8 quid to park about two miles away from the main entrance. 29 quid to get in. no debit card readers at the ticketing desks, so you have to use one of the £1.75 fleecing cash machines.

not many stands, no real bargains (I was hoping to pick up a karting helmet), the live action arena mostly sucked - this was the last time I'll go.

the BRCA / chippenham MCC display was cool though - and was drawing massive crowds.

You didn't enjoy it then :lol::lol:

I took a few dodgy pictures here...sorry if theyre a bit iffy, the hall was lit by that bizarre amber lighting that we used to have at worksop :S

The show was ok, i wouldnt have wanted to pay £37 per day to get in though!

BRCA stand was well thought out, somewhere for the public to have a go, plenty of leaflets/magazines to give out, lots of static cars for people to look at, pleny of BRCA officials and drivers to amswer questions - the whole track was two people deep in spectators pretty much all weekend so definately worth it as a showcase.

Officially i was the only 1/10h offroad rep there :cry: if Mark and the Dremel crew hadn't brought their buggys it would've been a shame, the carpet got soaked with nitro fuel pretty quickly so we all just did crazy drifting all weekend :thumbsup: which hopefully looked good for the crowd.

Good to meet some new people form different classes though, everyone concerned dd a top job of demoing our sport!
