who is interested in taking part in the banked track photo then please fill out the following form http://form.jotformeu.com/form/32956160679364 to indicate if you are wanting to take part in the group photo or not. We will issue 60 passes on the day should the demand be greater than we have have allocated to us, however I am still trying to negotiate with the venue to allow us more cars on. Due to health and safely regulations, the group photo will only take place should the weather allow (keep those fingers crossed) and there will be cost of (£10 payable to Brooklands) per car who wishes to take part in the group photo session, each session will run approximately for 30 minutes. *** If anyone has some photography / video skills who can capture the day then please get in touch *** What are the show and shine categories? The show categories are as follows: Best wheels Best interior Best engine bay Car of the show Runner up car of the show And maybe one more!! :) The VR6OC team will be judging the cars in the early afternoon with trophy and prize presentations around 3:00 - 3:30 (times are subject to change depending upon weather conditions). What are the prizes? We have made some awesome VR6/R32 head gasket style trophies for the above categories and in addition, we also have the following prizes sponsored by KleenFreaks for the winners. Shampoo Quick Detailer KF stickers What does it cost? Adult £10.00 Senior Citizen/Student £9.00 Children (5-16) £5.50 Children under 5 FREE Family ticket £27.00 Group Photo £10/car How to get here? The Museum is between Weybridge and Byfleet, just a few minutes from Junction 10 of the M25 and the A3 London-Portsmouth trunk road. Leave the A3 at the Painshill junction and follow the A245 towards Byfleet - look out for the brown Brooklands Museum™ signs. The main visitor entrance is reached via Brooklands Drive and Mercedes-Benz World. The postcode for satnavs is KT13 0SL. PLEASE USE THE CAMPBELL ENTRANCE OFF BROOKLANDS ROAD Did someone say cake? In celebration of the clubs 10th Birthday we will be brining large quantities of complementary cake, hand made by us finished with our club logo cake toppers!

No problems guys, was a fantastic day, I've not long got in, popped over to the merc place too after. Hope you liked trophies and cakes. [ATTACH]76164[/ATTACH] What a car! P.S - anyone who went on the banked track and didn't pay will need to PayPal me the money as in currently. £110 out of pocket :) cheers guys.

chazrad 0 Posted October 27, 2013 Pete did a great job today. It was a super day out and a as Harrier has said, good to catch up with some familiar faces. Some nice cars there too. Got my daily Mk3 on the banking. Some people left early and forgot about having to pay to park on the banking and poor Pete is now out of pocket. I hope they get the message they need to pay up soon.

I missed the banking and didn't get my car on there. But I did originally say I was going to. So if I owe anything then Pete please pm me and I'll forward it.
