 i have a season ticket........ but id like to do the parde lap

 So how do we get tickets please? The time's fast approaching and I don't want to turn up just to be turned away, or given the runaround.

Ticket distribution, due to the short time scales, will probably be just outside the gate, by a Club representative at a specified time.  Currently I would like to hear from a volunteer willing to do that.  Means making sure you collect tickets earlier in morning  from Ma5da rep, then committing to be on the gate for 15 -20 minutes to hand out, probably about 9.30 ish before things get going.  If you are keen we can publicise a second time for late comers. 

Sorry for short notice all round on this one, unavoidable unfortunately,  but hopefully we can make it worth while.

We have worked comp. ticket distribution this way before and it works well. I will be first come first served, but we will obviously give priority to those who have registered interest on here.

As it stands Northants area AC and me both have other Club commitments on that day, plus lots of our members, otherwise we would sort it out ourselves for you all.

Count me in on this one please, and I'll have my lovely better half with me too! For those who are on Twitter as well say hi to @charlie_george as she'll be doing the coverage of the MX5 races. You'll find me as @girlygeekdom on twitter but I tend to talk geeky rather than cars there! :P I know what I'll be doing prior to Sunday! (car cleaning time! :P so long as you'll let me come along that is! x)

 I can be at Silverstone on Sunday at about 9am-ish.  I'll issue the tickets (including to myself) if you let me know what to do/where to go.

I could also do similar at Rockingham on the 30th.
