You need a green sticker for access to the club stands. I have a couple of places left.

Hi Angus - any chance of a spare ticket as I was out of the country when I should have been posting a SAE !!

On the plus side I have a excel.net sticker in both my excel and daily driver !

Hi Angus, would I be able to put my name down for a green sticker to be on the stand? I’ve got the tickets and yellow sticker. Let me know and i’ll send you an SAE ASAP!
Jim

Get a SAE in the post now and see what happens!

I haven't run out of tickets yet, but probably will in a day or two. I'm issuing them on a first-come first-served basis.

Anyone who gets theirs to me in time will get a sticker and two tickets.

If you are successful, please give your other sticker and tickets to a deserving cause.

Once the whole allocation has gone, I'll post here with an indication of how many weren't in time as well as a list of those who are on the club stand.

Once all tickets out etc, will there be an intention for those travelling in various directions on the Saturday a plan to meet en route prior to arriving at Hethel, and or a time for cars to assemble on the stand. Am I right in thinking the invite time says 10 a.m. to 4 p.m but assembly on stands is from 8.30 a.m. Likewise according to threads on the TLF site for the 60th celebrations there were 2 hr queues trying to get on site, hence this years ticket plan to avoid a re-occurence.

I could certainly do with meeting up with Richard and Alan in advance, to get their spare tickets so I can bring all my family in.

The car park in the centre of Wymondham is close, and offers free parking for an hour (used to be totally free when I lived there and worked at Lotus!), but might be overwhelmed with Lotus if others have the same idea...

Angus did say a couple of weeks ago that we are supposed to be in place by 9:00 - right?

Or - just a thought - if we meet somewhere not on the A11 we could take the scenic back roads for the final stretch, and come in to Lotus from the opposite direction than the obvious A11 / Wymondham, with (hopefully) less of a queue approaching the factory?

Bressingham Steam Museum car park will probably be pretty quiet that time of the morning, or Banham Zoo is slightly closer.

Dispatching today (surnames only)

I'm expecting a couple more from the FB group so that leaves 5 or 6 spares. Get in quick!

No SAEs received today so next batch will be on Saturday, or Monday evening (meaning Tuesday morning really).

SAE in post this morning Angus - fingers crossed

Hi Angus,
SAE will be posted tonight on the walk home. Fingers crossed it makes it to you for Monday.

When did B&B go higher than £10 a night?

How do you like your eggs?

Hi Richard, Don't want to worry you, but this is how my car looks at the moment -



but I will at least have the seats and seat belts back in, but I very much doubt it will have much in the way of carpets - you may have seen my post about the issues I have had with the Coverdale carpets.

I will be staying around Duxford, so a meeting point somewhere on route from there would be good.

In terms of time to be in place - the standard tickets (yellow stickers) request that you arrive between 7.30 and 9.00. Cars arriving after 9.00 will only be allowed in when there is an appropriate safe moment. Don't know if different for club stands (green stickers)

Thanks Angus received today.

Received mine this morning too, thanks Angus.

I now have a spare "yellow sticker" (for individual, non-club stand entry) and the 2 associated entry tickets. I'm intending to put it up for grabs on the 2 Elite / Eclat / Excel Facebook groups later on today - unless anybody on here wants it?

I'm staying in Duxford on the Friday night, and would be happy to meet up for the final drive-in on Saturday morning.

Mine just popped through the letter box too

Also, as Bryan, I have a spare standard (yellow) pass and tickets available. Let me know if interested. First to ask will get it, so offering here first.
