Pageant Of Power 2010

Post by Pete »

Can those that haven't already done so please contact me regarding the MCR display at the Pageant Of Power on July 17th/18th and let me know the preferred day they wish to attend, the reason being that POP have cut down on free tickets this year to ten cars per day, weekend tickets are now only an option if you buy the extra ticket (a discount does apply though).

Thanks

Pete

Fraid not at this stage, we just don't have sufficient tix to go round as the organisers have cut back unfortunately. For those wanting to attend both days an extra ticket will have to be purchased, using a discount code (available from me) , @ £15 from the above website.

Not as far as I know, I'll check ?

Discount code when booking online for single day paddock passes (reduced from £25 !!!! to £15 ) is POPWK119

Discount code for booking tickets for the firework concert/military tattoo (recommended !) @£15 is BCFIRE

Remember kids go free when booked in advance.

Quick update, some tickets have been posted and some haven't yet as I've not recieved them all ! :x The organisers are driving me bananas, Barrie Williams only got invited this morning on a phone message (nothing like planning ahead eh ?) and it looks like he's not going to be allowed to drive a Mini (if anything at all) though Andy Acespeed has offered his car ! :? And Gordon Spice has been ignored completely despite my offer to bring him along , though he is still coming along anyway hopefully. Sometimes I do wonder why I feckin bother. :cry:

I think they may have succeeded in attracting the general public, there's at least 10 people i've spoken to in the last 3 days going for the first time.Several of which have no interest in motorsort... :?
