Unless you meet up before hand and all arrive together
Re: BMWCCGB Zedfest, 26 – 28 July 2013, Silverstone Circuit
Just for info guys and gals, a small group of us have asked to park up together for logistical reasons.
We will have a huge supply of tea and coffee and home made cakes and are hoping that loads of people will come over and have a chat, a cuppa and a piece of cake with us. We have some tables, stoves and whistling kettles but if you're bringing one too - then feel free to bring it over and join in and we can have one big tea party
We will have a charity collection box for anyone that wishes to make a donation (this has been approved by BMWCCGB) and will be splitting any monies raised between Help for Heroes and Freemans in Newcastle ( a childrens heart/lung transplant hospital).
If anyone wants to bring a cake to boost the supply it would be most welcome and if you're coming over for a cuppa - it would be great if you could bring your own cup too if you have one.
We're all looking forward to chatting to old friends and new.
I am not a member of any other BMW/Zed related forum so if anyone wants to post this elsewhere then feel free - the more the merrier

Re: BMWCCGB Zedfest, 26 – 28 July 2013, Silverstone Circuit
I'm slightly confused about whether there's an area for this forum, as I can't see it on the map above?
I also wondered about making a small sign with our screen-names on to put in the windscreen - I'd be interested to see which cars belong to who.

Re: BMWCCGB Zedfest, 26 – 28 July 2013, Silverstone Circuit
You can't see it because there isn't specifically an area for zroadster.net - nobody asked for one. Those of us that aren't particular about who we park next to will be lined up in the BMWCCGB area (that's the area marked BMW xx SPACES)BladeRunner919 wrote:I'm slightly confused about whether there's an area for this forum, as I can't see it on the map above?

Re: BMWCCGB Zedfest, 26 – 28 July 2013, Silverstone Circuit
- Update 20 July -
Due to a late change by the Silverstone Classic organisers we've had to revise the BMWCCGB layout. I've taken the opportunity to incorporate feedback received to date and the club has settled on the layout outlined in the diagram below.
Overall circuit plan (BMWCCGB between the numbers 8 and 12 on the diagram, note that the pink/purple area is tarmac, the blue area is grass):
This is how we will arrange the BMWCCGB area and the supporting forums on the Saturday:
We will marshal participant's cars on each of the days as follows:
Friday
Selected cars plus first come first served on the ‘BMW Display’ area
MPower cars in the MPower area
Alpina cars on the Alpina area
Fill up the All BMW (14) tarmac area
Everyone else on the grass (no specific forum areas)
Saturday as per the layout diagram (MPower zeds will locate with the other zeds on the grassed area)
Sunday
E30s plus selected cars on the ‘BMW Display’ area
MPower cars in the MPower area
Alpina cars on the Alpina area
Fill up the All BMW (14) tarmac area
Everyone else on the grass (no specific forum areas)
