Directions
Be careful if you have a TOMTOM. Mine sent me to the castle via small country lanes.

What's going to happen:
We'll be parking the cars around the Castle. It will be an opportunity to meet and chat with other owners and enthusiasts.

Invited:
Various supercars and sports cars.

Parking availability for supercars:
We can accommodate around 100 cars around Castle itself (see map below). If that gets filled out, then additional cars will be parked along the main driveway and on the grass by the lake . So it pays to get there early if you can.

Parking for other cars
There is parking available for visitors in the Castle grounds.

What if it rains
The grass area around the castle has very good drainage, so even if it rains the ground will be firm. Teh weather forcast is dry for sunday so rain shouldn't be an issue.

VISIT THE CASTLE
The Castle Keep will be open to visitors on the day and access is included in the entrance fee. Please feel free to take a tour around the building.


IMPORTANT PARKING WARNING
Please be careful when driving on the grass as there are a few dips in the grounds which can cause low cars a problem. I've driven my Ferrari 348 around it and not had a problem. But drive slowly.


NOTICES - Please ensure you read the following

1. Please do not wheelspin on the grass on purpose.
2. No leaflets are to be handed out or placed on cars unless they have permission from the organisers. Anyone found doing so may be asked to pick them up and then asked to leave the Castle grounds.
3. Please listen to the Marshals. They are there to help you.
4. All Marshals are doing this for free and sacrificing their time to ensure that everybody enjoys themselves on the day. Anyone disrespecting the Marshals in anyway will be ejected from the grounds immediately.

If you have any problems
Please contact one of the Marshals who are wearing the fluorescent vests.

------------------------------------------

Convoys to the Castle
I believe there may be some groups leaving for the Castle from various locations, one of them being Brentwood. Others will post up details shortly. If not, why not organise your own convoy.

Hope you enjoy the day with us.
