Brooklands Morris Day - What date This Year?

Post by BigDawgV8 »

Hi All,

Coming up to the time when the Morris/Austin Day is held at Brooklands Museum.

Anyone know the date? Normally early March.

A bit too far and a bit too expensive for me this year...............probably......! :)

Ta!

Last year was about £7/8 per person so not worth cramming ten people into the Minor 'cos you don't pay per car

Do you just turn up in your mog or do you have to book? It's only 40 mins round M25 from here so might give it a go....

Wrap up warm, it can be cold, wet and windy. On the other hand it has been known to be pleasantly mild.
Don't forget to take your camera for the photo shoot on the banking

I put a couple of videos of the hill climb last year here;

We got lucky last year and it was a cool, sunny, spring day Mike is right though, this year might not be as nice.
Loads of good stuff to see at Brooklands too, great day out, I recommend it to the house.
