Sorry, should have made it clearer: the link I posted is just for those coming from Kent. I have changed the thread title. We're planning to head direct to the circuit. I have no idea what folks from other parts have in mind.

There will be an optional pre-meet, but I most likely won't be there as we need people to get there early to direct parking. That's probably going to be me and Dan (from IMOC).

If you get there before myself or Dan, please don't leave your car until we get there - at the moment we don't know how big our plot is so we don't know how tightly we will need to squeeze in. Last year it was not roomy.

Anyone with track time booked needs to let us know when you arrive so we can ensure you have a route out for your track time.

VOLUNTEER WANTED!

Need someone to take care of the optional pre-meet. Last year we met at the Tesco nearby and drove in - https://goo.gl/maps/7iUBSVrmL4z - I will be aiming to get there earlier to direct parking for the MR2 stand.

I would suggest pre-meet at 8am, leave at 8.15am. We were 30 mins earlier than that last year but the traffic wasn't bad at all so I don't think that'll be necessary.

All you'll be required to do is to get to the Tesco car park and get people moving at around 8.15am.

Angelo has very kindly volunteered to look after the premeet - look for the guy with the grey V6 Mk1 MR2.

Note: The pre-meet is entirely optional, last year we had about 20 or so cars meet up beforehand.

Location: Tesco Towcester NN12 6PF
Link: https://goo.gl/maps/7iUBSVrmL4z
Arrival time: 0800
Leave time: 0815

They won't be waiting around for people after 0815 so if you're running late, just go straight there and meet us on the stand.

Of course. The usual Haribo. :)
You'll have to wait until you're at the circuit though.
No point in me driving past the circuit to get to Tesco.

Shame the pre-meet at Tesco is out of our way coming from the south east.

It's only a few miles out. The fastest route (not the most direct) is usually to take the M1 and and across on the A43 because those roads are faster than coming off early and going cross country. If you take the fastest route Google suggests, you'll drive right past that Tesco. The difference between the fastest (which goes past the Tesco) and most direct is matter of less than 10 miles. If you take the A5 instead it's only a few miles further up the A5 to that roundabout anyway.

We've used this location for 2 years now - it works well because it's close enough to the circuit, on a main road, and has a large enough car park. other clubs use it as well.

Did I mention it's *completely optional*? :bleh:
