Ford Fair 2016
Sunday 7th August 2016
Silverstone
Club Booking Closed
Meet Point
Time: 06:30 am
Location: Tesco carpark, Towcester. NN12 6PF
We'll convoy from here at 07:00 sharp, to avoid the queues on the way in.
Meeting here is not compulsory, as you will all receive your ticket(s) directly by email in the week before the show. Please print them off if you can to avoid any potential technical difficulties of reading the ticket from your smartphone. If you don't want to meet us here, then please ensure you get to the stand before 8am. If you leave it much later than this to try and get in, be prepared to spend at least and hour queuing to get in... you have been warned!!
There are a few things that I would recommend bringing with you.
Sun cream
Even on a hazy day, it's still the middle of summer, and without it you will burn. Please don't think that you'll be fine, and you don't normally burn. You're out in the sun for around 10 hours. You. Will. Burn.
Umbrella / Waterproof
Because we're in Britain, and rain is always a risk.
Drinks & snacks
Obviously there are food vendors at the show, but their prices are always extortionate.
Cash
There are cash points at the circuit now, but they may charge for the privilege (I've never used them, so don't know). Although most of the larger traders now have mobile card readers, you don't want to get caught out if they have technical difficulties. Also, the ice cream van doesn't take cards, and who can go to a car show and not have at least one Mr Whippy?!
It's also worth considering bringing a spare key if you have one, and giving it to someone you trust to hold on to. With how many times you'll be in and out of your car during the day, there's always a risk that you'll lock your keys in the boot. You don't want to be that person who has to call the AA out to get them back in their car!
