That was an excellent gathering, fire-jumping, mead, bird cooked over an open (ish) fire, beer and burgers. It was so nice for me to have other people to celebrate Beltane with, thank you everyone for taking part enthusiastically, and I hope your orange trees grow strong and healthy.
Looking forward to the next fire event now <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

We're definitely planning to go, although we haven't made any arrangements yet.

Ooh!! Problem is going to be deciding which day to go. I expect it'll be busiest on Saturday, but that's also probably when the best stuff will be on. We'll have to have a good look at the timetable.

Right, we're looking at booking tickets this week for this.
We're thinking Saturday is the best day, anyone got any better ideas? Anyone else going to come? <!--emo&:unsure:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/unsure.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='unsure.gif' /><!--endemo-->

I've just spoken to KW and he says he usually just buys the tickets on the day. The danger is if the heavens open, it will be a very soggy and not very eventful event.
I also have no idea how much cheaper or not it is if you buy in advance compared to the day. ?43.20 in advance, but as far as I can see it's maybe only ?40 on the day...??
There's little danger of them selling out, so do people want to pre-book or just go if the weather is nice?

It doesn't make any difference now, but if we'd bought online before the 30th June they would have only been ?34.00. We can buy them on the day I guess, at least then we'd save the booking fee.
Not too bothered about the weather tbh, we'd probably go anyway as we'd planned to already, but it's up to everyone. We both have rain coats and aren't nesh!! <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->
We'll need to start early, is everyone ok with setting an alarm and getting out of bed early? First race is at 9:00 and it's the Golden Oldies "mini" race which I'd quite like to see.......
What do you think??

It might be a case of being a bit adaptable here, depending on the forecast. If the Saturday looks miserable but the Sunday is better, we can change around to the Sunday. Or something.
But I think if we can just rock up on the day and get tickets, then we may as well do that. After all, ?3.20 is a beer. Or, as this is Silverstone, half a beer! <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Agreed, we can keep an eye on the weather nearer the day, but at the same time we're English, do we want to miss the stuff we want to see (the pre-66 minis and Italian Stallions aren't running on the Sunday) just because it's raining a bit?RedeyesUK wrote:<!--emo&:mmm:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/mmm.png' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='mmm.png' /><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:shame:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/shame.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='shame.gif' /><!--endemo-->Mrs Redeyes wrote:We both have rain coats and aren't nesh!!? <!--emo&:lol:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/laugh.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='laugh.gif' /><!--endemo-->

JJ, how long roughly do you think it'll take to get to Silverstone from your house?
I've checked out the weather for the weekend and it looks alright on Saturday, a bit cloudy but temperature-wise should be fine:
<img src='http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w165 ... ther-1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>
