When's the deadline? It would be a shame to be on the grass again.

Yeah we didn't get that much attention last year...

The deadline is not until the 29th of June. What they've said this year is that they're simply allocating stands from the centre of the track outwards in the order they receive the application, rather than some people getting preferential treatment which has been the accusation in the past (though they have at least said they're no longer putting people in the gravel traps!).

It's a tricky one. Normally I don't take bookings until after FITP and then wait until a week or so before the deadline to give people the maximum chance to come. This time, because of the above, I'd planned on taking bookings after I'd ordered our FITP tickets, and giving people until the end of May, a couple of weeks after FITP. I'd still prefer to do this as with FITP being a social meet it gets people to meet one another and encourages them to consider coming to one of the bigger but more expensive shows. But... that could come at the expense of giving us a worse position at Silverstone.

I'd welcome any opinions as to whether people would prefer an end of May deadline or just a few weeks time, and after taking a straw poll will start taking bookings on Sunday evening.

Sooner the better it is short notice but why make those willing to come and able to suffer on what space we can snap up.

In all fairness, it's an event that happens every year many will all ready know about and we have all ready been disscussing it so its an inevitable event for enough notice to know when it needs booking or wether someone has decided they wish they want to attend.

I wouldn't be a happy bunny if we ended up in the skips, because a particular member or many couldn't make their mind up if they wanted to spend £20 on a stand pass or to go to a BQQ. with months in notice.

It is a tricky one i know of at least 2 clubs that got there forms in december which is mad,as long as im with all my old friends i dont care where we are ahhh i sound like a tart now lol

I will pay for mine as soonn as there available. No messing

I think I might come to FF with you guys, will see how I mingle at FITP and decide, unless the deadline is shorter in which case Ill make a decision sooner. Problem is I have a large group of friends who are all from stoc and ffst so the motivation to chat to people I dont know isnt there. Im sure I will tho!

You'll walk around and see everyone anyway, Tom. Won't matter who you with. I'll go and find Chelle, Mark etc sometime on in the day. People don't stay at the stands anyway.

I'll pay for my ticket the day it comes out. Sooner the better I reckon.

Can we pay at FITP as it maybe easier for some

I'm now able to take bookings for Ford Fair:

I must apologise for the relatively short amount of time to book this year, but as most people had indicated they wanted it booked asap I've given people until the 22nd of April, just over three weeks, to purchase their tickets.

I should be able to book sometime this coming week

22nd April only?
don't think im gonna be able to make that

bit short if you ask me even if people wanted it asap
i would say a week or 2 after FITP would have been a better date
